This machine is equipped with a water softener. To use the water softener,
fill the dishwasher with salt.
• After first having removed the bottom basket, loosen the cap
of the reservoir (1 and 2).
• Prior to filling the reservoir for the first time, pour one litre of water
in it (3).
• Place the funnel in the reservoir opening. Pour about 2 kg of salt in
it (4). It is normal for a little water to flow out of the opening when
doing this. Note! Clear up any spilled salt and always run a full
cycle immediately afterwards to prevent damage to the bottom.
• Carefully tighten the cap of the reservoir.
Note! Always fill the salt reservoir and adjust the water hardness
setting before using the dishwasher. Refill the salt reservoir when the
water softener indicator (2) lights up. It is possible that the light will
remain lit for a short while after the salt reservoir is filled. It will go out
automatically when enough salt has been dissolved in the water.
