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
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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
You may change the factory setting level by means of the
wash programme selection push buttons. Each button
corresponds to a different level
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.
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 NORMAL 65°c and QUICK 50°c programme push
buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The indicator
light of the programme corresponding to the current level
flashes.
2. Press within 5 seconds the programme push button
corresponding to the required level you want to select.
3. 5 seconds after a programme push button has last been
pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and
returns to the programme setting mode.
Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on
the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer.
The function of the machine is not affected.
