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.
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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.
The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with the machine in setting mode.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
To select a different level proceed as follows:
1.Press "LIGHT" and "DELAY" push buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the display appears a "L" followed by a number which corresponds to the current level.
2.Press within 5 seconds the "DELAY" push button as many times as necessary until the required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time the button is pressed.
3.5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.
