17. WATER SOFTENER
UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of
limestone and minerals which are deposited
on the dishes leaving whitish stains and
marks. The higher the level of these
minerals present in the water, the harder
the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies softened
water for washing the dishes. The degree of
hardness of your water can be obtained
from your water supply company.
Hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading) or
50°dH (German grading) through 6 different
settings. The table below lists different
degrees of water hardness with the
corresponding setting for the softener unit.

* The water softener unit is set in the
factory at level 3, as this is suitable for
the majority of users.
According to the degree of hardness of your
water, regulate the softener unit in the
following way:
1. Hold down the "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button and at the same time switch on
the dishwasher by pressing th e
"ON/OFF" button for 5 seconds (a brief
audible signal will sound).
2. Keep the "PROGRAMME SELECTION"
button pressed for at least 5 seconds,
UNTIL an audible signal sounds. Some
"PROGRAMME SELECTION" indicator
lights will come on to indicate the
current water softener setting level.
3. Press the same button again to select
the required water softener level: each
time the button is pressed, one indicator
light will come on (the water softener
level is indicated by the number of
lightson). For level 0 all lights will be off.
4. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the
"ON/OFF" button to confirm the new
setting.
WARNING!
If any problem occurs, turn the
dishwasher off by pressing the "ON/OFF"
button and start the procedure again
from the beginning (STEP 1).
The dishwasher must ALWAYS be off
before start of this procedure.
