Pull out the lower rack completely, unscrew and remove the container cap 2. First fill the container up with water (you won't have to do this again next time) 3.

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener which uses special salt to get rid of limescale in the water. The salt container should be filled up when the low salt indicator light "S" flashes.
