17 Integral water softener (optional)
By softening the mains water, limescale build-up in the machine and on the dishes can be
avoided. The salt container must be filled with regeneration salt in order for the water sof-
tener to work correctly.
Lack of salt display
A pictogram on the display shows when the salt container is empty and needs
to be refilled. The display disappears after filling the salt container, as soon as
approx. 3 wash cycles have been completed and part of the salt has been
dissolved.
Refilling the salt
TIP Salt residues can negatively affect the wash result. It is best therefore to top up
the regeneration salt before starting the self-cleaning programme.
Possible risk of damage to the water softener
Chemicals such as detergent or rinse aid will inevitably damage the
water softener. Only fill with regeneration salt or a pure evaporated salt.
Caution
Possible damage to the functioning of the water softener
Do not fill with any other types of salt (e.g. table salt or de-icing salt).
These can contain non-soluble components. Fill only with fine-grain salt
(max. 1-4 mm grain size).
INFO Due to their size, salt tablets are not suitable.
Danger of rust formation in the filling area
After filling the regeneration salt, start a wash cycle or the self-cleaning
programme in order to wash away any salt residues that may be present.
Caution
