WATER HARDNESS & REGENERATION SETTINGS

The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on your dishes. 

Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove the hardness of the tap 

water. Setting this system correctly will increase the washing effectiveness.

To find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or 

Determine water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.

If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly 

be different. It is essential to reset the water hardness in order to obtain 

optimum washing efficiency.

Test Strip

Let the water

flow from your

tap for 1 minute.

Remove the

test strip from

its packing.

 Fill a glass with

tap water and

dip the test strip

into water for 1

second.

Take the test strip

out of the water and

shake it.

Hold for

1 minute.

Set the water hardness level of your dishwasher

according to the result shown by the test strip.
