First use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
•Ensure that the electrical and water con- nections comply with the installation in- structions
•Remove all packaging from inside the ap- pliance
•Set the water softener level
•Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
•Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: '3 in 1', '4 in 1', '5 in 1' etc. set the multitab function. (Re- fer to 'Multitab function').
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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is. Water hard- ness is measured in equivalent scales, Ger- man degrees (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.
The water softener must be set in two ways: manually, using the water hard- ness dial and electronically.
