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).
