Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warnin g light may still be on even tho ugh the
salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the con trol panel (for some Mode ls),you can estimate when to f ill
the salt into the softener by the cyc les that the dishwashe r has run.
2. If there are spills o f the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remo ve the excessive sa lt.
Always use the salt intende d for use with dishw asher.
The salt container i s located ben eath the lower bas ket and should b e filled as explaine d in the

Attention!
Only use salt specifically desi gned for the use in dishwashers! Every other type of
salt not specifically de signed for the use in a dishwas her, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable
salt the manufacturer doe s not give any warrant y nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fill with salt just before start ing one of the complete wa shing programs.
This will prevent any grai ns of salt or salty wate r,whi ch may have been spi lled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
