Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
1
Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never
fill the salt container with any another type of
salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter-
gent. This would irreparably damage the
water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each
time that you really do have a packet of spe-
cial salt in your hand.
Fill with special salt:
• Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
• When the SALT indicator
t
on the control
panel is illuminated.
3 If the water hardness in your area is less
than 4 °d, you do not need to use special
salt.
1. Open the door, remove the lower rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anti-
clockwise.
3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the container open-
ing.
Fill the container with special salt through the fun-
nel; the capacity of the container is approx. 1.0-
1.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with special salt.
3
The water expelled by filling the salt con-
tainer with special salt runs out of the salt
container onto the base of the washing com-
partment. This is not a cause for concern,
the water will be pumped out at the start of
the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container open-
ing.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise spe-
cial salt will leak into the wash water, this could
lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse
program after filling the salt container with special
salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt
crystals that have been spilt.
3
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it
can take several hours for the salt to dissolve
in the water and the special salt indicator
t
to extinguish.
The setting of the water softener and thus
the consumption of salt are dependent on
the hardness of the local water.
