Adding Salt
If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form on your dishes and
utensils. As such, this appliance contains a salt reservoir for you to reduce the
hardness of the water.
Please follow the steps below to pour the salt into the salt reservoir and to
correspond to the water hardness level in your area.
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir. Pour in approximately
1 kg to 2 kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the reservoir with water until it overflows (first use only).
4. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
5. Run the "Rinse" wash programme P8 immediately (without any crockery
in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the compartment.

• The salt refill indicator on the control panel will illuminate when the
reservoir is running out of salt and requires refilling.
• The salt refill indicator will cease to illuminate within a few days,
depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.
• If you decide to use a detergent tablet, you may not need to add
salt, this depends upon the water hardness in your area and the
type of tablet being used. Check with your water supplier and the
detergent tablet manufacturers instructions.
• 1˚dh (German degree) = 0.18 mmol/l
• 1˚fh (French degree) = 0.1 mmol/l
• 1˚Clark (British degree) = 0.142 mmol/l
• 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.
