WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the
dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals
present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating salt, supplies
softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
Regulating the water softener
with electronic programmer
The softener unit can treat water with a
hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading)
or 50°dH (German grading) through six
different settings.
The table below lists different degrees of
water hardness with the corresponding
setting for the softener unit.
*The water softener unit is set in the
factory at level 3, as this is suitable for
the majority of users.

Connecting the outlet hose
■ The outlet hose should disharge into a
standpipe, making sure that there are no
kinks (fig. 4).
■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm
above floor level and it must have an
internal diameter of at least 4 cm.
■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap
(fig. 4X).
■ If necessary the outlet hose can be
extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is
kept at a maximum height of 85 cm
above floor level. The extension pipe is
available from the After Sales Service
Centre.
■ The hose can be hooked over the side of
the sink, but it must not be immersed in
water, in order to prevent water from
being syphoned back to the machine
when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).
■ When installing the appliance under a
worktop the hose pipe clamp must be
attached to the wall in the highest possible
position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).
■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet
and outlet hoses.
