What it is
Bosch says that, to help prevent limescale (E12), you should use softening salt if the dishwasher has a water softener function.
How to choose
- Use salt made for dishwashers (not table salt) in the amount your manual specifies.
- Only machines with a water softener have a salt compartment.
How to use it
- Refill the salt compartment as your manual shows.
