Fill the salt reservoir with water
before the first wash only.
(depending on the model)
The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit
at the end of several wash cycles. If the

is required and salt indicator lamp will
remain off.

Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to “soft”!)
- Press and hold together Programs and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.
- Programs LEDs will indicate the water hardness setting.

min. 0.8 kg / max. 1 kg
Screw on the cap.
Salt residual
around the cap
need to be
removed. Some
salt reservoir have
a level indicator
integrated in the
cap (see below
how to check).
Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient). Residual saline solution or grains of salt can
lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components. The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
Water hardness level is
factory set for medium-
hard water (level 4).
Detergents
When you use Powder or
Gel you must use salt and
set up water hardness level
as indicated in the table on
the right.
Also when you use
Tablets which include salt
functionality you must still
add regeneration salt.
