1) Factory setting.
2) Do not use salt at this level.
Regardless of the type of detergent used, set
the proper water hardness level to keep the
salt refill indicator active.
Multi-tabs containing salt are not
effective enough to soften hard water.
ACTIVATING AIRDRY
AirDry improves the drying results with less energy consumption.
By default, AirDry is activated with all programmes excluding
(if applicable) but it is possible to
deactivate it.
While the drying phase operates, the device opens the appliance door. The door is then kept
ajar.
