Reactivation salt
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in a build-up of calcium deposits
on dishware and in the dishwasher.
Domestic water with a hardness level
higher than 5 gr/gal (5 °dH) must be
softened. This occurs automatically in
the integrated water softener. The water
softener is suitable for a water hardness
level of up to 73 gr/gal (70 °dH).
In order to be reactivated, the water
softener requires reactivation salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 22 gr/gal, or < 21 °dH), reactivation
salt may not be required if combination
detergents are being used (see "Active
ingredients" under "Detergents").
Initial commissioning
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 5 gr/gal
(5 °dH), you do not need to add
reactivation salt. The salt refill
indicator will automatically turn off
after the water hardness has been set
accordingly (see "Water hardness"
under "Settings").
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 in your
dishwasher, you can turn off both refill
reminders if you wish (see "Refill
reminders" under "Settings").
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.
