First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

Ensure that the electrical and water connec- tions comply with the installation instructions

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

Fill the rinse aid dispenser

Remove all packaging from inside the appli- ance

Set the water softener

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multi- Tab function (see "Multi-Tab function").

Set 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 det- rimental 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 de-

grees (°dH), 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.
