Prior to using for the first time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1.Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

2.Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3.Set the water softener

4.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with special dishwasher salt.

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel.
