good wash performances at low
temperature.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the water hardness of your
inlet water. A correct setting allows to
achieve the best washing results and the
maximum garments protection.
To set the water softener correctly,
please refer to 'How to set the water
hardness level'.
8.2 How to set the water
hardness level
The appliance allows you to chose
between 7 levels corresponding to 7
different ranges of water hardness.
Depending on the country, the water
hardness is expressed in equivalent
scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German
degrees (°d), English degrees (°e),
mmol/l and ppm.
If necessary, please contact your local
water authority to check the water
hardness in your area.
Check in the "Water hardness levels"
table which is the proper level.
To set the water hardness level:
1. Press the On/Off button for a few
seconds to activate the appliance.
2. Wait about 10 seconds for appliance
internal check.
3. Touch the Manchas/Pre-Lav. and the
Vapor Plus buttons simultaneously
(by touching the two buttons at the
same instant, as shown in the next
drawing) for some seconds until the
display shows the default level C04
and the indicator goes on. It
means the water softener is active
during washing only.
4. Touch repeatedly the Manchas/Pre-
Lav. button until the desired level
appears (from C01 to C07).
5. Touch the Inicio/Pausa button to
confirm your choice and exit the
menu.
How to set the water softener
also during rinse phase
The factory setting allows to soften the
water during washing phase only. This
setting satisfies most of the use
condition. However, if the inlet water is
particularly hard (C06 and C07 levels),
we suggest to set the water softener also
during rinsing phase to preserve the
fabric softness.
Once you have entered the menu by
pressing Manchas/Pre-Lav. and the
Vapor Plus buttons:
1. Touch the Vapor Plus button. The
goes on.
This setting increases
the salt consumption.
2. Touch the Inicio/Pausa button to
confirm your choice and exit the
menu.
How to deactivate the water
softener
Once you have entered the menu by
pressing Manchas/Pre-Lav. and the
Vapor Plus buttons:
1. By touching the Vapor Plus button
twice, the water softener is excluded
completely. The indicator
and
go off and the appears in
the display.
