Make sure your 

dishwasher is 

perfectly level using 

the adjustable feet. 

When the appliance 

is correctly levelled, 

the door will not 

catch on the inner 

liner on either side of 

the cabinet.

If the door does 

not close correctly, 

loosen or tighten 

the adjustable feet, 

until the machine is 

perfectly level.

Water hardness & regeneration settings

The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on 

your dishes. Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove 

the hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will increase the 

washing effectiveness.

To find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local 

Water Board or Determine water hardness level by the help of test strip 

provided.

If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will 

possibly be different. It is essential to reset the water hardness in 

order to obtain optimum washing efficiency.

Test Strip

Let the water

flow from your

tap for 1 minute.

Remove the

test strip from

its packing.

 Fill a glass with

tap water and

dip the test strip

into water for 1

second.

Take the test strip

out of the water and

shake it.

Hold for

1 minute.

Set the water hardness level of your dishwasher

according to the result shown by the test strip.
