Unscrew cap.

Fill the salt reservoir with water 

before the first wash only.

(depending on the model)

The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit 

at the end of several wash cycles. If the 

water hardness level falls within category 

(soft), no salt is required.

Daily check

Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to “soft”!)

- Press and hold together Programs and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.
- Programs LEDs will indicate the water hardness setting.
- Press the Programs button to increase setting (when the level reaches 7, the next key press will set the level back to 1.
- Wait 30 seconds (control panel switches off) or press START/Resume button to save setting.

Add salt (never add detergent!)

min. 0.8 kg / max. 1 kg 

Water hardness level is factory set 

for medium-hard water (level 4).

Even if you use tablets which 

include salt functionality, you must 

still add regeneration salt since such 

detergents are not effective enough 

at softening hard water.

At first time use, the salt 

reservoir has to be filled 

independently from water 

hardness level (see 

description below in step 1 

“Daily check”).

Screw on the cap. 

Salt residual  

around the cap 

need to be 

removed. Some 

salt reservoir have 

a level indicator 

integrated in the 

cap (see below 

how to check).

Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient). Residual saline solution or grains of salt can 

lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.

How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results
