Adding dishwasher salt

If the salt refill indicator lights up,

add special dishwasher salt to the

softening system.

water softening system with

special dishwasher salt.

Special salt for dishwashers can

damage the tub due to corrosion.

▶

To make sure that any special

salt that escapes is washed out

of the tub, add the special salt

to the dispenser for special salt

immediately before the pro-

gram starts.

Unscrew the lid of the salt dis-

penser and remove.

Before the first use: Fill the dis-

penser full with water.
