Water softening system
To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher
requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of
lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on
the utensils and inner container.
Tap water above 9° Clarke must be softened. The
water is softened with salt (regeneration salt) in the
water softening system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required amount of salt
depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water
(see table).
