OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For the first washing, buy
• regeneration salt (according to the water hardness – see below)
• dishwasher detergent
• rinse aid
Use only products designed for dishwashers.
Water softening device
Soft water is needed for effective washing, i.e. water with a low calcium content; otherwise limescale is created
on the dishes and inside the unit. Water from the mains that exceeds the given hardness level shall be softened
for use, i.e. decalcified. This is done by the regenerative salt in the softening device. The settings and necessary
volume of the salt depend on the tap water hardness.
Water hardness is marked in equivalent levels, German °dH, French °TH and mmol/l (milimol per litre – international
water hardness
unit).
The softener should be set according to the hardness of the local water. You may get the information on the
local water hardness from your local water utilities provider. Set the regulator inside the water softener container
according to the following table (Fig. 1).
