en Water softener In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.
en Filling the special salt container How the salt works While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water. The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softening system is then ready for the next load. This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water. Unscrew the lid on the salt container 24 .
