The water softener

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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke

degrees, French degrees (TH°) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

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	water	softener	must	be set in both ways: manually, using
the	water	hardness	dial	and electronically, using the
programme selector dial and the					Start/Cancel	button.

a) Setting manually

1.Open the dishwasher door.

2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3.

4. Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

b) Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1.	Keep the		Start/Cancel		button pressed and turn the
	programme selector dial clockwise until the programme
	selection marker corresponds with the first washing
	programme.
	The On-Off and			Start/Cancel		indicator lights start to flash
	indicating that you have activated the water softener setting
	function.
	At the same time, the				End	indicator light starts flashing.
	The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of
	the	End	indicator light and a pause of about 5 seconds.
	Example:		5 flashes, pause, 5 flashes, pause, etc...= level 5
2.	To change the level, press the					Start/Cancel	button.
	Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the
	selection of the new level, see chart).
	Examples:
	If current level is 5, by pressing the					Start/Cancel	button
	once, level 6 is selected.
	If current level is 10, by pressing the					Start/Cancel	button
	once, level 1 is selected.
	The	End	indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds and

then starts flashing indicating the new set made.

3.To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by returning the programme selector dial to the Off position, that is the programme selection marker corresponds with the On-Off indicator light.

Otherwise wait for about 60 seconds, after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.
