Adjusting the water softening system

Washing, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will improve when the water softening system is adjusted correctly.
To adjust the system, first learn the water hardness in your region and adjust as indicated below.

  • Unpack the test strip.
  • Open the tap and let the water flow for approx. 1 minute.
  • Dip in the test strip into the water for 1 second.
  • Take out the strip from the water and shake it.
  • Wait for 1 minute.
  • Make the necessary adjustment according to the test strip.
    Level 0
    Level 1
    Level 2
    Level 3
    Level 4
    Level 5

After the determination of the water hardness:

  1. Press the On/Off key and P2 program key simultaneously for 3 seconds and enter the Settings menu after turning your machine on with On/Off key, depending on the model you may enter the Settings Menu by pressing the P3 key for 3 seconds.
  2. Move to “r” position on the screen by pressing the P2 key.
  3. Set to a proper level by selecting one of the “r:1”,“r:2”,“r:3”,“r:4” or “r:5” positions with the P3 program key.
  4. To save, exit the settings menu by pressing on/off key of your machine for 3 seconds. Your settings shall be saved automatically.

Level 1 6-9 5-7 9-13
Level 2 10-15 8-12 14-22 Press the Selection key to switch the water hardness level to position 2. (r2)

Level 5 25-62 20-50 35-90 Press the Selection key to switch the water hardness level to position 5. (r5)
 

Perform the same hardness level adjustment that you have set on the control panel also  with the regeneration adjustment switch. For example, if you have adjusted to “3” in the
control panel, also set the regeneration adjustment switch to 3.

  • If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 50°dH or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use filter and water purification devices.
  • If the hardness level of the water that you use is below 7°dH, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. In this case, the Salt Indicator light on the control panel of your dishwasher will light continuously.
  • If the water hardness is set to level 1, the Salt Indicator will light continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the lamp will not illuminate.

When moving, you will need to set the water hardness level of your dishwasher again according to the information above, depending on the water hardness of the place you
have moved to. If the water hardness level of your machine is adjusted previously, your machine will display the most recent hardness level adjustment.
