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
(8 gr/gal [140 ppm]), 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 supply
is constantly lower than 4°d (8 gr/gal
[140 ppm]), you do not need to add
water softener salt.
The "Insufficient salt" message 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
to
1
/
4
.
