Special salt for the water softener
3
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4°d, you do not need to
add special salt.
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the
detergent that includes the special salt 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 the special salt is taken from the
detergent container only.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special 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.
1
Use only special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply
container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) or detergent.
This would destroy the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of special salt in your hand.

Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1 function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3in1 function
together with the dishwashing cycle, the inflow of special salt does not
have to be deactivated (see ”3in1 function”).
