Setting the Water Softener (Model Depending)
•
The dishwasher needs soft water for good cleaning results. Hard water results in a build-up of
calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. Your dishwasher has a special water
softening system to remove the hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will
increase the washing effectiveness.
•
Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 9 °f (French Water Hardness) needs to be
softened.
•
If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 9 °f (French standard for water hardness)
or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use a filter and water purification
devices.
•
The dishwasher is programmed at the factory setting level 1 (inactive) of water hardness. If this
setting corresponds to the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything more.
•
The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.
•
To find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or Determine
water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.
WARNING: If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly be
different. It is essential to setting again the water hardness in order to obtain optimum washing
efficiency.
