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 1 , then release the buttons. The display 5 flashes and buttons A and B illuminate. (Hardness value 2 was set at the factory). Water hardness table 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 1 . 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. dh fH Clarke mmol/ l A B Reset C 0–6 0–11 0–8 0–1,1 0 7–16 12–29 9–20 1,2–2,9 1 17–21 30–37 21–26 3,0–3,7 2 22–35 38–60 27–44 3,8–6,2 3 en Filling in the Salt Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 24 .
