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.

B. Before first wash, add 1lt. of water in the salt container of your machine.
C. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about, 0.13kg
