Before using for the first time

Water softener

Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used.

To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher.

If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be softened.

–The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation. If using "Tab" products which include salt, you should still add salt to the machine to achieve optimal cleaning results.

–Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

–The dishwasher must be programmed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.

If the hardness of your local supply is constantly lower than 4 °d (4 gr/gal [US]), you do not need to add water softener salt. However the water hardness level must still be programmed.

In areas where the water hardness fluctuates (example 37 - 50 °d [39 - 52 gr/gal]) always program the machine to the higher value (in this example 50 °d [52 gr/gal]).

If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply.

￿Please note your water hardness: °d (gr/gal)

The water hardness was programmed to 15 °d (16 gr/gal) by factory default
