hardening system
Hard, calcareous water leaves
limescale residues on the dishes and
the rinse aid container and can clog
parts of the appliance. For good
washing results, you can soften water
with the water softener and softening
salt. To avoid damage to the device,
water with a hardness of more than 7
°dH must be softened.
We recommend that you use the
appliance without any crockery
before using it for the first time due
to possible water stains and other
residues.
Overview of the water hardness settings
Here you will find an overview of the adjustable water hardness values.
You can request the water hardness from your local water company or determine it
with a water hardness tester.
