Water softening system / special salt

Using special salt

As soon as the low salt indicator P lights up on the
digital display, salt should be topped off. Refilling the
salt dispenser should be done before switching on the
appliance. This ensures that extra salt water is washed
out and will not corrode the rinsing tank.
NOTICE: Detergent will destroy the water softening
system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.
Top off the salt as follows:
1. Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 1R.
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.
