FILLING THE SPECIAL SALT
CONTAINER...
Note: Only use recommended Dishwasher
salt or granular salt. DO NOT use everyday
table salt, cooking salt or road salt as they
contain insoluble substances which could
harm the Dishwasher.
How the salt works:
While washing is taking place, salt is
automatically rinsed out of the salt
container into the water softener where it
dissolves the lime in the water. The
dissolved lime is pumped out of the
dishwasher. The water softener system is
then ready for the next load. This process of
regeneration can only function when the
salt is dissolved in water.
● You should fill just before starting the
programme.
● Unscrew the lid of the salt container.
Before using the dishwasher for the
first time, pour approximately 1 litre of
water into the salt container.
● Use the supplied funnel to fill salt to the
top of the container (maximum of
1.5kg). As you tip in the salt some of
the water is displaced and drains away.
When you have done this, clean off any
remnants of salt from the area around
the neck of the container. Replace the
lid, back onto the container, ensuring
that it is not cross-threaded.
The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front
panel will light up initially but will
extinguish again after a short period when
the salt solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
Note:
When the control is set to
0, it is not
necessary to fill up with salt as none will be
consumed while the dishwasher is
operating. The LOW SALT indicator is
switched off. If the control is set between
1
and
7, then salt must be added to the
dispenser.
WARNING:
DO NOT pour detergent into the
special Salt Container. This will destroy
the water softener.
LOW SALT Indicator:
Add more salt as soon as the LOW SALT
indicator 5 on the front panel lights up.
