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, the salt warning light may still be on even though the
salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the con trol panel (for some Models),you can estimate when to fill
the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.

Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt contain er is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained
in the following:
Warning!
Only use salt specifically desi gne d for dishwashers use! Every other type o f
salt not speci fically designed fo r dishwasher use, e specially table salt, wil l
damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable
salt the ma nufacturer does not give any wa rranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fil l with salt just before starting one of the co mplete washing p rograms.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty wate r, which ma y have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machi ne for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
C. Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, whic h can
leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is
designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside, on the door and next to the detergent dispens er.
To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns c ompletely
black . The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, a s pot and streak free drying.
Warning!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any o ther substances
(e.g. Di shwasher cleaning agent, liquid deterge nt). Th is would damage the appliance.
