Special salt $
Using special salt
Always refill with special salt immediately before
switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun
special salt solution is immediately washed out
and does not corrode the rinsing tank.
1 Open the screw-type cap of the compartment
1B.
2 Fill the tank with water (only required
when switching on the appliance for the first
time).
3 Then add salt (not table salt).
The water is displaced and runs out.
* depending on model
The salt refill indicator X on the fascia is lit. It goes
out as soon as a sufficiently high salt solution has
formed.
If the set value ‹ is displayed, do not add any salt
because salt will not be used during
operation of the appliance, the salt display
is switched off. If the set values ‚ to ˆ are displayed,
salt must be added.
Using detergents with salt
component
If combined detergents with a salt component are
used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water
hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l).
If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must
be used.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator X on the fascia
is lit, top up the salt.
Depending on the washing frequency
and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may
not have to be topped up for several months.
If the salt refill indicator X is impaired (e. g.
when using combined detergents containing salt
component), it can be switched off.
Proceed as described under “Setting water
softening system” and set the value to ‹.
The water softening system and salt refill
indicator are now switched off.
ã=Warnings
Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You
will destroy the water softening system.
To prevent corrosion, always refill with salt
immediately before switching on the appliance.
