Dishwasher salt
In order to maintain the functions of
the water softener, it must be reactiv-
ated regularly. Reactivation occurs
automatically every ninth programme
sequence. At the start of the next pro-
gramme, an additional 4.4l of water is
required for this process. Energy con-
sumption increases by 0.015kWh and
the programme is extended by
3minutes.
The above only applies to the ECO
programme at a water hardness of
2.5mmol/l (14°dH – German scale).
For other programmes and water
hardness levels, the frequency of re-
activation will differ.
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires dishwasher salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<3.8mmol/l, or <21°dH – German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Detergent – Powder detergent and
detergent tabs”).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9mmol/l
(5°dH – German scale), you do not
need to add dishwasher salt. The salt
refill indicator will automatically switch
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see “Before using for
the first time – Displaying and setting
the water hardness”).
Damage to the water softener
from detergent.
Detergent will damage the water
softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Damage caused by using unsuit-
able salts.
Some types of salt may contain in-
soluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunc-
tion.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen
salt for reactivation.
If you only ever use combination de-
tergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Programme options –
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop us-
ing combination detergent products,
you refill the dishwasher salt and
rinse aid. Switch the refill reminders
back on if required.
