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) and

mmol/l.
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:

Press the On/Off button for a few

seconds to activate the appliance.

Wait about 10 seconds for appliance

internal check.

Touch the Stains/Prewash and the

Plus Steam 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.

Touch repeatedly the Stains/Prewash

button until the desired level appears

(from

C01

C07

Touch the Start/Pause button to

confirm your choice and exit the

menu.

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 Stains/Prewash and the Plus

Steam buttons:

Touch the Plus Steam button. The

goes on.

This setting increases

the salt consumption.

Touch the Start/Pause button to

confirm your choice and exit the

menu.

How to deactivate the water
softener

Once you have entered the menu by

pressing Stains/Prewash and the Plus

Steam buttons:

By touching the Plus Steam button

twice, the water softener is excluded
completely. The indicator

and

go off and the

appears in

the display.

Touch the Start/Pause button to

confirm your choice and exit the

menu.
