Water softener
• The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
• The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically
designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on
the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt
consumption. The dishwasher must be adjusted to the water hardness in your area (contact your
local water board for information). This will affect the consumption of dishwasher salt consumed.
The factory setting is H3.

1) Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 4.0 litres of water, the energy
consumption increases by 0.06 kWh and the program extents by 10 minutes.
To adjust the water softener setting follow the steps below:
1. Close the door and switch on the appliance;
2. Press the program button for more than 5 seconds to open the water softener settings
mode within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;
3. Press the program button again (several times) to select the correct setting according to
your local environment. The settings will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->H3-
>H4->H5->H6;
4. Press the On/Off button to confirm the setting and to end the setting mode.

Adding salt
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the container
3. Fill the salt reservoir with about 1.5 kg of salt.
4. Add water until the reservoir is full; water may flow out.
5. After filling the container, put back the cap (tighten firmly).
6. The salt warning light will go off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
7. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be
started (we suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other
important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.
Note! The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control
panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may
still be on even though the salt container is filled. If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick
program to remove it.
