Reactivation salt
In order to maintain the functions of the
water softener, it must be reactivated
regularly.
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires reactivation salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or < 21 °dH – German
scale), reactivation salt may not be
required if combination detergents are
being used (see "Active ingredients"
under "Detergents").
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 reactivation salt. The salt
refill reminder will automatically turn
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see "Displaying and
setting the water hardness level"
under "Before using for the first time").
Initial commissioning
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.
Use only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt or other pure
evaporated salt.
If you only ever use combination
detergent products containing salt and
rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can
turn off both refill reminders if you
wish (see "Turning off the refill
reminders" under "Options").
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the reactivation salt and rinse
aid. Turn the refill reminders back on
if required.
