Salt indicator.
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
“
8 k” indicator lamp will light, notif-
ying you that the reservoir should be re-
filled with reactivation salt.
Once filled, the dishwasher will automati-
cally reactivate the softener when
necessary. The “
8 k” indicator lamp
will light up whenever the reactivation
process is being performed.
Note:
If the water used is very soft (below 150
ppm (mg/l)), further softening is not re-
quired and the “
8 k” indicator
lamp will remain lit. It can be disre-
garded or bypassed using the follow-
ing procedure.
The “ 8 k” button has also been de-
signed for future programme updates
(PC). See the “After Sales Service” sec-
tion for further details.
