Prior to using for the first time

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.

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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel.

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

a) Setting manually

1.Open the dishwasher door.

2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see table).

4.Replace the lower basket.

b)Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1.Press the On/Off push button.

2.Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, until the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.

3.Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time the indicator light END starts to flash.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the indicator light END.

Example: 5 flashes = level 5

4.To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart).

Examples:

if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once, level 6 is selected.

if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once, level 1 is selected.

5.To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
