min. 1.5 kg / max. 2 kg 

Water hardness level is 
factory set for medium-hard 
water (level 4).

Even if you use tablets which 
include salt, you must still add 
regeneration salt since such 
detergents are not effective 
enough at softening hard 
water.

Screw on the cap. 
Salt residual  
around the cap 
need to be 
removed. Some 
salt reservoir have 
a level indicator 
integrated in the 
cap (see below 
how to check).

At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 “Daily check”).
