Filling in the Salt
Note
If the hardness of your mains
water corresponds to the
device’s index value
(see
chapter “Setting up the softening
system”), you do not need to fill
in the salt because the operation
will not use any salt. In case of
the settings “Hardness-Auto” and
to
, salt must be filled in.
During the rinse cycle the salt is being
washed automatically from the salt
compartment into the softening system
where it will dissolve the lime.
The lime-containing solution drains from
the dishwasher. Afterwards the softening
system is ready to be loaded again.
This regeneration cycle will only work if
the salt is dissolved in water.
After switching on the device, lack of salt
is indicated by the display “Refill Salt”.
(This display will no longer appear once
you have set the softening system to the
value
.)
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment

.
Before operating the device for the first
time you must pour 1 litre of water into
the salt compartment.
Then you must refill salt (not table salt)
using the supplied salt filling aid until the
salt compartment is full (max 1.5 kg).
When you refill the salt, water is being
displaced and drains off. Therefore the
refilling must take place shortly before
switching on the device. (In order to avoid
corrosion). This way the overflowing salt
solution is diluted and flushed immediately.
Then clean the filling area of salt residues
and screw the compartment lid back on
without tilting the lid.
As soon as a sufficiently high salt solution
has formed the display “Refill Salt” will
disappear.
If you do not want to wait until the display
disappears but you want to wash
immediately, confirm the refilling of the salt
using the button M/OK

.
If you do not want to refill the salt now you
can skip the display “Refill Salt” by
pressing the button M/OK

.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
