Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a det- rimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH)
