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 dishwasher salt

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser

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, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

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 buttons on the control panel.

a) Setting manually

1.Open the dishwasher door.

2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).

4.Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

b) Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1.Press the On/Off button. The indicator lights of all the programme selection buttons will illuminate (setting mode).

If only one programme selection button indicator light is illuminated this means that a washing programme is set. The programme must be cancelled: press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds, the indicator light of the set programme button starts flashing. After about 2 seconds the indicator lights of all the programme selection buttons will illuminate, this means that the set washing programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.

2.Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3, until the indicator lights of function buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.

3.Press function button 1, the indicator lights of function buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of function button 1 goes on flashing, the digital display indicates the current level and a sequence of intermittent audible signals are heard.

The current level is indicated by the number visible in the display and the number of intermittent audible signals heard.

Example:

displayed + 5 audible signals = level 5.

4.To change the level, press function button 1. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart).

Examples:

if the current level is 5, by pressing function button 1 once, level 6 is selected.

if the current level is 10, by pressing function button 1 once, level 1 is selected.

5.To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button or wait about 60 seconds after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.
