Adding salt Water softening system needs to be regenerated in order for the product to operate with the same performance continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose. Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine. It is recommended to use granule- or powder-formed softening salts in the water softening system. Do not use salts that do not completely dissolve in water such as table salt or rock salt. Otherwise the performance of the system may deteriorate in time. Salt reservoir will be filled with water when you start the product. For this reason, add salt before operating the machine. 1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add softening salt. 2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counterclockwise to open it (A). You can put about 2 kg of softening salt into the salt reservoir. 5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the reservoir is full. You need to add salt right before starting the machine. Thus, the overflowing salty water will be flushed immediately, preventing the risk of corrosion in machine. In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest programme. Since different salt brands in the market have different particle sizes and since the water hardness may vary, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours. Therefore, Salt Indicator remains on for a while after adding salt into the machine. 3. Add 1 liter of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use. 4. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using the salt funnel (D). To speed up dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it with a spoon. Detergent You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine. Only use detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. Note that detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate can be harmful for the environment. Liquid detergents without chlorine may not remove tea and coffee stains from cups. Adding detergent Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Contact the manufacturer of the detergent for further questions. 17/EN
