Adjusting the water softener
To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft i.e. water
with low lime content.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tap-
water which is harder then 4 °d (german degree) is descaled
with special salt.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the
water hardness level for your area.
