Setting up the water
softener
In order to provide satisfactory rinsing
results, the dishwasher requires soft water,
i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise
water stains will be left behind on the
dishes and interior containers.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e.,
decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt
to the water softener inside the
dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how
hard the tap water is.
The softening system is only capable to
accept a limited amount of lime. If this
limit is reached the system must be
regenerated or refreshed using salt.
The factory setting “Hardness-Auto” allows
the deposit sensor to determine the
hardness and to control the softening
system automatically. This means that
changes to the settings are unnecessary
during start-up or in case of changes in
the water hardness.
If you would nevertheless like to set
the water softening system manually,
proceed as follows:
Find out the degree of hardness of your
tap water. Your water supply company
or customer service will assist you.
Switch on the appliance with the main
switch 1 . The main menu is
displayed (if switching on the appliance
for the first time, only when a language
has been selected and dispensers
have been filled with salt (if required)
and rinse aid).
Press the button M/OK 2 until
“Hardness-Auto” is displayed.
Using the buttons – or + 3 , select the
setting corresponding to the hardness
of your mains water. The factory setting
is “Hardness-Auto”.
Press the button M/OK 2 to store the
setting and return to the Main Menu.
If the setting is “0” the softening system is
switched off. Possible lack of salt will not
be indicated.
