Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals
and salts from the water supply, which
would have a detrimental or adverse ef-
fect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals
and salts, the harder your water is. Water
hardness is measured in equivalent
scales, German degrees (°dH), French
degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per
litre - international unit for the hardness
of water).
