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.fill the salt container

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, German, 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.

To select a different level proceed as follows:

-Press the On/Off pushbutton on.

-Press the "SELECTION" and "DELAY" buttons simultaneously for about 2 seconds. "L4" appears in the display which corresponds to the current level.

-Press the "DELAY" 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.

-5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.
