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.
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.

- Adjustment via the cursor inside the tub.
Adjust the setting using the cursor on the left-hand side inside the
tub by positioning it correctly on the desired number, depending on
the water hardness.
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 with 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.
