The tests in accordance with EN 50242/60436 must be carried out with a full water softener salt dispenser and a full rinse aid reservoir, and using the test programme. The values given for programmes other than Eco 50°C programme are indicative only. (#) Additional functions might cause changes in programme durations.

Adjusting the water softening system

Washing, rinsing, and drying performance of your dishwasher will improve when the water softening system is adjusted correctly. To adjust the system, first determine the water hardness in your region and adjust as indicated below:

  1. Unpack the test strip.
  2. Open the tap and let the water flow for approximately 1 minute.
  3. Dip the test strip into the water for 1 second.
  4. Take out the strip from the water and shake it.
  5. Wait for 1 minute.
  6. Make the necessary adjustment according to the test strip.

After detecting the water hardness:

  1. After switching on your machine, press and hold the Menu key for 3 seconds. (Note: Some models require pressing the Menu key once to enter the settings menu).
  2. Using the "<" and ">" keys, proceed until the water hardness setting indicator becomes visible (the "r" position will be displayed).
  3. Using the Selection key, adjust the water hardness level according to the hardness of the supply water. For correct setting, please see the "Water hardness level setting table".
  4. Press the On / Off key to save the setting.
