6. SETTINGS
6.1 Programme selection mode
and user mode
When the appliance is in programme
selection mode it is possible to set a
programme and to enter the user mode.
In user mode, the following settings
can be changed:
• The level of the water softener
according to the water hardness.
• The activation or the deactivation of the
acoustic signal for end of programme.
These settings will be saved until you
change them again.
How to set the programme
selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection
mode when all the programme indicators

However, if this does not happen, you can
set the programme selection mode in the
following way:
Press and hold the programme button
until the appliance is in programme
selection mode.
6.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from
the water supply, which would have a
detrimental effect on the washing results
and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area. It is important to set the right
ENGLISH 7
level of the water softener to assure good
washing results.
