Salt
You can use special dishwasher
salt to soften the water.
Adding dishwasher salt
If the salt refill indicator lights up,
add special dishwasher salt to the
dispenser for salt just before the
cycle starts. The amount of spe-
cial dishwasher salt required de-
pends on the water hardness. The
higher the water hardness, the
greater the amount of salt re-
quired.
NOTICE:
Detergent may damage the water
softening system.
Only fill the dispenser of the
▶
water softening system with

special dishwasher salt.

Special salt for dishwashers can
damage the tub due to corrosion.
To make sure that any special
▶
salt that escapes is washed out
of the tub, add the special salt
to the dispenser for special salt
immediately before the pro-
gram starts.
Unscrew the lid of the salt dis-
1.
penser and remove.
Before the first use: Fill the dis-
2.
penser full with water.
