Operating Instructions
Special salt for the water softener
3 | If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in |
| your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to |
use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two ways:
•If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt sub- stitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment.
–In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added.
•If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container.
–In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is dispensed from the salt container.
1Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking or table salt) or detergent. This would destroy the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of special salt in your hand.
