STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener
For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.
The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks
after washing and drying.
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates
using regenerating salt.
You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water
in your area.
➀ ➀
- Measuring the water hardness
To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water
hardness level and adjust on the machine as described below.

To change the setting, press the "Soak" button as many times as
required to obtain the water softener setting recommended by the
testing strip.
You must fill the salt reservoir with water before using
the machine, even if the water softener setting selected
does not require any regenerating salt.
If you move house and take the dishwasher witch you you will
need to check the water hardness and adjust accordingly.
For good wash results it is very important to set the dishwasher
to the correct level of water hardness and to set the correct
level of rinse aid.

Filling the regenerating salt reservoir
You must fill this, with water just
before starting your first wash then
add the salt:
Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good
wash with no streaks. The salt regener-
ates the resins, which soften the water by
removing its limestone content unless
the water is already sufficiently soft
(see "Adjusting the water softener").
- Unscrew the salt reservoir's stopper and
remove it.
- Use the funnel to introduce the salt.
- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt
specially designed for dishwashers.
- On the first time, add water until it
reaches the edge of the
reservoir.
- Screw the salt reservoir's
stop back in fully.
Do not use kit-
chen salt.
Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling,
we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals
to avoid oxidising the tub.
