To prevent the build up of limescale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. For this reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.

3	Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water
	in your area.
	The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness
	switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control
	panel.
