adjusting salt consumption

Salt consumption must be adjusted to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. If you 

don’t know how hard the water in your home is, please ask the company that supplies water in your 

area.
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart.

To optimise and customise the level of salt consumption, please follow the steps below to adjust the 

salt consumption.
1.  Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2.  There is an arrow-shaped indicator in the reservoir, which you can turn. You may turn it to the “-” 

or “+” settings based on the water hardness in your area.

1 ˚dh (German degree) = 1.25mmol/l

1 ˚fh (French degree) = 0.178mmol/l

1 ˚Clark (British degree) = 1.78mmol/l

• 

Do not use everyday table salt or cooking salt as they contain insoluble 

substances which could damage the dishwasher.

• 

Do not pour detergent into the salt container. This will damage the dishwasher.
