Adjusting the water softener
To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tap- water which is harder than 4 °d (german degree) is softened.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the water hardness level for your area.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area.
The water softener has 10 settings:

1)german degree of measurement for the water hardness
2)millimol, internationel unit for water hardness *) factory setting
In the following settings the dishwasher must be switched off and all programmes completed. See chapter ”Using the appliance” for information on how to complete the programme.
1.Press the start button and hold it pressed in.
2.Turn the programme selector clockwise to the first programme. When the indicator for the start button and for the ended programme cycle starts to flash, you can release the start button.
-The number of flashes for the ended programme cycle are equivalent to the set water hardness level.
-This sequence of flashes is repeated several times after a few seconds pause.
3.The water hardness level is raised by 1 step every time you press the start button.
After hardness level 10 comes hardness level 1.
4.Turn the programme selector to the ”Reset” position when the required water hardness level is selected. This saves the required setting.
If the setting 1 is chosen, the salt indicator lamp is not lit.
