Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the
dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this
reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid
of special salt.
3 Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water
in your area.
0 Adjust the water softener as stated in the table to the setting that cor-
responds to the hardness of the water in your area. The water softener
can be set manually using the water hardness switch and also electron-
ically using the buttons on the control panel.
