Water softener
For good cleaning results, the dish
-
washer needs to operate with soft wa
-
ter. Hard water results in the build up of
calcium deposits on dishes and in the
dishwasher.
If water hardness is above 4 gr/gal
(70 ppm), the water should be soft
-
ened. This takes place automatically in
the integrated water softener.
–
The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
–
The dishwasher must be pro
-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– Your water company can tell you the
highest level of water hardness in
your area.
If your tap water is consistently lower
than 4 gr/gal (= 70 ppm) do not add
dishwasher salt. However, the dish-
washer must still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness in
your area.
Where water hardness fluctuates e.g.
between 8 - 17 gr/gal (140 - 310 ppm),
always program the dishwasher to the
higher value (in this example 17 gr/gal /
310 ppm)!
If there is a fault it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
tap water.

Programming and setting the
water hardness level
The water hardness of your water sup
-
ply must be programmed into the dish
-
washer using the buttons on the control
panel.
The water hardness selector in the
wash cabinet must also be set to the
water hardness in your area.
Programming the water hardness
The programmed water hardness can
be checked and adjusted using the
buttons on the control panel. The indi
-
cators will light after each button is
pressed (n) on the control panel.
While programming, the water hardness
can be cancelled by turning off the
dishwasher with the “Off” button.
The water hardness is preset to
1 - 5 gr/gal (20 - 90 ppm).
