Water softener
Important!
The water softener must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water
softening systems. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table salt, rock salt or
pellets as they may contain impurities that will impair or diminish the life of the water softener.

The salt reservoir

Water softening can only take place when there
is salt in the reservoir. The salt reservoir must
be filled prior to using the dishwasher and
whenever the salt indicator light is red.

Salt indicator light

If the salt indicator light is red, the salt reservoir is
empty.
If the salt indicator light is black, there is enough salt in the
reservoir for the wash program that has been selected.
Classic models only: The electronic display will
also indicate when the salt reservoir is empty by
displaying the salt symbol.
Important!
Do not pour detergent or rinse aid into the salt
reservoir. Detergent and rinse aid will destroy
the water softener.
