HOW TO FILL THE SALT CONTAINER
From a water hardness category of 1–2 (medium), before using the
dishwasher, fill the salt container with regeneration salt (to find out the
hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or
check the last bill you received).
If the water hardness level does not correspond to position 3 on the
selector (factory setting) or if the water hardness level changes:
Turn the selector to the correct position
(for dishwashers without salt sensor only):
Set the water hardness by turning the selector (if fitted) inside the door
(top left) using a screwdriver.
Use the table below to set the dial to the correct setting:

How to fill the salt container
Warning: Only use regeneration salts for use in domestic
dishwashers!
Do not fill the salt container with unsuitable substances, such as detergent,
as this will cause irreparable damage to the water softener system.
1.
Remove the lower rack.
2.
Unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3.
When first using the dishwasher: fill the salt container to the rim with
water.
4.
Fill the salt container to the rim with salt (using the filler provided)
(when filling for the first time use min. 1.5 kg and max. 2 kg) and
stir with a spoon handle.
5.
Screw the cap back on by turning it clockwise.
6.
Fit the lower rack.
7.
If regeneration salt is to be added,
immediately
start a wash
programme (rinsing alone is not sufficient) in order to eliminate
any residual saline solution straight away and avoid corrosion.
Salt level indicator
The dishwasher is equipped with an electric or visual salt level
indicator (depending on the model installed).
Electric indicator
The salt level indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when the
salt container is empty.
Visual indicator
The float is clearly visible in the cap window when the salt container is full.
The float lowers and is no longer visible when the salt container is empty.
