- + Water softening system/Special salt9
- Water softening system/Special salt9
- To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.9
- Tap water above 1.2 mmol/l must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.9
- The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).9
- Setting9
- The amount of salt dispensed can be set from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.9
- Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.9
- 1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.9
- 2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.9
- 3. Close the door.9
- 4. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.9
- 5. Hold down programme button # and press START button P until •:‹.... is indicated on the digital display.9
