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.
Filling in the salt Filling with rinse aid If the hardness of your mains water corresponds to the (see chapter “Setting up the device’s index value softening system”), you do not need to fill in the salt because the operation will not use any salt. If the set values to are displayed, salt must be added. Rinse aid is used in washing mode to ensure that glasses are sparkling and utensils are stain-free. When the appliance is switched on, low rinse aid level is indicated by ”Refill rinse aid”.
