Water quality

Water quality can have an impact on appliance performance and appliance longevity, and may not be covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
For water analysis data call your local water department. If on a well system, have well water analyzed periodically. If
water quality is exceeding one or more of the values specified below, Bosch recommends installing a water condi-
tioner or softener.
