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, by the means of the programme selection/cancel button.

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 is factory set at level 5.

1.With the dishwasher switched off, press the On/Off button. The END OF CYCLE indicator light flashes (setting mode). In case salt and/or rinse aid refilling is necessary the corresponding indicator lights illuminate.

If one of the washing programme indicator lights is on, this means that a washing programme has been set.

The setting must be cancelled: press for about 3 seconds the programme selection/cancel button; the indicator light of the set programme turns off and the END OF CYCLE indicator light flashes, indicating that the set programme has been cancelled and that the machine is now in setting mode.

2.Press and keep pressed the programme selection/cancel button until programme indicator light 1 flashes and programme indicator light 2 illuminates with a fixed light. Wait until programme indicator light 2 turns off, programme indicator light 1 goes on flashing and simultaneously the END OF CYCLE indicator light starts flashing.

This indicates that you have activated the electronic setting function of the water softener.

The current level is indicated by a sequence of flashes of the END OF CYCLE indicator light, a sequence of intermittent audible signals and a pause of a few seconds (see chart).

Example: 5 flashes/5 audible signals + pause + 5 flashes/5 audible signals etc...= level 5

3.To change the level, press the programme selection/cancel button.

Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level, see chart).

Examples:

if the current level is 5, by pressing the programme selection/cancel button once, level 6 is selected.

if the current level is 10, by pressing the programme selection/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.

The END OF CYCLE indicator light remains off for a few seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new selection is set.

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