The water hardness varies regionally. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits form on the dishes and
kitchen utensils. The appliance is equipped with a water softener, that removes lime and minerals from the
water by using water softening in the salt container. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness
of the water in your area.
