Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Water Softener
| To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the |
| dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this |
| reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap |
| water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid |
| of special salt. |
3 | Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water |
| in your area. |
0Adjust the water softener as stated in the table to the setting that cor- responds to the hardness of the water in your area. The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness switch and also electron- ically using the buttons on the control panel.
