Salt
IMPORTANT: Always use dishwasher compatible salt.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. The use
of salt not designed for use in a dishwasher will invalidate your guarantee.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs to ensure any spilt salt does not lie on the base of the
appliance for an extended time as this can cause corrosion. The use of dishwasher salt in the water softener eliminates the calcium
deposits (limescale) that will form when used in hard water areas.
Filling the Salt Container
1
• Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the
cap from the salt container (see picture 1).
• To ensure correct functioning of the water softener, the
container must be filled with 500ml of water before the salt
is added.
• Insert the salt funnel [04] into the container (see picture 2) and
add sufficient dishwasher salt until it reaches the rim of the
container. Ensure that the container is not overfilled to avoid
spillage of salt onto the base of the appliance. It is normal
for some of the water to be displaced from the container
during filling.
• Remove the funnel and replace the cap.
