Before using for the first time
If you use combination products
which have salt in them in your
dishwasher, such as "3 in 1" or "4 in 1"
products, you should still add salt in
order to achieve optimum results.
Selecting the Combi tabs option
reduces salt consumption to between
1 1
/ and / of the normal amount. See
3 4
Settings menu J, Detergent type.
You can check the water hardness level
measured by the water softener sensor
in the display (see Settings menu J,
Water hardness).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you should still
add salt when using the dishwasher
for the first time. Salt should only be
replenished when the "Insufficient
salt" message appears. In areas
with very soft water this could be
after a long period of time.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent always leads
to serious damage to the water
softener. Make sure you have picked
up the correct packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
