SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
These models have 5 Water Hardness Settings to allow for the water supply where the machine is
located.
The Water Hardness Setting must be set:
- before the machine is used for the first time (the factory default setting is 3)
- if a new Module has been fitted or if the machine is moved to a different water area.
Use the Water Hardness Setting Table above to determine WATER HARDNESS then follow the
following procedure to set the machine to the required Water Hardness.
Note: If the correct Water Hardness Setting is not set, reliability and performance could be
affected.
1. Connect the machine to the mains power supply and
make sure that the power is On.
2. Ensure that the dishwasher is switched Off
(connected to the mains but switched Off at the
console)
.
3. Close the dishwasher Door and Set the Selector knob
to position 3 (see Fig.1 above).
4.
Open the dishwasher Door.
(this starts the sequence)
5.
Perform the following sequence - see Fig 2
a. Rotate the Selector to position 5
b. Rotate the Selector to position 1
c. Rotate the Selector to position 5 again
d. Switch the machine ON at the console.
e. The Program Progress Lamps should now be Flashing.
f. Rotate the Selector (within 10 seconds) to the required hardness setting (refer to chart
above.) If setting 5 is required, leave the selector at position 5 until the lights stop flashing.
When the lights stop flashing, the setting will be taken from where the selector was positioned.
Note.
It is important all steps are carried out with pausing, otherwise the machine will reset to
previous or default setting when the lights stop flashing.
If you fail to complete the sequence within the required time, switch the dishwasher OFF at the
power source and start again from step 1.
Once set, the setting will be remembered even if the power is turned off.
