18. WATER SOFTENER
UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of
limestone and minerals which are deposited
on the dishes leaving whitish stains and
marks. The higher the level of these
minerals present in the water, the harder
the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies softened
water for washing the dishes. The degree of
hardness of your water can be obtained
from your water supply company.
Hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading) or
50°dH (German grading) through 6 different
settings. The table below lists different
degrees of water hardness with the
corresponding setting for the softener unit.

* The water softener unit is set in the

following way:
1. Turn on the dishwasher by holding the
"ON/OFF"
button for approximately

2. Hold down the "SETTING" button
for 5 seconds to open the menu. When
you enter the settings mode, there will
be 6 flashes from several of the
indicator lights on the dashboard.
3. Press "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button to select the desired level of
limescale removal: every time you press
the button, the corresponding indicator
light will switch on, as shown in the
table above (P1
S1, P1+P2S2). For
level ‘S0’, all the indicator lights will be
switched off.
4. Press the "START/RESET" button
to save the setting and exit the settings
menu.
WARNING!
If any problem occurs, turn the
dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF"
