Preparations for use
20
− Remove the dish rack and twist the lid off the regeneration salt container.
− Fill the regeneration salt container with 700 ml water before the fi rst use.
− Then add 1 kg dishwasher salt. It is normal if a small amount of water escapes
from the regeneration salt container.
− Once the container has been fi lled, twist the lid clockwise and closed.
− To avoid damage to the appliance, a wash program should be started directly
after fi lling (see “Selectingthe program” on page 28).
Depending on how quickly the salt dissolves in the water, it may be the case
that the salt display

remains lit after the salt has been added.
The regeneration salt container usually only has to be replenished if the salt display
lights up.
If there are salt residues in the appliance, start a quick program to rinse these out.
