Filling the dishwasher salt
Only use special dishwasher salt in
your appliance.The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from the
use of the wrong type of salt.
Use Diswasher salt only. Moderate or
coarse grained and easily soluble salts

GB
When operating for the first
time:
Pour 1 litre of water into the salt •
container (Fig. C).
Pour the salt into the container •
with the aid of the salt funnel
provided (Fig. D).
Pour in enough salt to fill the •
container. The container holds
approx. 2 kg.
To speed up the rate of dissolution •
of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.
Close the cap tightly.•
Begin a washing program •
immediately after filling the salt
container. The washing program
prevents damage to the appliance
which may be caused by any
spilled salt solution. After the
first washing cycle, the salt level
indicator light will go out.
Depending on the particle sizes of
different salt brands in the market,
tablet properties and water hardness,
dissolution of the salt in water may take
a couple of hours.
So, the salt indicator continues lighting
for a while after filling salt into the
machine. (For models with a salt
indicator)
