Water Hardness Atlas Code postal

Réglage de la dureté sur le lave-vaisselle : toutes les marques

Le lave-vaisselle adoucit l'eau avec du sel et une résine ; le réglage de dureté indique la fréquence de régénération. Trop bas, le calcaire reste sur les verres ; trop haut, on gaspille du sel.

Les tableaux viennent de la notice du fabricant pour la gamme indiquée sous chaque tableau. Cherchez la dureté de votre ville, puis votre marque.

Miele

Water hardness level, set in programming/commissioning menu in deg dH (G 7000-series with AutoDos)

Sur les lave-vaisselle Miele, on saisit directement la dureté (1–70 °dH) : indiquez les °dH de votre eau (°fH ÷ 1,785).

Comment le régler: At first start-up the display shows the water hardness screen: select your level and confirm with OK; later via Settings > Water hardness, select level, confirm OK. If hardness fluctuates, set the higher value (example in manual: 10-15 deg dH -> set 15).

Sel: Water softening needed above 0.9 mmol/l (5 deg dH). If water is constantly below 0.9 mmol/l (5 deg dH) no salt is needed and the salt indicator switches off when the hardness is set accordingly. Combination detergents can replace salt below 3.8 mmol/l (21 deg dH).
