If the hardness level of the water
that you use is above 90 °dF (French
standard for water hardness) or if
you are using well water, than it is
recommended to use fi lter and water
purifi cation devices.
If the hardness level of the water that
you use is below 8°dF (French standard
for water hardness), there is no need to
use salt in your dishwasher. If this is the
case, “No Salt Warning Indicator” (if any)
illuminates continuously on the panel
of your machine.
If the water hardness adjustment
is set to level 1, the “No salt warning
indicator” will illuminate continu- ously
although it is not necessary to use salt.
If you use salt under this condition, salt
will not be consumed and the lamp will
not illuminate.
Warning:
If you move your house, it is very
important to make the water hardness
level adjustment of your machine
according to the new location you
move in order to preserve the washing
effi ciency.
If the water hardness level of your
machine is adjusted previously, your
machine will display the last water
hardness level adjustment. Adjust
the new water hardness level of your
machine on basis of the water hardness
level of your tap water.
