Before using for the first time

Water softener

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

8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be softened. This takes place automatically in the unit’s integrated water softener.

–Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

–The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.

If your water hardness is lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do not need to add dishwasher salt.

If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply.
