How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results |

Water hardness should be set only before the first wash or if water hardness has been changed
Water hardness level is factory set for medium-hard water (level 4).
Even if you use tablets which include salt functionality, you must still add regeneration salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.
-Press and hold together Programs and CANCEL/Off buttons for minimum 3 seconds.
-Programs LEDs will indicate the water hardness setting.
-Press the Programs button to increase setting (when the level reaches 7, the next key press will set the level back to 1.
-Wait 30 seconds (control panel switches off) or press START/Resume button to save setting.

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
Adding detergent - Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier’s recommendations
