Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for
use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the
water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting
one of the complete washing
programmes. 
This will prevent any grains of salt or
salty water, which may have been
spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.

To make easier the loading of the
cutlery basket we advise you to lower
the cutlery basket’s handle (fig.2).
For best results we recommend you
to use the cutlery grid. 
If the size and dimensions of the cutlery
do not allow the use of the grid, it can
be easily hidden (fig. 3).
