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.
If you use 3 in 1 products in your
dishwasher, you should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum...

the indicator lights will flash and light

cancelled at any time by pressing the
On/Off buttons. The procedure can
then be re-started from the beginning
again.

dishwasher salt. If you use 3 in 1
tablets in your dishwasher you

reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.

reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent always causes serious
damage to the reservoir. Only pour

prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
