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.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt
5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6.Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
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, 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.
You may change the factory level by means of the wash programme selector push buttons.
Each push button corresponds to a different level.
Level 1 | = | programme push button | 1 |
Level 2 | = | programme push button | 2 |
Level 3 | = | programme push button | 3 |
Level 4 | = | programme push button | 4 |
Level 5 | = | programme push button | 5 |
The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with the machine in setting mode.
To select a different level proceed as follows:
1.Press the ON/OFF push button and then press and keep pressed simultaneously for about 5 seconds the push buttons 3 and 5.
The indicator light corresponding to the current level flashes.
2.Press the programme push button corresponding to the required level.
3.5 seconds after having last pressed any of the programme push buttons, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.
In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt.
Only for dishwasher models with salt refill indicator light:
if the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 without use of salt, the salt refill indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.
