Adjusting the water softener
To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher,

is harder then 4°d (german degree) is descaled with special salt.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the water
hardness level for your area. Contact your local Water Authority to find
the exact water hardness level for your area.
The water softener has 5 settings:
