Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft (low limescale) water.
Hard water results in the build-up of
calcium deposits on crockery and in the
appliance.
Water with a hardness level higher than
0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must
be softened. This occurs automatically
in the integrated water softener. The
water softener is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l
(70 °dH - German scale).
In order to maintain the functioning of
the water softener, it must be
reactivated regularly. Reactivation
occurs automatically in every ninth
programme sequence. At the start of
the next programme, an additional 4.4 l
of water is required for this process.
Energy consumption increases by
0.015 kWh and the programme is
extended by 3 minutes.
The above only applies to the ECO
programme at a water hardness of
2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH – German scale). For
other programmes and water hardness
levels, the frequency of reactivation will
differ.
