with the installation instructions

Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed
to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which
would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation
of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water
is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German,
French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness
of the water in your area.Your local Water Authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should
be adjusted.
The adjustment of the water softener is possible
only with the machine in setting mode.
To select a different level proceed as follows:
1. Press the On/Off push button.
2. Press push buttons 2 and 4 simultaneously for about 5
seconds, in the digital display appears the current level
and the indicator light of push button 2 flashes.
3. Press within 5 seconds push button 2 as many times as
necessary until the required level appears in the digital
display. The level increases by 1 each time the push
button is pressed.
4. 5 seconds after the push button 2 has last been pressed,
the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns
to the programme setting mode.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off the
dishwasher.

Water hardness
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and
therefore there is no need to use salt.With the
setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always
remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
