Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft (low limescale) water.
Hard water results in the build-up of
calcium deposits on crockery and in the
appliance.
Water with a hardness level higher than
0.9mmol/l (5°dH – German scale) must
be softened. This occurs automatically
in the integrated water softener. The
water softener is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.5mmol/l
(70°dH - German scale).
The water softener requires reactivation
salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(<3.8mmol/l, or <21°dH – German
scale), dishwasher salt is not required if
combination detergents are being used
(see “Detergents - Types of
detergents”).
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.9mmol/l
(5 °dH - German scale) you do not
need to add dishwasher salt. The salt
refill indicator will automatically switch
off after the water hardness has been
set accordingly (see “Settings - Water
hardness”).
 Damage to the water softener
from detergents.
Dishwasher detergents will damage
the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
 Damage caused by using
unsuitable salts.
Other types of salt (such as cooking
salt, rock salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt) may contain insoluble
components which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt or other pure
evaporated salts for reactivation.
If you only ever use combination
detergent products in your
dishwasher, you can switch off both
refill reminders if you wish (see
“Settings - Refill reminders”).
Please make sure that if you stop
using combination detergents, you
refill the dishwasher salt and rinse
aid. Switch the refill reminders back
on if required.
