Adjusting The Water Softener - Electrolux ESL 2435 Instruction Book

Adjusting the water softener

To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tap-
water which is harder than 4 °d (german degree) is softened.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the
water hardness level for your area.

In the following settings the dishwasher must be switched off and all programmes completed.
See chapter "Using the appliance" for information on how to complete the programme.
1. Press in the On/Off button.
2. Press the combination buttons simultaneously
and hold them pressed in. When the first three
programme indicator lamps start to flash, release
the buttons.
3. Press the water softener button once. The lamps
for the water softener and for the completed
programme cycle start to flash and a buzzer
will sound, unless it is switched off.
- The number of flashes for the completed pro-
gramme cycle and sound signals are equivalent
with the set water hardness level.
- This sequence of flashes and sound is repeated
several times after a few seconds pause.
4. The water hardness level is raised by 1 step
every time you press the water softener button.
After hardness level 5 comes hardness level 1.
5. Press the On/Off button when the required water
hardness level is selected. This saves the selection.
If the setting 1 is chosen, the salt indicator lamp
is not lit.
