Before use
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 half a 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,
German and French degrees.
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
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 turn the
selector on the upper left-hand corner of the machine
from position 1 to position 2.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments
must be made.
