Water hardness

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener that needs to be programmed to the water hardness level in your area.

–The dishwasher must be correctly programmed to match the hardness of your water.

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

–In areas where the water hardness fluctuates (e. g. 37 - 50 °d

[39 - 52 gr/gal]) always program the machine to the higher value (in this example 50 °d [52 gr/gal]).

A check will appear beside the water hardness which has been set.

Select the hardness of your water supply and confirm with the center button.
