WATER HARDNESS, SALT, RINSE-AID AND DETERGENT
USING THE APPLIANCE - A FEW PRACTICAL TIPS
DISHWASHWER
To find out the water hardness:
Place the strip in a glass of water
for one second, and then take it
out.
Shake it and wait for one minute.
The strip will show the water

If no salt needs to be added to your dishwasher, go straight on to the "rinse aid" section.
Water hardness adjustment. Water contains scale. The more scale, the harder the
water. To prevent the scale in the water from damaging the dishwasher, it is equipped
with a descaler to reduce the scale and leave it perfectly clean for washing. The descaler
uses salt to function.
