How to set the water hardness?
To set the water softening system of your dishwasher, follow these steps:
- After determining your water hardness level with the provided strip, turn on the machine.
- Press and hold the Time Delay (Départ différé) and Programme buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to access the Settings menu.
- Press the Programme button until the salt indicator (a specific icon on your control panel that warns when the reservoir needs filling) flashes.
- Use the Time Delay button to adjust the hardness level (from 0 to 5) according to the setting table in the manual. If you only see options like P1 or P3, it indicates you are in the interior lighting menu; ensure the salt indicator is flashing before using the Time Delay button for hardness adjustment.
- Press the On/Off button to save your configuration. The Time Delay button (identified as 4 and 10 on the device diagram) serves to schedule programs or adjust parameters like water hardness in the settings menu. If you only see 0 to 3 hours with the Time Delay button, that refers to the wash programming function, not the water hardness setting; ensure you've properly entered the settings menu as described in step 2.
