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

NOTE:

If you want to use the "3 in 1" - "4 in 1" combi detergents, carefully read the information given in "Different kinds of detergents".

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, German 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 both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using the function buttons on the control panel.

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.
