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

6.Run a Rinse and Hold programme.

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, Clarke 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.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.


				Water hardness

Level		Clarke			French		PPM		Use of
		degrees			degrees		(Parts per		salt
					(°TH)		Million)

1			< 6			< 8	< 80		NO
2	6		- 21		8 - 30		81 - 300		YES
3	22		- 35		31	- 50	301	- 500	YES
4	36		- 49		51	- 70	501	- 700	YES
5	50 - 63				71	- 90	701	- 900	YES

If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off. Use salt from level 2 upwards.

From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at

the end of the washing programme.

During the run of the programme it will remain off.
