ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER...

In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water i.e containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains are left behind on crockery and glasses etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, ie. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher.

The water Softener should be properly adjusted to optimise salt consumption and for best washing results.

In order to ensure that the correct amount of salt is being used to regenerate the water softener, the water hardness adjuster needs to be set accordingly. To set this correctly the hardness of your water needs to be ascertained. Find on the table the level corresponding to the hardness of your water and the required adjustments or contact your local Water company to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

Water hardness table:

Models DWF35 and DWF34 only.

To change the setting:

-Press the Economy 50˚ button 3 .

Every time the button is pressed, the figure increases by one. After reaching 7, the display starts at 0 again.

-Set the mains switch 1 to OFF. The new setting is stored in the appliances

memory. Approx. 4 litres of water are required for regenerating the water

softening system. The overall water consumption per load can therefore be increased by between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the water hardness setting.
