Filling the special salt
container
How the salt works
While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water.
The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softening system is then ready for the next load.
This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.
Unscrew the lid on the salt container 24 .
Before you use the dishwasher for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt container.
Use the enclosed salt filler.
Refill with salt (do not use edible salt) until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg). When the salt dispenser is being refilled, water is displaced and drains away. Therefore always refill the salt dispenser immediately before switching on the dishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As a result, the overflowing salt solution will be immediately diluted and rinsed out. Then remove salt residue from the filler area and screw on the dispenser cover, ensuring that it is not fitted askew.

The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.
Note
When the control is set to 
, it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The LOW SALT indicator is switched off. If the control is set between 
and 
, then salt must be added to the dispenser.
Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator 5 is lit on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle.
