Hard water leaves limescale on the
tableware as well as the washing
tank and parts of the appliance may
become blocked.
To ensure good dishwashing results,
you can treat the water with special
salt and the water softening system.
To avoid damage to the appliance,
water with a hardness above 9 °E
must be softened.
