NOTE: If your model does not have any water softener, you
may skip this section.
WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard
water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt
container specically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
B. Loading the Salt Into the Softener
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should
be lled as explained in the following:
Attention!
• Only use salt specically designed for the use in dishwashers!
Every other type of salt not specically designed for the use
in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuit-
able salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is
liable for any damages caused.
• Only ll 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 spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine
for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
A. After the lower basket has been removed, unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt container.
B. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and
introduce about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
C. Full ll the salt container with water. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
D. After lling the container, screw the cap tightly back clock-
wise.
E. The salt warning light will stop being after the salt container
has been lled with salt.
F. Immediately after lling the salt into the salt container, a
washing program should be started (We suggest to use a
short program). Otherwise the lter system, pump or other
important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty
water. This is out of warranty.
NOTE:
1. The salt container must only be relled when the salt warn-
ing light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how
well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on
even though the salt container is lled.
