Set 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 hard-
ness is measured in equivalent scales, Ger-
man degrees (dH°), French degrees (°TH)
and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
