water results in calcium deposits ondishware and in the dishwasher.If your tap water hardness is above8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons)(!40 ppm), the water should besoftened. This takes placeautomatically in the unit's integratedwater softener.

- Your local water authority will be ableto advise you of the water hardnesslevel in your area_

- The dishwasher must beprogrammed to correspond to thewater hardness in your area.

- The water softener must be filled withdishwasher salt for reactivation.

If your water hardness is consistentlylower than 8 gr/ga! (!40 ppm), you donot need to add dishwasher salt.However, the dishwasher must still beprogrammed to correspond to the localwater hardness.

Where the water hardness fluctuates

e.g. between 9- 17 gr/ga! (!60- 3!0ppm), always program the machine tothe higher value, 17 gr/ga! (310 ppm)inthis example.

If there is a fault, it will help the servicetechnician to know the hardness of yourlocal water supply.

"Top SoJo" (_)

Using "Top Solo" will save water andenergy.

This program is recommended whenthere is only a small load to clean. "TopSolo" can be selected with all

programs.

With this feature, water is directed onlyto the top and middle spray arms. Thismeans that the water jets are onlyaimed at items in the upper basket andthe cutlery tray.

The middle spray arm also directswater downwards, so lightly soiledplates or platters can be placed in thelower basket.

When using this program, do not placebowls or other hollow containers in thelower basket.

Because a smaller load is beingwashed the amount of detergent usedcan be reduced to 1 1/4tablespoons(20 ml).
