We recommend using soft water for better results. Hard water contains impurities that can
reduce the washing performance. You will need to soften the water if the supplied water
is harder than 1.0 mmol/L (6 °d – German scale).
• To soften the water, you need dishwasher-specific salt and configuration of the water
hardness level according to your area. For more information about the water hardness
level in your area, contact your local water department.
• If the hardness level of the supplied water supply is unsteady, set the dishwasher to
the highest measurement. For example, if the water hardness reading ranges from
6.7 mmol/L to 9.0 mmol/L, set the dishwasher to 9.0 mmol/L.
• The dishwasher's default water hardness level is 3 (4.0-5.5 mmol/L). If this setting
matches the water hardness level in your area, you do not need to change it.
To cancel your changes
To cancel any of the settings during the process, press POWER to turn the dishwasher off.
Then, try again.
