When you activate the appliance, usually it
is in programme selection mode. However,
if this does not happen, you can set the
programme selection mode in the following
way:
Press and hold the programme button until
the appliance is in programme selection
mode.
The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from
the water supply, which would have a
detrimental effect on the washing results
and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the
harder your water is. Water hardness is
measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good
washing results.

Do not use salt at this level.
Whether you use a standard detergent or
multi-tabs (with or without salt), 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.
How to set the water softener level
The appliance must be in programme
selection mode.
1. To enter the user mode, press and hold
the programme button until the
indicator starts to flash and the
indicator
comes on with fixed light.
