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 dishwasher salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
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 minerals and salts, the harder
your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees, French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre -
international unit for the hardness of water).
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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness dial and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
a)Setting manually
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set
at position 2.
b)Setting electronically
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. Press the On/Off button. All programme selection buttons
indicator lights will illuminate (setting mode).
If only one programme selection button indicator light is
illuminated, this means that a washing programme has
been selected.
The programme must be cancelled: press simultaneously
the function buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds, the
indicator light of the set programme button starts flashing
for about 2 seconds.
After about 2 seconds the indicator lights of all the
programme selection buttons will illuminate indicating that
the set programme has been cancelled and that the
machine is now in setting mode.
2. Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3, until the
indicator lights of the function buttons 1, 2 and 3 start
flashing.
3. Press the function button 1, the indicator lights of function
buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the button
1 goes on flashing, at the same time the END OF CYCLE
indicator light illuminates, along with a sequence of audible
signals.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of
the END OF CYCLE indicator light and of audible signals
heard.
Example:
5 flashes + 5 audible signals = level 5.
4. To change the level, press function button 1. Each time the
button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of
the new level see the chart).
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing function button 1 once,
level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing function button 1 once,
level 1 is selected.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off button or wait about 60 seconds after
which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting
mode.
