Filling in the Salt
Function of the salt
During the rinse cycle the salt is being
washed automatically from the salt
compartment into the softening system
where it will dissolve the lime.
The lime-containing solution drains from
the dishwasher. Afterwards the softening
system is ready to be loaded again.
This regeneration cycle will only work
if the salt is dissolved in water.
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment
27
.
Before switching on the appliance
for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre
of water into the salt dispenser.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full (max.
1.5 kg). When you refill the salt, water
is being displaced and drains off.
Therefore, to prevent corrosion, always
refill with salt immediately before
switching on the dishwasher. This way
the overflowing salt solution is diluted
and flushed immediately. Use the
enclosed salt filling aid ( in some
models).
Then clean the filling area of salt
residues and screw the compartment
lid back on without tilting the lid.
*
on applicable models
The LOW SALT indicator
5
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 set hardness value is ”0”, do not
add salt because no salt is used during
operation; the salt refill indicator
is switched off.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator
5
is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.
