To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e.
low lime content water. For this reason the dish-
washer is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degrees) is
softened with the aid of special salt.

Your local water authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener has 4 settings.
Adjust the water softener in accordance with the table
to suit your area:
1.
Open the door on the dishwasher.
2.
Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher.
3.
Adjust the water hardness switch with, e.g. a coin.
