Adding Special Salt To The Water Softener - Husqvarna CARDINAL 5120 User Instructions

Adding special salt to the water softener

If the water hardness in your area is less
3
than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher
does not need to be softened and you do not
need to use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two
ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already
contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put
into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually
be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure
that no special salt is added.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt
separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt
supply container.
– In this case the water softener must manually
be set to 0 and electronically to between 2 and
10 (depending on the water hardness in your
area) to ensure that the special salt is taken
from the detergent container only.
Use only special salt intended for dishwash-
1
ers. Never fill the salt supply container with
different types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) or
detergent. This would destroy the water sof-
tener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each
time that you really do have a packet of spe-
cial salt in your hand.
Setting the amount of special salt to be
added
Some appliances are equipped with an addi-
3
tional 3 in 1 function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and
select the 3 in 1 function together with the
dishwashing cycle, the inflow of special salt
does not have to be deactivated (see "3 in 1
function").
Set the water softener manually and electronically to
the desired water hardness:
