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.
The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90°fH (French grading)
or 50°dH (German grading) through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below:

* The softener unit is set in the factory at
level 4 (d4) as this satisfies the requirements
of the majority of users.
Regulate the setting of your water softener
unit according to the degree of hardness of
your water as follows:
1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME
SELECTION" button and at the same
time switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the "ON/OFF" button (a brief
audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button pressed for at least 5 seconds,
UNTIL a brief audible signal sounds. The
current water softener setting level will be
shown on the display.
3. Press the same button again to select
the required water softener level: each
time the button is pressed, the setting
will increase by one level. When you
have reached "d7", the display will go
back to "d0".
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the
ON/OFF" button to confirm the new
setting.
