HOW TO FILL THE SALT CONTAINER

Check the water hardness level in your area.

Consult your local Water Board or check your last water bill.

•Set the water hardness by turning the selector (if fitted) inside the door (top left) with a screwdriver. Use the table below to set the dial to the required setting.

	Selector		German		French
		Water hardness	degrees		degrees
	setting
			°dH		°fH
	0	1 soft	0	- 5	0	- 9
	1	1 - 2 medium	6 - 10		10	- 18
	2	2 medium	11	- 15	19	- 27
	3	3 medium-hard	16	- 21	28	- 37
	4	4 hard	22	- 28	38	- 50
	5	4 very hard	29	- 35	51	- 63
	6	4 extremely hard	36	- 60	64 - 107

If the water hardness level falls within category 1 (soft), no salt is required.

•If the water hardness level exceeds category 1-2 (medium), before using the dishwasher for the first time, fill the salt container and run a wash cycle so that any excess saline solution discharged is immediately removed by the water to prevent corrosion. The pre-rinse cycle is not sufficient for this purpose.

•Check the salt level regularly.

•Important: Only use regeneration salts recommended for use in domestic dishwashers.

Do not fill the salt container with detergent as this will cause irreparable damage to the water softener system.

To fill the salt container:

1.Remove the lower rack.

2.Unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.

3.If the dishwasher is new, fill the salt container to the rim with water.

4.Fill the container to the rim with salt (max. 2 kg) and stir with a spoon handle.

5.Screw the cap back on by turning it clockwise.

Salt level indicator

The dishwasher is equipped with an electric or visual salt level indicator depending on the model installed.

Electric indicator:

The salt level indicator lamp on the control panel illuminates when the salt container is empty.

Visual indicator:

The red float is clearly visible in the cap window when the salt container is full. The red float lowers and is no longer visible when the salt container is empty.
