Filling The Dishwasher Salt Dispenser (Select models)
WARNING: Culinary and table salts do not dissolve in water easily. Using these kinds of salts will
damage the water softener system in your machine.
NOTE: The dishwasher can only use special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any
small-grained or powdered type of salt, which are easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can
damage your machine. The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from the use of the
wrong type of salt
WARNING: Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly. Do not fill the salt
container with dishwasher detergent.
WARNING: If the water in your area is very soft and consistently lower than 9°f (French Water
Hardness) you do not have to add dishwasher salt.

WARNING: Starting the machine with any wash program is recommended after filling the salt
container, in case of any spilled salt solutions. This prevents damage to the machine.
NOTE: Fill the salt compartment with water only the first time you fill the salt compartment.
NOTE: If the salt warning lamp on the control panel illuminates fill the salt compartment with salt
again.
WARNING:
Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
WARNING: If you switch to using a detergent that does not contain salt or rinse-aid, it is
important to remember to add dishwasher salt and rinse-aid.
Salt Refill Indicator (Select models)
If the salt indicator light comes on during a program, you need to wait until the end of the
•
program to fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt.
After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill indicator may still be lit up if the salt concentration
•
has not yet reached the correct level. It will go out when the correct concentration is reached.
NOTE: The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a
water hardness below 9 °f.
