Adapt the preset water hardness if necessary

The water hardness of your washing machine is set to "soft". Check with your regional water supply authorities or by using the test stripe provided

with your washing machine, if the hardness of your water is also "soft". Refer to the picture on the right to understand how to interpret results from

the stripe test. If your regional water hardness is not "soft", adapt the water hardness setting of the washing machine as follows

To check and eventually change the preset detergent dosing value, proceed as follows:

First select a programme belonging to the group for which you want to check the preset dosing value.

ing machine now by pushing the buttons marked with “+” or “-”.

Press button marked with “Ok” to save the set detergent dosing value - the numbers

detergent dispenser:
