content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. The softener should be
adjusted according to the hardness of the water in yourarea. Your localWaterAuthority
can advise youonthehardnessofthewaterinyourarea.

1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Depending on how well the salt dissolves, thesalt warning light may still be on even though the
salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (forsome Models),you can estimate when to fill
the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive salt.
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained
inthe following:
Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed forthe use in dishwashers! Every other type of
salt not specifically designed for theuse in a dishwasher, 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 withsalt justbefore starting one of thecomplete washingprograms.
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.
The rinse aid isreleasedduring the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets onyour dishes, which can
leave spots and streaks. It also improvesdryingby allowing water toroll offthe dishes. Your dishwasheris
designed touseliquid rinse aids. The rinseaiddispenser islocated inside thedoor next to the detergentdispenser.
