Dishwasher salt
In order to maintain the water softener’s
functions, the water softener must be
reactivated regularly. Reactivation
occurs automatically every ninth
programme sequence. At the start of
the next programme, an additional 4.4l
of water is required for this process.
Energy consumption increases by
0.015kWh and the programme is
extended by 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 reactivation 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 – Active ingredients”).
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 “Before using for
the first time – Displaying and setting
the water hardness”).
 Damage to the water softener
from detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
 Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts.
Some types of salt may contain
insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to
malfunction.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen
salt for reactivation.
If you only ever use combination
detergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off both refill reminders if you
wish (see “Programme options –
Switching off the refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse
aid. Switch the refill reminders back
on if required.
