Water softening system
To ensure good washing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
containing low amounts of lime, otherwise
white limescale will be deposited on the
utensils and inner container.
Tap water above 7° dH (from set value
•:‹‚) must be softened. The water is
softened with salt (regeneration salt) in the
water softening system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt depends on the degree of
hardness of your tap water (see table).
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be set
from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.
Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.
– Find out about the hardness value of
your tap water. Your water utility
company will help you with this.
– Set value can be found in the water
hardness table.
– Close the door.
–Switch on ON/OFF switch(.

button 8.
