Using Your Dishwasher
If the water hardness at your location is over 60°dH, you should
consider using a water-softening device for your dishwasher.
When using well or rain water, the installation of pre-filter is
recommended.
After moving house, remember to reset the water hardness for your
new location.
°dH: German degree 1 °dH = 1 mg CaO/100 ml Water = 0.179 mmol
Use the on/off button to turn the dishwasher on. Turn the programme selection knob until the
multifunction display shows the Settings programme. Press the programme button to access the
Settings menu. Now use the programme selector knob to select the Water hardness programme
and use the programme button to access the menu. The multifunction display now shows "Water
hardness: 3"; this is the factory setting. To select another water hardness setting, turn the programme
selection knob until the desired setting appears. Press the programme button to save your desired
water hardness setting. Your desired degree of water hardness has now been set. Press the Time
Delay button once to return to the "Settings" programme. If you do not want to make any more
settings, use the Time Delay button to return to the main programme selection menu.

Softening the water
Dishwashers require fairly soft water. If the hardness exceeds 6°dH lime scale will form on crockery.
To avoid this an automatic system adds a special salt to soften the water so that you obtain the
best possible cleaning and drying performance.
To find out the hardness level of your water contact your local water company, or use the enclosed
test strip to measure the water hardness:
Turn on the tap and
let the water run for
about a minute.
Hold the test strip in
the water for about a
second.
Remove the test strip
from the water and
shake it.
Wait for 1 minute.
The test strip shows
you the hardness
level.
