The importance of water decalcification
For a good washing function, the dishwasher
needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Other-
wise, white lime residues will remain on the
dishes and the interior equipment. This will ne-
gatively affect your machine’s washing, drying
and shining performance. When water flows
through the softener system, the ions forming
the hardness are removed from the water
and the water reaches the softness required
to obtain the best washing result. Depending
on the level of hardness of the inflowing water,
these ions that harden the water accumulate
rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore,
the softener system has to be refreshed so
that it operates with the same performance
also during the next wash. For this purpose,
dishwasher salt is used.
Preparing the machine for use
Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
To put softener salt, first remove the lower basket and then
open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise.
1 2 At first fill the compartment with 2kg salt and water 3
at overflowing level If available,using the funnel 4 provided will
make filling easier. refit the cap and close it.If the salt warning
lamp on the control panel becomes on fill the salt compartment
with salt again.Fill the salt compartment with water at first use
only. If you put a tablet into the salt compartment, do not fill the
compartment completely. We recommend that you use small-
grained or powder softener salt. Do not put table salt into your
machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener compartment
may decrease over time. When you start your dishwasher, the
salt compartment gets filled with water. Therefore, put the sof-
tener salt prior to starting your machine.
This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are not
going to wash any dishes immediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program with
an empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent corrosion ) to your machine due to
the salt overflow while filling in the salt container.
