Bosch SMS40C12GB Instruction Manual

To ensure good washing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
containing low amounts of lime, otherwise
white limescale will be deposited on the
utensils and inner container.
Tap water above 9° Clarke must be
softened. The water is softened with salt
(regeneration salt) in the water softening
system of the dishwasher.
