Special salt for the water softener
3
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in
your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to
use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt sub-
stitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, the
special salt is to be put into the salt container.
– In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water
hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is dispensed
from the salt container.

Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply
container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking or table salt) or
detergent. This would destroy the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of special salt in your hand.

Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1 function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3in1 function
together with the programme, the inflow of special salt does not have
to be deactivated (see ”3in1 function”).

If the water softener is electronically set at “1” for the purpose of using
detergent that includes special salt, the special salt indicator is deacti-
vated.
