water hardness has been changed

-

Select the 2nd programme “P2” - consult the table of programmes.

-

Press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the START indicator lamp flashes.

-

The water hardness setting is shown on the display (if present) or the START button flashes.

-

With each successive touch of the START button the setting increases and when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.

-

The appliance must be switched off to memorise the new setting.

Even if you use tablets which include salt, 
you must still add salt since such 
detergents are not effective enough at 
softening hard water.

Water hardness level is factory set for 
medium hard water (a number “4” is 
shown on the display or the START 
indicator lamp flashes 4 times).

1. Ask your water supply company what 

the water hardness is...

2. ...enter this value on your dishwasher
