10.2 Water hardness
Water hardness can be
different for different
locations. Water hardness
has an effect on the water
conductivity and the
operation of the conductivity
sensor in the appliance. If
you know the value of the
water conductivity you can
adjust the sensor to dry with
the better results
(recommended to set the
"soft water hardness" to get
the laundry more dried).
The appliance allows you to chose
between 3 levels (Hard, Medium, Soft)
corresponding to different ranges of
water hardness.

the included wa‐
ter hardness kit.
Soft
< 150
C01-C03
Medium
150 - 300
C04-C05
Hard
> 300
C06-C07
Depending on the country, the water
hardness is expressed in equivalent
scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German
degrees (°d), English degrees (°e),
mmol/l and ppm
If necessary, please contact your local
water authority to check the water
hardness in your area.
To change the default water hardness:
1. Turn the appliance on.
2. Wait approximately 8 seconds.
3. Select 1 of the available programs.
4. Touch and hold down the Dryness
Level and Anti-crease buttons at the
same time.
One of the symbols appears on the
display:
- Soft
- Medium
- Hard
5. Touch the Start/Pause button
repeatedly until you reach the
desired water hardness level.

6. To memorise the setting touch and
hold down the Dryness Level and
Anti-crease buttons at the same time
for approximately 2 seconds.
10.3 Deactivating the tank
indicator
The water container indicator is activated
by default. It illuminates at the end of the
drying cycle or during the cycle if the
water reservoir is full. If the draining kit is
installed the water container is drained
automatically and the indicator can be
deactivated.
To deactivate the indicator:
1. Turn the appliance on.
2. Wait approximately 8 seconds.
3. Select 1 of the available
programmes.
4. Touch and hold down Anti-crease
and Time Dry buttons at the same
time.
One of 2 configurations is possible:
• the Tank indicator:
is on if the
symbol
appears - the
water container indicator is
permanently activated
• the Tank indicator:
is off if the
symbol
appears - the
water container indicator is
permanently deactivated
