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 learn the water hardness in your region and adjust as indicated below:
- Unpack the test strip.
- Open the tap and let the water flow for approx. 1 minute.
- Dip in the test strip into the water for 1 second.
- Take out the strip from the water and shake it.
- Wait for 1 minute.
- Make the necessary adjustment according to the test strip.
After detecting the water hardness:
- After switching on your machine, press and hold the Menu key for 3 seconds. (Note: Some models require pressing Menu key once to enter settings menu)
- Using <- and +> keys, proceed until the water hardness setting indicator becomes on (“r” position will be displayed).
- Using the Selection key, adjust water hardness level according to the hardness of the supply water. For correct setting please see "Water hardness level setting table".
- Press On / Off key to save the setting.

- If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 50°dH or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use filter and water purification devices.
- If the hardness level of the water that you use is below 7°dH, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. In this case, the Salt Indicator light on the control panel of your dishwasher will light continuously.
- If the water hardness is set to level 1, the Salt Indicator will light continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the lamp will not illuminate.
ℹ When moving, you will need to set the water hardness level of your dishwasher again according to the information above, depending on the water hardness of the place you have moved to. If the water hardness level of your machine is adjusted previously, your machine will display the most recent hardness level adjustment.
