•press the PROGRAM DELAY (4) button until the H symbol appears on the display, followed by the number 3, > H3;
•press the PROGRAM DELAY (4) button the number of times needed to select the right setting level for the hardness of the water (H0, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5);
•press the START/STOP (5) button to confirm the setting and return to the program setting menu.
N.B.: after 2 minutes, the appliance exits the parameter setting menu automatically.
The value entered for this parameter establishes whether or not regeneration is to be carried out at the end of the washing cycle, on the basis of the table below.
