Switching off the water
softening system
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
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-
stances. According to manufactur-
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
salt.

Regeneration of the water
softening system
In order to obtain fault-free function of
the water softening system, the appli-
ance performs regeneration of the
water softening system at regular in-
tervals.
Regeneration of the water softening
system takes place before the end of
the main rinse cycle in all pro-
grammes. It will increase the run time
and consumption values, e.g. water
and electricity.
