[. . . ] Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the container with salt. LE SA LT SA LZ SA L SE SR14 Salt refill indicator The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished, reminding you to add salt. SR11 12 152982 382 en 14-06-2001 9:40 Pagina 13 The rinse-aid The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage compartment built in to the in side of the door can hold about 110 ml of rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing programmes, according to the dosage setting. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 4°dH (8°TH). This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub. 19 152982 382 en 14-06-2001 9:40 Pagina 20 Washing programmes Programmes Type of soil Type of load Normal soil.
