6. SETTINGS

6.1 Programme selection mode and user mode

When the appliance is in programme selection mode it is possible to set a programme and to enter the user mode.

Settings available in the user mode:

•The level of water softener according to the water hardness.

•Activation or deactivation of the acoustic signal for the end of a programme.

•Activation or deactivation of AirDry.

As the appliance stores the saved settings, there is no need to configure it before every cycle.

How to set the programme selection mode

The appliance is in programme selection mode when the programme indicator

flashes.

After activation, the appliance is in programme selection mode by default. If not, set the programme selection mode the following way:

Press and hold the programme button until the appliance is in programme selection mode.

To enter the user mode, press and hold the programme button until the indicator

flashes and the indicators and are on.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales.

The water 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. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

Softening hard water increases the consumption of water and energy as well as the programme duration. The higher the level of water softener, the higher the consumption and the longer the duration.

How to enter user mode

Make sure the appliance is in programme selection mode.
