adding salt

If you live in a hard water area deposits may form on your dishes and utensils. Using salt softens
the water and reduces the formation of deposits.
Please follow the steps below to fill the salt reservoir. The water hardness level will also need to be set.
1. Remove the lower basket and turn the reservoir cap anticlockwise.
2. Pour in approximately 1 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" programme P8 immediately (without any
crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from
the compartment.

running out of salt and requires refilling.
• Once refilled, the salt low warning indicator will cease to illuminate within a few days,
depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.
