5 How to use
Water hardness & regeneration settings
The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on your
dishes. Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove the
hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will increase the washing
effectiveness.
To ¿nd out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water
Board or determine water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.
If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly
be different. It is essential to reset the water hardness in order to obtain
optimum washing efficiency.
