4/ WHAT TO DO BEFORE FIRST USING THE MACHINE
3/ INFORMATION
Important:
To obtain impeccable washing and
drying results from your dishwasher without
any marks, you must set it carefully using the
water softening system, which utilises rege-
nerating salt (rock salt).
- Use the most suitable washing products for
the hardness of your town’s water supply.
- There are several types of products:
As rainwater infiltrates into the ground it picks
up mineral salts; some minerals are found in
solid form and are commonly called ‘lime’.
This reduces the detergent’s washing perfor-
mance and leaves white marks on the
crockery.
The more lime there is in the water, the ‘harder’
the water is.
For an impeccable clean, opt for
using traditional products together:
①
①
Washing product
for a perfect clean
(standard powder, liquid or tablets).
②
②
Regenerating salt (rock salt)
for
your dishwasher’s water softener to work
correctly.
③
③
Rinsing liquid
to assist drying and eli-
minate drip marks.
Important:
Never use normal washing-up liquid.
For ease of use and in certain water
hardness conditions only (< 25°F),
multi-purpose products
can make the
use of regenerating salt and rinsing liquid
unnecessary.
• “Two-in-one” tablets
contain deter-
gents and rinsing liquid or an agent serving
the function of the salt.
• “Three-in-one” tablets
contain
detergents and rinsing liquid as well as an
agent serving the function of the salt.
• “Four-in-one” tablets
also contain
additives that prevent wear on poor quality
glasses or the risk of stainless items corro-
ding.
Important:
Follow the instructions in the user’s
manual and the recommendations on the
multi-purpose detergent’s pack.
NB:
If in any doubt, please contact the
detergent’s manufacturer if the items are
very wet at the end of the programme or if
chalky deposits appear.

In one simple action, you can test the your water’s lime content using the testing strip supplied with
your dishwasher. Alternatively, contact your local water utility to ascertain your water’s hardness.
— Let the water run from the tap for a few moments.
— Fill a glass with water.
— Take the test strip from its holder and immerse it for 3 seconds.
— Wait 1 minute, shake it and look at the colours to ascertain your water’s hardness.
• MEASURE THE WATER HARDNESS AND SELECT THE TYPE OF DETER-
GENT: TRADITIONAL OR MULTI-PURPOSE
