10.4. Setting salt consumption
For good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs low-lime water. Adding regeneration
salt helps to achieve the required water hardness with the aid of the softening system. To
maintain the function of the softening system, regeneration is performed regularly, resulting
in higher water and energy consumption during the process (see table below).
Set the required salt consumption, depending on the local water hardness.
The table below shows what setting is necessary for your local water hardness.
Ask your water utility about the water hardness.

* When regeneration is carried out during a program, an additional 2.2 l of water is required,
the energy consumption increases by 0.01 kWh and the program is extended by 4 minutes.
Close the appliance door.
Press the
