Before use
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 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 salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million). 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.
