B. Loading the Salt Into the Soft ener

Always use the salt intende d for use with dishw asher. The salt c ont ainer is locat ed beneath the l ower basket and sh ould be filled as e xplained in th e follow ing:

Attention!

Only use salt spe cifi cally designed for the use i ndi shwashers! Every othertype of salt n ot specif ically designed fo r the u se in a dishwas her, espe cially table salt,will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused b y the use of unsuitab le salt t he manufact urer does not give any wa rranty nor is li able for any damage s caused.

Only fill wi th salt just b efore starting one o f the co mplete wa shing p ro grams. This will prevent any grai ns of s a lt or salty water,wh ich may have b een spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for anype riod of time, which may cau se corrosi on.

1.The salt con tainer must only be refilled when the sal t warning light in the cont rol panel comes on. 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 n o salt warning light in the con trol panel (fo r so me Mode ls),you can estimate when to f ill the s alt into the softene r by the cycles that the di shwasher has run.

2. If there are spills of the salt , a soa k or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessivesa lt.
