Water softening system/Special salt
To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher
requires soft water, i.e. containing low
amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be
deposited on the utensils and inner container.
Tap water above 1.2 mmol/l must be softened.
The water is softened with special salt (regeneration
salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required amount of salt
depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water
(see table).

does not corrode the rinsing tank.

2
Fill the tank with water (only required when
switching on the appliance for the first time).
3
Then add dishwasher salt
(not table salt or
tablets)
.
The water is displaced and runs out.
As soon as the salt refill indicator
`
on the fascia is
lit, top up the salt.
