Special salt
You can use special salt to soften
water.
Adding special salt
If the special salt refill indicator lights
up, add special salt to the dispenser
for special salt just before the pro-
gramme starts. The consumption of
special salt depends on the water
hardness. The higher the water hard-
ness, the greater the consumption of
special salt.

softening system.
Only fill the dispenser of the wa-
▶
ter 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
