OPERATION
Before Using
This model has a water softener to soften hard
water.
NOTE
• The appliance can be used without dishwasher
salt if not required, however, the hardness level
needs to be set to H0 so that the icon does not
remain lit.
• In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results,
the appliance requires soft water, i.e., containing
little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be
left behind on the dishes and inside the
appliance.
• If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e., decalcified.
This is achieved by adding dishwasher salt to the
water softener inside the appliance. The
required amount of the salt is set up according
to how hard tap water is.
