Setting the water hardness level se-
lector in the wash cabinet
Switch the dishwasher off with the
“On/Off” button.
The water hardness level selector in the
wash cabinet must be set according to
the table below.
Setting the selector to the correct set-
ting will help minimise the effects of the
wash process on glass surfaces. Too
high a setting will lead to poor cleaning
results and an increase in water spots
left on crockery and cutlery.
Use a screwdriver to take the cover
off the water hardness level selector
in the wash cabinet.
Use a coin or screwdriver to adjust
the water hardness level selector in
the wash cabinet. There is a click as
each setting is reached.
