How to set water hardness

* only before the first wash or if

the water hardness has been

changed

Switch on the appliance

- Select the 2nd programme “P2” - consult the table of programmes.

- Press the ST ART button for at least 5 seconds until the START indicator lamp flashes.

- The water hardness setting is shown on the display (if present) or the START button flashes.

- With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.

- The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.

Even if you use tablets which include salt,

you must still add salt since such

detergents are not effective enough at

softening hard water.

Water hardness level is factory set for

medium hard water (a number “4” is

shown on the display or the START

indicator lamp flashes 4 times).

Ask your water supply company what the

water hardness

is...

...enter this value on your

dishwasher

Adding rinse aid

(not necessary when you use tablets). How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator

Daily use

The salt level indicator lamp may remain lit for the duration of several wash cycles. If the

water hardness level falls within category (soft),

salt is required.

Salt indicator

(depending on

the model)

The indicator lamp on the control panel lights

up when SALT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

orange: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED

Rinse aid indicator (depending on model)

The indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE

ADDED.

dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED

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 d ry : incr e a s e 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 programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend

to form excess suds.
