Adjust the Water Softener

To avoid the scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the
dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content, water. The dish-
washer therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water from
a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special
salt.
You water supplier will be able to inform you on the hardness and
3
hardness range of the water in your area.
0 Adjust the water softener to the setting that corresponds to the hard-
ness of the water in your area. The water softener can be adjusted in
10 steps.
