OPERATION
Before Using the Appliance
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.
