If you want to use the "3 in 1" detergent tablets, read carefully the informations given in "Different Kinds of Detergents".
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 ppm (Parts Per Million) 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 switch and electronically, using the function buttons on the control panel.
a) Setting manually
1.Open the dishwasher door.
2.Remove the lower basket
from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
b) Setting electronically
(The dishwasher must be switched off before starting this procedure)
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1.Press the On/Off button. All programme selection buttons indicator lights will illuminate (setting mode).
If only one programme selection button indicator light is illuminated, this means that a washing programme is set. The programme must be cancelled: press simultaneously the function buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds, the indicator light of the set programme button starts flashing for about 2 seconds.
After about 2 seconds the indicator lights of all the programme selection buttons will illuminate indicating that the set programme has been cancelled and that the machine is now in setting mode.
2.Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3, until the indicator lights of the function buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.
3.Press function button 1, the indicator lights of function buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time the End indicator light illuminates, along with a
sequence of audible signals.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the End indicator light and of audible signals heard.
Example:
5 flashes, 5 audible signals, pause, 5 flashes, 5 audible signals, pause, etc... = level 5.
4.To change the level, press function button 1. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart).
