Note: The salt container must only be refilled when the indicator light comes
on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the indicator may light up, even
though there is salt in the container. If salt stains remain after rinsing, run a
quick or soak programme to remove the excess salt.
Water softener
Note: If your machine model is not equipped with a water softener, you can
skip this section.
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. When hard water is used
in the dishwasher, deposits form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is
equipped with a special softener that works with a salt container that removes
limescale and minerals from the water.
•
The water softener must be set manually using the water hardness indicator.
•
The water softener is used to remove minerals and salts from the water that
would adversely affect the operation of the machine.
•
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
•
The softener should be set according to the water hardness in your area. Your
local water authority can advise you on the water hardness in your area.
Setting the salt quantity
The dishwasher is designed in such a way that the amount of salt used can be
adjusted to the hardness of the water used. This is to optimise and individually
adjust salt consumption.
To adjust the salt consumption, proceed as follows.
1.
Close the door and switch on the appliance.
2.
Within 60 seconds after turning on the appliance, press the programme
button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener setting mode.
3.
Press the programme button again to select the correct setting according to
your local environment. The setting changes in the following order: H1 > H2 >
H3 > H4 > H5 > H6.
4.
If you do nothing within five seconds or press the power button to exit setting
mode, the programme will save the setting.
