Delay timer

The Delay timer allows the user to select the start time by 3, 6 or 9 hours to most efficiently take advantage of convenient times and
energy saving windows.

The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness table below.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would h ave
a detrimental or advers e effect on the ope ration of the app liance.
The higher the content of the se miner als and salts, the har der your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local W ater Authority
can advise you on the hard ness of the water in your area.

AdjustingS altConsumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow

for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness

of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.

What is a water softener for?

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will
form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed to
eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

The factory setting is: H4 (EN 50242)

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
