Before using for the first time
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.
– The water softener requires dishwasher salt.
– The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 6.7 - 9.0 mmol/l (37 -
50 °d German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (9.0 mmol/l in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hardness of your local water supply.
^ Enter the water hardness below:
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of 2.7 mmol/l (15 °d).
If this setting corresponds to the hardness of your water you do not need to do anything more.
If your water is harder or softer, you will need to programme the water hardness level. See following section.
