To fill the salt, open the salt compartment cap.

When filling for the first time, fill the compartment with salt and water until it is almost full. We recommend using a funnel to make filling easier.

Then replace the cap and close.

Depending on the usage of the dishwasher, you may need to check and refill the salt every 20-30 washes.
