Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e.
low lime content water. For this reason the dish-
washer is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is
softened with the aid of special salt.

Your local water authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in the area where
you live.
The water softener can be set manually using the
water hardness switch; it can also be set electroni-
cally using the buttons on the control panel.
Adjust the water softener to the setting given in the
table that corresponds to the hardness of the water in
the area where you live.

It is only possible to adjust the water hard-
ness setting when there is no programme
