– If your household water system is

by solar panels, for example, this
would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by

In order to achieve good cleaning re‐

build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐
ery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level high‐
er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70
°d - German scale).

washer salt.

However, if you have a different water

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on

ervoir and the amount set is dispensed
automatically.
