Setting Salt Consumption - Silvercrest SGW 860 A1 Quick Start Manual

NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
Damage to the appliance is possible if incorrect salt addi-
tive is used.
 Always use dishwasher salt/regeneration salt that is suit-
able for the dishwasher.
 Normal household salt is not suitable and can damage
the appliance.
 Remove the dish rack (7) and twist the lid off the salt container (10).
 Fill the salt container (10) with 0,5 l water before the first use (see Fig. L).
 Use a suitable aid such as a normal household funnel to pour 130 g of dishwasher salt
into the opening on the salt container (10). It is normal if water escapes from the salt
container (10).
 Once the salt container (10) has been filled, twist the lid clockwise to tighten (see Fig.
L).
 To avoid damage to the appliance, always start the quick program without dishes after
adding salt (see section "10.3. Selecting a wash program" on page 61).
The salt container (10) must be filled up when the salt warning light switches
on. Once the salt consumption has been set according to "9.4. Setting salt
consumption" on page 53 and the salt container (10) has been filled, the
salt warning light goes out.
If there are salt residues in the appliance, start a quick program to rinse these out.

9.4. Setting salt consumption

For good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs low-lime water. Adding regenerating
salt helps to achieve the required water hardness with the aid of the softening system. To
maintain the function of the softening system, regeneration is performed regularly, resulting
in higher water and energy consumption during the process (see table below).
 Set the required salt consumption, depending on the local water hardness.
 The table below shows what setting is necessary for your local water hardness.
