Water softener

Every dishwasher is tested beforeleaving the factory. Any waterremaining in the machine is from thefinal factory test and does notindicate that the machine has beenused.

To achieve good cleaning results thedishwasher needs soft water. Hardwater results in calcium deposits ondishware and in the dishwasher.If your tap water hardness is above 4°d(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should besoftened. This takes placeautomatically in the unit’s integratedwater softener.

The water softener sets automatically tothe local water hardness.

If the hardness of your local watersupply is constantly lower than 4°d(4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need toadd water softener salt.The message to refill salt will turn offautomatically.
