Water softener

In order to rinse dishes and glasses

satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft

water, i.e. containing little or no lime,

otherwise water stains will be left behind

on crockery and glasses, etc.

If the tap water exceeds a certain level of

hardness, it must be softened, i.e.

decalcified, so that it can be used in the

dishwasher.

This is achieved by adding a special salt

to the water softener inside the

dishwasher.

The water softener, that is the required

amount of salt, is set up according to how

hard the tap water is.

Setting up the water softener

Determine the level of hardness of your

tap water. Your local water company or

service agent can help you with this.

Identify setting from the following water

hardness table.

Hold down the programme button B

and switch on the main switch

then release the buttons.

The display

A and B illuminate.

(Hardness value 2 was set at the

factory).

To change the setting: Press

programme button B .

Each depression of the button

increases the set value by one (0–3).

If buttons A , B and C illuminate,

the maximum hardness value has been

reached.

If the hardness value is now increased

again, the illuminated buttons go out

and the hardness value is set to 0 (no

buttons illuminated).

Switch off the mains switch

The set value is stored in the appliance.

Approx. 4 litres of water are required for

regenerating the water softening system.

The overall water consumption per load

can therefore be increased by between 0

and a maximum of 4 litres according to the

water hardness setting.
