Set 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 minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water hard-
ness is measured in equivalent scales, Ger-
man degrees (dH°), French degrees (°TH)
and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
Water hardness
°dH
51 - 70 91 - 125
43 - 50
°TH mmol/l
9,1 - 12,5
76 - 90 7,6 - 9,0
Always remember that when performing
the following operations:
– selecting a washing programme,
– setting the water softener level,
– activating/deactivating the rinse aid,
the appliance MUST be in setting mode.
Press the On/Off button; if a programme but-
ton light comes on, the last performed or se-
lected programme is still set. In this case, to
return to setting mode, the programme has
to be cancelled.
To cancel a set programme or a
programme in progress
Simultaneously press and hold the two func-
tion buttons B and C until all the programme
button lights come on. The programme has
been cancelled and the machine is now in
setting mode.

tablets such as: ''3 in 1'', ''4 in 1'', ''5

(See ''Multitab function'').
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 two
ways: manually, using the water hard-
ness dial and electronically.
