Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning res-

ults, the dishwasher needs to operate

with soft water. Hard water results in

the build-up of calcium deposits on

crockery and on the wash cabinet walls.

Mains water with a water hardness level

higher than 0.9mmol/l (5°dH – German

scale) must be softened. This occurs

automatically in the integrated water

softener. The water softener is suitable

for a water hardness level of up to

12.6mmol/l (70°dH – German scale).

In order to maintain the functions of

the water softener, it must be reactiv-

ated regularly. Reactivation occurs

automatically every eleventh pro-

gramme sequence. At the start of the

next programme, an additional 4.4l of

water is required for this process. En-

ergy consumption increases by

0.015kWh and the programme is ex-

tended by approx. 3minutes.

The above only applies to the ECO

programme at a water hardness of

2.5mmol/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

(<3.8mmol/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 0.9mmol/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 “Settings – 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 in your dishwasher,

you can turn off both refill reminders if

you wish (see “Settings – Refill re-

minders”).

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.
