Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1.

Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply 
with the installation instructions

2.

4.

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
degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).

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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
