Setting the Water Softener
( Model Depending )
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 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.
