Water Softening System / Special Salt - Thermador Star Sapphire Serie Manuel D'utilisation

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
of the dishwasher. The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of
your tap water (see following water hardness table).

Using special salt
As soon as the low salt indicator
digital display, salt should be topped off. Always refill with
special salt immediately before switching on the
appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution
is immediately washed out and does not corrode
the rinsing tank.
NOTICE: Detergent will destroy the water softening
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.

Using detergents with salt component
If combined detergents with a salt component are used,
special salt can usually be omitted up to a water
hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If
the water hardness is over 21° dH, salt must be used.
