• Do not use everyday table salt or cooking salt
as they contain insoluble substances which
could damage the dishwasher.
• Do not pour detergent into the salt container.
This will damage the dishwasher.
• Use the correct amount of salt. Too much may
cause rust stains to occur on cutlery, too little
may cause white residue to occur on cutlery
and crockery.
