comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

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,
German 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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
You may change the factory level setting by means of
the wash programme selector 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.
To set a different level proceed as follows:
1. Press "Intensive 70°" and "BIO 50°" programme
push buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
The indicator light corresponding to the current
level flashes.
2. Press within 5 seconds the programme push
button corresponding to the required level. After 5
seconds the dishwasher will memorise the new
level setting and will return to programme setting
mode.
The setting will remain memorised after switching
off the dishwasher.
