PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

The importance of water decalcification

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white
lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your
machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system,
the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness
required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water,
these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the
softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the
next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
