The efficiency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the tap water.
To ensure best efficiency, the dishwasher is equipped with a system that
reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The efficiency will increase
when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level of your
water supply you can use the test strip supplied or alternatively contact your
local water board.
1. Open the testing strip (figure 4).
2. Run water through the tap for one minute.
3. Hold the testing strip in water for one second.
4. Remove from the water and shake the test strip to remove excess water.
5. Wait for one minute.
6. Check the number of marks on the strip to see the level of water
hardness.
If the hardness of the water you use is above 63 dE or if you are using well
water; you are recommended to contact your local water board to confirm
the water hardness level and to use filter and water refinement devices.
Please note: The level of water hardness is preset to level 3.

NOTE:
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this
reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains water
supply. The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out
the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine
water hardness level by using the test strip(if available).
If the hardness of the water you use is above 90 dF (French hardness) or if you are using well
water; you are recommended to use filter and water refinement devices.
Hardness level is adjusted to level 3 as a factory setting.
