4.  Filling the salt reservoir

   •  Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

   • 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.
   • Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the salt reservoir cap on again firmly.
   • 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.
