OPERATION

Before Using the Appliance

This model has a water softener to soften hard water.

Checking Water Hardness Level

Check the water hardness in your area. The water utility company can help you with this.

NOTE

• The appliance can be used without dishwasher salt if not required, however, the hardness level needs to be set to H0 so that the icon does not remain lit.

• In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the appliance requires soft water, i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and inside the appliance.

• If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e., decalcified. This is achieved by adding dishwasher salt to the water softener inside the appliance. The required amount of the salt is set up according to how hard tap water is.

Set the softening system level of the

appliance according to the water hardness level.
