Page 14

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 cookware and in the dishwasher.

Water with a hardness level higher than 4 gr/gal (4° d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.

–The water softener requires dishwasher reactivation salt.

–The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.

–Your local water authority can advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 8 - 18 gr/gal (8 - 17 °d German scale) always program the dishwasher to the higher value (17°d in this example).

If the water in your area is very soft and consistently lower than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) you do not need to add dishwasher salt. The salt indicator, however, will still come on, but should be ignored.

Local water hardness:

gr/gal or °d

The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 20 gr/gal (19 °d).

If this setting corresponds with the hardness of your water, continue with "Rinse aid".

If your water is harder or softer, you will need to program the water hardness level using the buttons on the control panel.

The programming can be canceled at any time by pressing the "On/Off" button. The procedure can then be restarted.

Checking the programmed water hardness level

￿Turn the dishwasher off with the "On/Off" button.

￿Press and hold the "Extra drying" and "Start / Stop" buttons in and turn the dishwasher on with the "On/Off" button.

￿Release the buttons.

The hardness level set will flash in the display.

The digit sequence after the a indicates the hardness level set in °d.

￿Turn the dishwasher off with the "On/Off" button.
