en 6 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 . The water softener , that is the required amount of salt, is set up according to howhard the tap water is. Setting up the water softener Determine the level of hardness of your tap water . Your local water company or service agent can help you with this.

If the control is set between and , then salt must be added to the dispenser . Warning Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener . Salt refill indicator As soon as the salt refill indicator 8 is lit on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle. Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for severalmonths. Adding rinse aid The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses.Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Open the cover on the rinse-aid dispenser 29 .
