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.
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
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 blunt 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.
