salt to soften the water.

Adding dishwasher salt

If the salt refill indicator lights up,

add special dishwasher salt to the

dispenser for salt just before the

cycle starts. The amount of spe-

cial dishwasher salt required de-

pends on the water hardness. The

higher the water hardness, the

greater the amount of salt re-

quired.

NOTICE:

Detergent may damage the water

softening system.

▶

Only fill the dispenser of the

water softening system with

special dishwasher salt.

Special salt for dishwashers can

damage the tub due to corrosion.

▶

To make sure that any special

salt that escapes is washed out

of the tub, add the special salt

to the dispenser for special salt

immediately before the pro-

gram starts.

Unscrew the lid of the salt dis-

penser and remove.

Before the first use: Fill the dis-

penser full with water.
