Special salt

You can use special salt to soften
water.

Adding special salt

If the special salt refill indicator lights
up, add special salt to the dispenser
for special salt just before the pro-
gramme starts. The consumption of
special salt depends on the water
hardness. The higher the water hard-
ness, the greater the consumption of
special salt.

ATTENTION!

¡

Detergent may damage the water
softening system.

Only fill the dispenser of the wa-
ter softening system with special
dishwasher salt.

¡

Special salt for dishwashers can
damage the tub due to corrosion.

To make sure that any special
salt that escapes is washed out
of the tub, add the special salt
to the dispenser for special salt
immediately before the pro-
gramme starts.

1.

Unscrew the lid of the dispenser
for special salt and remove.

2.

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