Water hardness
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener which you need to programme
to the water hardness level in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates,
e.g. between 3.1 - 4.5 mmol/l
(17 - 25 °d - German scale), always
programme the dishwasher to the
higher value (4.5 mmol/l in this
example).
A tick
(
will appear beside the water
hardness which has been set.
^
Select the water hardness you want,
and confirm your selection with the
middle button.
