Water softening system/Special salt
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 1.2 mmol/l must be
softened. The water is softened with
special 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
•:‹‹.
1. Find out about the hardness value of
your tap water. Your water utility
company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water
hardness table.
3. Close the door.
