Setting up the water softener

In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e., containing little or
no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on
the dishes and interior containers.
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.
The softening system must be adjusted before the
appliance is used for the first time or if the water
hardness changes.

Determine the degree of hardness of your tap water.
Your water utilities company or customer service will
advise you.
