Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply 

with the installation instructions

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3. Set the water softener

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill 

with dishwasher salt

5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser

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 minerals and 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 option
selection 
push button: option WATER HARDNESS.

a) Setting manually

1. Open the dishwasher’s door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see 

table).

4. Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set
at position 2.

b) Setting electronically

Follow the instructions given in the paragraph "The control
panel", how to set the various options. 

Press more times the option selection button until WATER
HARDNESS 
is displayed; with the help of the below chart, set
