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, 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 2.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

To adjust the water softener

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level required corresponds with the marker.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt.

The salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.
