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 7° dH (from set value

) must be softened. The water is
softened with salt (regeneration salt) in the
