Softener Adjustment 

The efficiency of your dishwasher 

depends on the softness of the tap 

water. 

To ensure best efficiency, the 

dishwasher is equipped with a system 

that reduces the hardness in the mains 

water supply. The efficiency will increase 

when the system is correctly set. To find 

out the water hardness level of your 

water supply you can use the test strip 

supplied or alternatively contact your 

local water board. 

 

 

Open the testing strip (figure 5). 

 

Run water through the tap for one 

minute. 

 

Hold the testing strip in water for 

one second. 

 

Remove from the water and 

shake the test strip to remove 

excess water. 

 

Wait for one minute. 

 

Check the number of marks on 

the strip to see the level of water 

hardness. 

 

If the hardness of the water you use is 

above 63 dE or if you are using well 

water; you are recommended to contact 

your local water board to confirm the 

water hardness level and to use filter and 

water refinement devices. 

 

 

Please note: The level of water
