Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener.
–
The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the
water hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always programme the
dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the
hardness of your local water supply.
