your area. If not, adjust the water softener.

the water hardness in your area.

Do not use detergent and do not load the

If you use the combi detergent tablets, ac-
tivate the multitab function. These tablets
contain detergent, rinse aid and other added
agents. Be sure that these tablets are applica-
ble to the water hardness in your area. Refer to
the instructions on the packaging of the prod-
ucts.
Adjusting the water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of minerals
that can cause damage to the appliance and
bad washing results. The water softener neu-
tralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener
clean and in good conditions. Refer to the table
to adjust the water softener to the right level. It
makes sure that the water softener uses the
correct quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
You must adjust the water softener man-
ually and electronically.
