5. USING YOUR DISHWASHER
Before using your dishwasher:
1.
Set the water softener.
2.
Load the salt into the softener.
3.
Load the basket.
4.
Fill the detergent dispenser.
If you need to set the water softener, see section "WATER SOFTENER" on page 23.
5.1. LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Note: If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in this section.
WARNING
•
Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!
Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use, especially
table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use
of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any
damages caused.
•
Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
Follow the steps below to add dishwasher salt:
1.
Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2.
Place the end of the funnel (if supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5 kg of
dishwasher salt.
3.
Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4.
After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.
5.
The salt warning light will turn off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
6.
Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should
be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump
or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is
out of warranty.
Notes:
•
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light (
the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt
warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can
estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher
has run.
•
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
