6. SETTINGS
6.1 Programme selection
mode and user mode
When the appliance is in programme
selection mode it is possible to set a
programme and to enter the user mode.
Settings available in the user mode:
• The level of the water softener
according to the water hardness.
• The activation or the deactivation of
the acoustic signal for end of
programme.
• The activation or the deactivation of
AirDry
As the appliance stores the saved

it before every cycle.
How to set the programme
selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection
mode when the programme indicator
is blinking.
When you activate the appliance, usually
it is in programme selection mode.
However, if this does not happen, you
can set the programme selection mode
in the following way:
Press and hold the programme button
until the appliance is in programme
selection mode.
6.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a detrimental effect on the washing
results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water 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. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.
