20_ Using the detergent and water softener
LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
ATTENTION
• Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of
damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is
liable for any caused damages.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs. This will prevent any
grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
• After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires.
1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from
the salt container.

2. If you are fi lling the container for the fi rst time, fi ll 2/3 of its volume with water (around 1 liter).
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about
1.5 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of
the salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
5. Usually, the salt warning light will be o after the salt container is fi lled with salt.
• The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light on the control panel comes on.
Although the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not switch o until the salt fully
dissolves.
If there is no salt warning light on the control panel, you can judge when to load the salt into the
softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
• If a lot of salt is spilt inside the dishwasher, run a pre wash program to reduce the spillage.
