4.3 Filling of the water softener container
The water softener container is below the lower dish rack.
Only use a water softener (= dishwasher salt) which is suitable for
dishwashers. Other water softeners and salts, especially table salt, will damage
the water softener container.
The manufacturer shall not guarantee against and is not liable for any damage
caused by an unsuitable water softener.
Fill the container only shortly before you start a programme, otherwise spilled
residuals of the water softener may remain in the appliance and cause corrosion.
1. Remove the lower dish-rack and the lid of the water softener container.
2. When you fill the container for the first time, pour approx. 1 l of water into the
container.
3. Put the equipped funnel in the opening and pour approx. 1.5 kg water softener
(= dishwasher salt) into the container.
4. Close the lid carefully.
5. The control light for the hardness of water usually goes off after 2-6 days.
6. You should start a programme immediately after filling (we recommend a short
programme). Otherwise the filter system, the pump or other parts of the
appliance can be damaged due to the salt water. Such damages are not covered
by the guarantee.
Only fill the container when the water hardness indicator
The indicator may remain active until the water softener is completely
