system / special salt
Wat er sof t ening syst em/special sal t
To ensure good rinsing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
water which is low in lime, otherwise
limescale will be deposited on the
utensils and interior container. Tap
water above 7° dH (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 following water
hardness table).
