To prevent children from coming
into contact with detergent, only
place it in the dispenser immediate-
ly before starting the program.

Sequence indication (15)

Once a program has started, the se-
quence indicator lamps (15) show the
actual program stage reached by the
dishwasher.
When required, the water softener
reactivation process is performed
before the wash program. It may
last several minutes.
During this process the "Softener"
indicator will be on.
The hardness of the water supply will
dictate how often (after how many
washes) the water softener needs to be
reactivated. For example, with a water
hardness of 21 gr/gal, reactivation will
take place after every 3 programs. With
a water hardness of 8 gr/gal, reactivation
will only take place after 11 programs.
