On initial start-up: Fill the dispenser
right up with water.

If you find the special salt refill indic-
ator irritating, e.g. when using com-
bined detergents with salt replace-
ment substances, you can switch the
salt refill indicator off.

Note

To avoid damage to the appliance, only
switch off the water softening system in
the following cases:

¡

The water hardness is max. 26  °E
and you are using combined deter-
gents with salt replacement sub-

ers, combined detergents with salt
replacement substances can gen-
erally only be used up to a water
hardness of 26  °E without adding
special salt.

¡

The water hardness is 0 - 8 °E.
You do not need to use special
