Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity.

Water softener To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water that is low in minerals). Hard water results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should be softened.
Programming the water softener During programming, other indicator lights flash and light up each time you press a button.
