–Fill up the salt and rinse aid container.
–Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest level and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes.
–Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area.
–Adjust the rinse aid dosage
Set the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water soft- ener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a det- rimental 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.
