Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of limescale on dishes and in the dishwasher,
the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For
this reason the dishwasher 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 electronically using the buttons on the control
panel.
