Before use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
☞ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation
instructions
☞remove all packaging from inside the appliance
☞set the water softener
☞fill the salt container
☞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 degrees and French degrees.
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.
If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. (In this case the salt refill indicator light will remain illuminated).
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.
You may change the factory setting level setting by means of the wash programme selector buttons. Each button corresponds to a different level (see chart).
☞To select a different level proceed as follows:
-Press the "NORMAL 65°c" and "QUICK 50°c" programme buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the short signal "instruction accepted" is heard. The pilot light corresponding to the current level (level 2) flashes very rapidly.
-Press the programme button corresponding to the required level.
-5 seconds after having last pressed any of the programme buttons, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.
