Water hardness & regeneration settings
The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on your dishes. Your
dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove the hardness of the tap water.
Setting this system correctly will increase the washing effectiveness.
To find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or
determine water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.
If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly be different.
It is essential to reset the water hardness in order to obtain optimum washing efficiency.
Test Strip
Let the water
flow from your
tap for 1 minute.
Remove the
test strip from
its packing.
Fill a glass with
tap water and
dip the test strip
into water for 1
second.
Take the test strip
out of the water and
shake it.
Hold for
1 minute.
Set the water hardness level of your dishwasher
according to the result shown by the test strip.
