Water hardness

Before using for the first time

Water hardness

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 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be softened.

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

–The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to the water hardness 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]).

It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the service technician with this information in the event of any service calls.

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

Please note your water hardness below:

°d (gr/gal)

The water hardness factory setting is 15°d (16 gr/gal).

If this setting matches your water hardness you need not read any further.

However, if you have a different water hardness you must adjust the water softener to match your water hardness.
