The water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a
water softener designed to remove
minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these
minerals and salts, the harder your
water is.
Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales, German degrees
(°dH), French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in
your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
‘Level 2’ displayed means that the
water hardness sensor is active.
The dishwasher is equipped with a
sensor that measures automatically
the water hardness with a range from
4°dH (7°TH) to 50°dH (90°TH);
therefore there is no need to adjust
the water softener.
Only in the following cases it is
necessary to set manually the water
hardness level:
● Hardness of water supply below
4°dH (7°TH) no salt required;
set level 1.
● Hardness of water supply above
50°dH (90°TH):
set level 10.
