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 degrees) is
softened with the aid of special salt.

Your local water authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener has 4 settings.
Adjust the water softener in accordance with the table
to suit your area:
1. Open the door on the dishwasher.
2. Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher.
3. Adjust the water hardness switch with, e.g. a coin.
