Before washing for the
first time

1. Checking water hardness

In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs
soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white
coating on dishes and the dishwasher.

Water hardness is specified using the German water hardness scale
(°dH) or the French water hardness scale (°fH).

A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 4°dH (6°fH) must
be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water
softener. In order for the water softener to function optimally, it must
be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have
adjusted the water softener, use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable
for soft water.

Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.

Make a note of the water hardness:____________

If the water hardness exceeds 20°dH (36°fH), we recommend
connecting an external water softener.

WARNING!

Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the
dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting
for the water softener! See Water hardness.

Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the
water supply has a water hardness in excess of 4°dH (6°fH).
