Before Using the Appliance
This model has a water softener to soften hard
water.
NOTE
• The appliance can be used without appliance
salt if not required, however, the hardness
level needs to be set to H00 so that the icon
does not remain lit.
• In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results,
the appliance requires soft water, i.e.,
containing little or no lime, otherwise water
stains will be left behind on the dishes and
inside the appliance.
• If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e., decalcified.
This is achieved by adding appliance salt to
the water softener inside the appliance. The
required amount of the salt is set up according
to how hard tap water is.
Checking Water Hardness Level

1
Check the water hardness in your area. The
water utility company can help you with this.
2
Set the softening system level of the
appliance according to the water hardness
level.
Method 2
You can check water hardness by using the test
strip included in the product.
1
Immerse all reaction zones of the test strip
for about a second. Do not in running water.
2
Shake off excess liquid from the strip and
wait for 1 minute.
