WATERCONTROL-SYSTEM
The water-stop device protects against water damages caused by leaks on the fill
hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose.
In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the corrugated hose and activates a
stop valve which cuts off the water supply to the machine.
This fault is shown by a red sector on the window «A».
Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent.
If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer
one. The hose can be obtained from your Service Agent.

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.
Regulating the water softener
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:
