Always use salt which is intended for dishwasher use.

The salt container is situated underneath the lower basket, fill it upasfollows:

1.Pull out the lower basket completely, unscrew and removethecontainercap

2.If it is the first time you add the salt,firstfillthecontainerupwith water (you won't have to do this againnexttime)
