To ensure good washing results,
the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
containing low amounts of lime,
otherwise white limescale will be
deposited on the utensils and inner
container.
Tap water above a specific
degree of water hardness must be
softened, i.e. descaled,
for use in a dishwasher. Water
is softened with special salt in the water
softening system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt
depends on the degree of hardness of
your tap water (see table).

set in 4 stages
depending on the hardness of your
water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays
