The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
EN
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped
with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed to eliminate lime
and minerals from the water.
Loading Salt into the Softener
Note: If your model does not have a water softener feature, skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained below.
Warning! Use only salt specifically designed for dishwasher use! Every other type of
salt, particularly table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages, caused
by the use of an unsuitable salt, the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor are
they liable for any damages caused.
Warning! Only fill with salt before running a cycle.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining
on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
1.
Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2.
Place the end of the supplied funnel into the hole and pour in approximately 1.5 kg
of dishwasher salt. See
3.
Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
4.
After filling the container, screw the cap on tightly.
5.
The salt warning light will go out after the salt container is filled with salt.
6.
Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should
be started. We suggest a short program. This prevents the filter system, pump,
and other important parts of the appliance from being damaged by salty water.
This is out of warranty.
Note: The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light (
control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning
light may stay on even though the salt container is filled. If there is no salt warning light
on the control panel, you can estimate when to refill the salt by the number of cycles
the dishwasher has run.
Note: If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
6.2. RINSE AID DETERGENT
The rinse-aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets
on your dishes. These droplets can form spots and streaks. It improves drying by
allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse-aids.
Warning:
Only use branded rinse-aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse-aid dispenser with
any other liquid, such as dishwasher cleaning agents or liquid detergent. Doing so will
damage your dishwasher.
When to refill the rinse-aid
How often you need to refill the rinse-aid dispenser depends on how often dishes
are washed and which rinse-aid setting is used.
■ The Low Rinse Aid indicator (
is needed.
■ Do not overfill the rinse-aid dispenser.
