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 dishwasher salt

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser

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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

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 dial and electronically, using the option selection button: option WATER HARDNESS.

a) Setting manually

1.Open the dishwasher’s door.

2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

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

4.Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

b) Setting electronically

Follow the instructions given in the paragraph "The control panel", how to set the various options.

Press repeatedly the option selection button until WATER HARDNESS is displayed; with the help of the below chart, set the level corresponding to hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set al level 5.
