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!
Please only use special coarse
grained dishwasher salt for
reactivation, as other salts may contain
insoluble additives which can impair
the functioning of the softener.
In an appliance with a cutlery
basket (depending on model)
cutlery is cleaned and dried more
efficiently if placed in the basket with
the handles downwards. However, to
avoid the risk of injury, place knives and
forks etc. with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot
withstand being washed in hot
water, such as disposable plastic
containers, or plastic cutlery and
crockery should not be cleaned in the
dishwasher. The high temperatures in
the dishwasher may cause them to melt
or lose shape.
On models with "Delay start", make
sure that the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary.
Detergent will clog if poured into a damp
dispenser and may not be thoroughly
dispersed.
