Economy Wash
These dishwashers are extremely
water and energy saving. Note the
following hints:

This saves time and energy and
protects the dishes.
Energy costs are further reduced if

Water Softener
To prevent mineral deposits on
dishes and inside the dishwasher, the
water must first be softened, if it is
harder than 3 grains per gallon.

efficiently only if:

2, the salt container is kept full.
Exception:
If the degree of hardness m local
water is permanently under 8 grains
per gallon {140 mg/liter) with low
carbonate hardness, there is no need
to reactivate. Your local water autho¬
rity will advise you on water hardness
in your area.

After consulting your local water au¬
thority to establish water hardness in
your area, adjust the selector accord¬
ing to the tab e below, using a screw¬
driver or com.
