Filling the special salt
container
How the salt works
While washing is taking place, salt is
automatically rinsed out of the salt
container into the water softener where it
dissolves the lime in the water.
The dissolved lime is pumped out of the
dishwasher. The water softening system is
then ready for the next load.
This process of regeneration can only
function when the salt is dissolved in
water.
Unscrew the lid on the salt container
24
.
Before you use the dishwasher for the first
time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the
salt container.
Use the enclosed salt filler.
Refill with salt (do not use edible salt)
until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg).
When the salt dispenser is being refilled,
water is displaced and drains away.
Therefore always refill the salt dispenser
immediately before switching on the
dishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As a
result, the overflowing salt solution will be
immediately diluted and rinsed out. Then
remove salt residue from the filler area and
screw on the dispenser cover, ensuring
that it is not fitted askew.

on applicable models
The LOW SALT indicator
4
on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
If the switch is set to ”0”, it is
not necessary to add any salt,
as none is consumed while the
dishwasher is operating. If the
switch is set between ”1” and
”3”, then salt must be added.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
LOW SALT indicator
Salt should be added as soon as the LOW
SALT indicator
4
in the fascia panel
illuminates. For models that do not have
an indicator in the fascia panel, salt should
be added as soon as the coloured dot in
the lid on the salt container
24
is no
longer visible.
