Tricity Bendix BDW 60 Dishwasher User Manual


 
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
degrees, 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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt
indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at
the end of the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
