Salt Refill Warning Indicator
Situated on the console, indicates when illuminated that the salt container requires refilling. When the
salt container is filled for the first time it requires 1.5 – 2.0 kg of salt to be added. The warning light
will stay illuminated for the first 5 cycles after filling with salt. On the 6th cycle, the light will be
extinguished.
The control module counts the activation of the regeneration valve and after the end of the 29th cycle,
the machine fills with water and turns on the warning light. The salt container then needs to
be filled with 1.5 – 2 kg of salt. A further 600cc of water will then be displaced into the sump.
This along with the previous water will close the pressure contacts. At the start of the next cycle, the
module detects the pressure switch closure and switches off the salt indicator light.
Note: If salt is added before the end of the 29th cycle, for example, at the 15th cycle, the indicator will
be illuminated at the end of the 29th cycle. To overcome this situation, 2 litres of water should be
poured into the dishwasher. This will close the pressure contacts and the control module will
extinguish the indicator light the next time the machine is used.

Its a pile of Indesit do do, the ‘other’ possibilities are endless. :rolls:

Not come across that as a fault but most dishwashers in this area flash the salt light. The water is very soft so there is no need to add salt in the first place. 8)

It does mention that you have to pour 2 litres of water into the machine to switch the light off if salt is added before the 29th cycle. :con:
