Before washing for the first time Water hardness In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Checking water hardness Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
Before washing for the first time WARNING! Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness. Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l).
