- Water softening system/Special salt
- To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.
- Tap water above a specific degree of water hardness must be softened, i.e. descaled, for use in a dishwasher. Water is softened with special salt in the water softening system of the dishwasher.
- The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).
- Setting
- The amount of salt dispensed can be set in 4 stages depending on the hardness of your water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see table). Factory setting: 1.
- 1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
