The presence of lime in tap water causes water stains due to calcium deposits on crockery and glasses. A water softening system has been built in the dishwasher to ensure a steady supply of soft water. This is basically a decalcifying system, which needs to be regenerated regularly using special dishwasher salt. Setting the correct water hardness level: Set the water hardness level by turning the selector fitted on the left-hand side of the inner appliance wall by using a coin. Use the table below to set the dial to the correct setting: Water hardness category 1 2 3 4 German degrees °dH 0-6 7 - 13 14 - 20 21 - 35 French degrees °fH 0 - 11 12 - 23 24 - 36 37 - 63 Position of the selector 0 1 2 3 If the water hardness level falls within category 1 (soft), no salt is required. To find out the waterhardness level of water in your area contact your local Water Board or check the last bill you received. If provided, a simple test can be employed to set the hardness level using the hardness test strip. • Dip the test strip into a glass of water from the tap. • Wait for 3 seconds, withdraw the strip from the water. • If all the three test squares are still green, set the hardness selector to 0, and disregard all instructions about salt usage. • If one of the test squares becomes red, set the selector to 1. • If two of the test squares become red, set the selector to 2.
