4.
Close the salt compartment and the
detergent dispenser.
Regularly check if there is
enough salt.
The compartment
Salt
can contain about
600 gr of salt that are sufficient for about
20 - 300 washing cycles (or 4 - 70 weeks)
depending on the set water hardness
level and if the water softener is
activated during wash phase only. If the
water softener is activated also during
rinse phase, the salt refilling lasts 5 - 80
washing cycles (or 1 - 18 weeks)
depending on the set water hardness
level. Refer to 'How to set the water
hardness level'.
The display shows the indicator when
compartment
Salt
needs to be refilled
with salt, even if a little salt still remains.
WARNING!
Pour the salt in the
compartment
Salt
only.
WARNING!
Do not put anything but salt
in the compartment
Salt
. If
any other detergent/additive
is poured inadvertently in
this compartment, please
refer to 'Eliminating
detergent or other additives
from salt compartment' in
'Troubleshooting' chapter.
Only use special salt for
dishwasher and/or washing
machine. Other types of
salts are less efficient and
over time could damage the
water softener technology
permanently.
Do not use
fine salt!
The appliance works
normally even without salt,
but without exploiting its full
potential. If using the
appliance without salt for a
long time, once the salt is
finally refilled, the water
softener function is
completely restored after a
few long washing cycles.
