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.
In your request please include the
product number code (PNC) found on
the rating plate.
For any other questions regarding your
dishwasher please refer to the service
book provided with your appliance.
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.
