• French degrees (°TH).
5. Set the correct washing programme for the type of
load and soil.
6. Fill the detergent dispenser with the correct quantity
of detergent.
7. Start the washing programme.
If you use detergent tablets, refer to the chapter 'Use
of detergent'.
• mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the
hardness of water).
•Clarke.
Adjust the water softener to the water hardness in your
area. If necessary, contact your local water authority.
You must set the water softener manually and electronically.

When you set electronically the water softener to level 1,
the salt indicator light does not stay on.
