Water softening system
To ensure good washing results,
the dishwasher requires soft water,
i.e. containing low amounts of lime,
otherwise white limescale will be
deposited on the utensils and inner
container.
Tap water above a specific degree of
water hardness must be softened,
i.e. descaled, for use in a dishwasher.
Water is softened with special salt in the
water softening system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt depends on the degree
of hardness of your tap water (see table).
Set
The amount of salt dispensed can be set
in 4 stages depending on the hardness
of your water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or
3 displays are lit (see table).
Factory setting: 1.
Find out about the hardness value
of your tap water. Your water supply
company or customer service will assist
you.
Setting can be found in the water
hardness table.
