STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener

For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.

The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks after washing and drying.

Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates using regenerating salt.

You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water in your area.

➀- Measuring the water hardness

To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water hardness level and adjust on the machine as described below.

- Screw the salt reservoir’s stop back in fully.

SALT WATER

The display shows the water hardness in accordance with the above

table. When first switched on, the display shows	(setting for 10 -
25°F).

To change the setting, press the “Soak” button as many times as required to obtain the water softener setting recommended by the testing strip.

You must fill the salt reservoir with water before using the machine, even if the water softener setting selected

does not require any regenerating salt.

If you move house and take the dishwasher with you, you will need to check the water hardness and adjust accordingly.

For good wash results it is very important to set the dishwasher to the correct level of water hardness and to set the correct level of rinse aid (see page 8).

Do not use kitchen salt.

Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling, we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals

to avoid oxidising the tub.

See Page 17 :	symbol indi-	filled, for instance when putting

If the water is especially soft and does not require the use of any regenerating

salt, the SALT light remains lit.
