Adjusting the water softener
To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft i.e. water
with low lime content.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tap-
water which is harder then 4 °d (german degree) is descaled
with special salt.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the
water hardness level for your area.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the
exact water hardness level for your area.
The water softener has 5 settings:
1) german degree of measurement for the water hardness
2) millimol, internationel unit for water hardness
*) factory setting
In both of the following settings the dishwasher must be switched off and all programmes completed.
See chapter ”Using the appliance” how to complete the programme.
