10.2 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), mmol/l and ppm.
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 Spin and the Temperature
buttons simultaneously (by touching the
two buttons at the same instant, as
shown in the next drawing) for some
seconds until the display shows the
default level C04 and the indicator
goes on. It means the water softener is
active during washing only.

How to set the water softener also
during rinse phase
The factory setting allows to soften the water
during washing phase only. This setting
satisfies most of the use condition. However,
if the inlet water is particularly hard (C06 and
C07 levels), we suggest to set the water
softener also during rinsing phase to preserve
the fabric softness.
Once you have entered the menu by pressing
Spin and the Temperature buttons:
1. Touch the Temperature button. The

This setting increases the salt
consumption.
2. Touch the Start/Pause button to confirm
your choice and exit the menu.
