hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or 
check the last bill you received).
If the water hardness level does not correspond to position 3 (factory 
setting) or if the water hardness level changes:
Set the water hardness level (for dishwashers without water 
hardness sensor only):
Setting must be carried out according to the following table.

the water hardness level selected (chart, setting - blinking frequency or 
digital display).
With each successive touch of the Start button the setting increases and 
when it reaches 7 it returns to 1 again.
Switch off the appliance (consult the quick reference guide).
The selected setting is now memorized.Settings for dishwashers without
