Water softening system / special salt *
To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires
soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise
limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior
container. Tap water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be
softened. The water is softened with special salt
(regeneration salt) in the water softening system

As soon as the low salt indicator
digital display, salt should be topped off. Refilling the salt
dispenser should be done before switching on the
appliance. This ensures that extra salt water is washed
out and will not corrode the rinsing tank.

system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.
Top off the salt as follows:
Undo the screw plug on the dispenser
1.
Fill the dispenser with water (required only when
2.
switching on the appliance for the first time).
Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or
3.
tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.
