c. How to set the water hardness level
- Press and hold the programme selection button and the Cancel/Off button for at least three seconds.
- The hardness level set is shown on the display or the LEDs for programmes 1 - 3 indicate the water
hardness setting according to the table below.
- With each successive touch of the programme selection button, the setting increases and when it
reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
- Press and hold the START button or wait 30 seconds for the setting to be saved!
The factory setting for water hardness is 4 for medium-hard water (display 4 or programme 3 LED
lights up).
Water hardness level 4 with combined action detergent
Even if you use tablets which include salt functionality, you must still add regeneration salt. They
are not effective enough at softening hard water. If the appliance is equipped with the "Set
detergent type" function (see page 4) and this function has been selected, the salt indicator remains
on starting from water hardness level 5.
