Softening the water
Adjusting the water softener
The water softener should be properly
adjusted to optimise salt consumption and for
best washing results.
• Adjust the water softener following the
instructions using the table below.
• Check the hardness of the water by
contacting your water supplier giving your
address and postcode.
• Your water supplier will be able to give the
water level hardness as detailed in the chart.
For example if your water supply is 25°, the
green cursor on the dial on the left hand
inner side of your dishwasher should be
positioned in front of figure 4.
• Consult your fitter for water that is more
than 28° (position 5)
If you move or your water supply changes,
adjust the water hardness settings. Check with
your local water company.

Filling the container with regenerating
salt (fig. 5)
It is recommended to use dishwasher salt only
and not to use detergents that include salt
within them.
Filling with salt is essential for the regeneration
of the resins that soften the water so removing
the hardness from it, except if the water supply
is already sufficiently soft. (see "Adjusting the
water softener).
You should fill just before starting the
programme.
1 - Unscrew and remove the salt container cap.
2 - Use a funnel to pour: fill the container with
regenerating salt specially designed for
dishwashers.
3 - The first time, fill up with water up to the
top of container.
Screw down the salt container cap again
properly
Important: If adjusting the water softener does
not require the addition of regenerating salt
(position 1), you should nevertheless fill the
salt container with water before using.
Never pour detergent into the container,
you will destroy the water softener

Adding the rinse aid
It is recommended to use rinse aid only and
not to use detergents that include rinse aid
within them.
Rinsing product is necessary as it avoids
stains on the dishes and makes drying easier.

If the product overflows during filling, remove
the excess with a sponge to avoid foam
forming.
Adding the detergent
It is recommended to use detergent powder/liquid
or tablets only and not to use detergents that
include rinse aid or salt within them.
The washing product container has been
placed in front of the upper basket to make the
machine easier to fill. This means that you can
load the washing powder without bending
down or completely opening the door.
The distributor offers you a choice between using tablets or powder
or liquid detergent.
Before starting the programme :
put the tablet in the upper compartment.
Put the tablet in the outside compartment. Using tablets is
particularly recommended for the Eco programme and for full loads
of dishes.

Pull the container to fill with washing powder or liquid and fill
up to:
Minimum setting for slightly dirty dishes
Maximum setting for dirty dishes
Close the container
VERY IMPORTANT: keep all products out of the reach of
children and away from humidity.

several cycles, you may if necessary adjust the
dosage using the selector:
Soft water: level 1 to reduce the dose
Hard water: level 3 to increase it.
