First use
Set the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a
water softener designed to remove
minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these
minerals and salts, the harder your
water is.
Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales, Clarke degrees
(°dH), French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
The softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the
water in your area. Your local Water
Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area.
