Adjust the Water Softener

 

To avoid the scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the

 

dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content, water. The dish-

 

washer therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water from

 

a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special

 

salt.
