Water softener
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
To achieve good cleaning results the
dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water results in calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above 4°d
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the unit’s integrated
water softener.
The water softener sets automatically to
the local water hardness.
If the hardness of your local water
supply is constantly lower than 4°d
(4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need to
add water softener salt.
The message to refill salt will turn off
automatically.
For best results use salt when using
3 in 1 tabs (these tabs contain
detergent, rinse aid and water softener
salt). When selecting the "3 in 1"
detergent setting, the salt dosage is
reduced to
1
/
3
-
1
/
4
of the normal
amount.
Checking the water hardness
The water hardness measured by the
sensor can be displayed.
See "Settings J - Water hardness".
External water softener
If the dishwasher is connected to an
external water softener unit which is
regenerated with salt, the water
hadness must still be set in the
dishwasher.
^ Set the dishwasher to the water
hardness of the external water
softener. If you don't know the value,
set the dishwasher water hardness to
8°d (8 gr/gal [US]). See Settings J,
External water softener.
