Guide to the appliance

Brief instructions

Filling the salt reservoir  (depending on water hardness)

•  Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
• Damage to the water softener from detergents.
• Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
• Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
• Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load. The salt reservoir should therefore only be opened to replenish the salt.
• Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 l of water (first use only).
• Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir and carefully fill with dishwasher salt until the reservoir is full.
• Immediately after filling the salt container, run the QuickPowerWash  65 °C programme with the  Express option and without any load in the dishwasher to dissolve and remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
