5.2 How to set the water
hardness level
The appliance allows you to chose
between 7 levels corresponding to 7
different ranges of water hardness.
Depending on the country, the water
hardness is expressed in equivalent
scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German
degrees (°d), English degrees (°e) and
mmol/l.
If necessary, please contact your local
water authority to check the water
hardness in your area.
Check in the "Water hardness levels"
table which is the proper level.
To set the water hardness level:
1. Press the On/Off button for a few
seconds to activate the appliance.
2. Wait about 10 seconds for appliance
internal check.
3. Touch the Stains/Prewash and the
Plus Steam buttons simultaneously
(by touching the two buttons at the
same instant, as shown in the next

display shows the default level C04
and the indicator
means the water softener is active
during washing only.
4. Touch repeatedly the Stains/Prewash
button until the desired level appears
(from C01 to C07).

How to set the water softener
also during rinse phase

we suggest to set the water softener also

Steam buttons:
