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.
