3To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be
washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The water softener
must be set according to the table to the water hardness in the area where you
live. Your local water company will be able to give you information about the
water hardness in your area.
The dishwasher must be switched off.
