External water softening
system
If your dishwasher is connected to an
external water softening system which
uses salt to reactivate, you will still need
to programme the dishwasher to the
correct water hardness level to achieve
good cleaning results.
Set the water softener unit of the
dishwasher to the water hardness level
of the water which is supplied from the
external water softening system. If you
do not know what this is, set the
dishwasher for 8°d (1.4 mmol/l).
