Adding dishwasher salt
Dishwasher salt is a special salt designed to
reduce water hardness. This helps prevent
limescale deposits in the appliance and on
dishes.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
You may damage the dishwasher and
its stainless steel surface, its seals and
filters by using dishwasher salt in an im-
proper manner.
■
Only use dishwasher salt which is suit-
able for dishwashers.
■
Always wipe away split dishwasher
salt immediately with a damp cloth.
■
Immediately after adding the dish-
washer salt, launch a dishwashing
programme.
You do not need to add dishwasher
salt to the dishwasher salt dispenser
– if you are only using multitabs which al-
ready contain dishwasher salt,
– if the water hardness in your area is in the
0–5 °dH range.
