can have a bad effect on the operation of the appliance.
Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:
• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.
Adjust the water softener to the water hardness in your area. If necessary, contact your
local water authority.

1) The appliance adjusts automatically the temperature and the quantity of the water. This depends if the appliance
has a full load or not and on the degree of soil. The programme duration and the programme consumptions
can change.
2) When you have a light load, this programme gives a timesaving solution with perfect washing results.
3) Test programme for test institutes. Refer to supplied leaflet for test data.
4) This washing programme operates with a low level of noise. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease
the level of noise of 25% compared to the declaration programme. Because of the low level of noise the
programme has a very long time duration. Set this washing programme in times when the power rate is more
economical.
