WATER SOFTENER SETTING:
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To
find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use a test strip (if available).
NOTE: The level is set to 3 as default. If the water is
well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we
recommend that you use filter and refinement devices.
