Water softening system / special salt

Water softening system / special salt

To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher. The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see following water hardness table).

Adjusting the water softening system

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from 0 to 62°E. Salt is not required at the set value 0-8.
Set the softening system as follows:
1. Ask your local water utility company for the water
hardness value of the tap water.
2. Required setting can be found in the water hardness
table.
3. Open the door.
4. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.

Rinse aid en

Using special salt

As soon as the low salt indicator P is lit on the control panel or is requested on the front display * ):, salt should be topped up. Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.
Caution!
Detergent will destroy the water softening system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.
Top up the salt as follows:
1. Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 1b.
2. Fill the dispenser with water (required only when
switching on the appliance for the first time).
3. Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid

As soon as the low rinse-aid indicator H is lit on the
control panel or is requested on the front display * ):, rinse-aid should be topped up. The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse-aid must be used.
* depending on the features of your dishwasher

Top up the rinse-aid as follows:

1. Open dispenser 92; press lug on the lid (1) and lift
(2).
* depending on the features of your dishwasher

Using detergents with salt component

Detergent with a salt component
If combined detergents with a salt component are used, special salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke,
3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, salt must be used.

Switching off low salt indicator / water softening system

Switching off water softening system
If the use of combined detergents with a salt
component impairs the low salt indicator P on the control panel or the text on the display window at the top @ (enough salt for x rinse cycles), the displays can be switched off.
2. Add rinse-aid up to the max. mark.
PD[
3. Close the lid.
Lid “clicks” into position.
4. Remove overflowed rinse aid with a cloth.
This prevents excessive frothing during the next rinse cycle.
Proceed as described under “Setting water softening system” and set the value to 0-8. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.
