Water hardness level is 
factory set for medium-hard 
water (level 4).
Detergents
When powder or gel 
detergent is used, 
regeneration salt must be 
added and water hardness 
level must be set as indicated 
in the table on the right.
Also, when tablets which 
include salt functionality are 
used, regeneration salt still 
must be added.
Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient).
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components.
The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.
How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results
Before first use, run the appliance with detergent and without loading.
