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.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
To adjust the water softener:
Level 1
If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.
Levels 3 and 5
(water softener adjustment)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
- slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container;
- turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from
position - to position + with the aid of a knife or
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5
(adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the
machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must
be made.
