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
T he 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.

|
|
| |
1 flash | = | level 1 |
|
| |
2 flashes | = | level 2 |
|
| |
3 | flashes | = | level 3 |

Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.
To select a different level be sure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows:
1. | Press | 1 | and | 3 | programme push buttons simultaneously. |
|
| ||
2. | While keeping the programme push buttons | 1 and | 3 |
| |||||
| pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the |
| On/Off | ||||||
| push button .The |
| On/Off | indicator light comes on. |
|
| |||
| At the same time the programme push buttons | 1 | and | 3 | |||||
| start flashing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| ||
3. | Press the push button |
| 1 , the indicator light of the push |
|
| ||||
| button | 3 | turns off, while the indicator light of the push |
