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
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

Phase indicator lights:
washing: illuminates when the washing phase is
running
drying: illuminates when the drying phase is
running
end of programme: illuminates when the washing
programme has ended
As soon as you select a washing programme, the phase
indicator lights for that programme will illuminate.
As the programme starts, the phase indicator lights turn off
except for the indicator light of the phase in progress.
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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
