Setting the water hardness range
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French degrees and PPM
(parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.
You may change the factory level setting by means of the wash programme selector
push buttons. Each button corresponds to a different level.
Level 1 = "RINSE & HOLD" push button
Level 2 = "INTENSIVE 70°" push button
Level 3 = "NORMAL 65°" push button
Level 4 = "BIO 50°" push button
Level 5 = "QUICK 50°" push button
