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 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should
be adjusted.
To adjust the water softener
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front
corner of the machine until the level required corresponds
with the marker.

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.
