salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the

The higher the content of these minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (dH°), French degrees (°TH)
and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).

which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket
and unscrew the cap of the salt container

unit when filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
The salt indicator light on the control
panel can remain illuminated for 2-6
hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using
salt that takes longer to dissolve
then this can take longer. The operation of the machine is not affected.
