What to do before using the machine for the first time
See Page 44 : symbol indi-
cating the level of regenerat-
ing salt:
This illuminates showing salt
needs to be added. After you
have refilled the salt reservoir, the
light may still remain lit until the
salt has dissolved sufficiently,
generally after one cycle (or if the
reservoir has not been completely
filled, for instance when putting
the machine into operating using
the sample.
If the water is especially
soft and does not require
the use of any regenerating
salt, the SALT light remains lit.
What to do before using the machine for the first time
STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener
For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.
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.
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.
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.
Hold down the
“Soak” button
and press the “Start
” button:
The water softener’s
setting is then shown
on the display.
The display shows the water hardness in accordance with the above
table. When first switched on, the display shows
(setting for 10 -
25°F).
To change the setting, press the “ Soak ” button as many times as
required to obtain the water softener setting recommended by the
testing strip.

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”).
Salt reservoir
Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling,
we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals
to avoid oxidising the machine.
Never put deter-
gent in this reser-
voir: this will ruin
the water softener.
- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and
remove it.
- Use the funnel to introduce the salt.
(available from the after-sales department
under reference : 31X3964).
- 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 kitchen salt.
