PART 3: PRIOR USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Set the water softener
B. Loading the salt into the softener
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Fill in detergent
A. Set the Water Softener
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, 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 the water is. 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.
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H0 to H7.
Salt is not required at the set value H0.
1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Close the door.
4. Switch on “Power” switch.
5. Hold down “Delay” button and then press “Program” button for 5 seconds. The buzzer rings one time and
H.. flashes on the digital display. (factory setting is H4)
To change the setting:
1. Press “Delay” button.
Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the value of H7 has been
reached, the display jumps back to H0 (off ).
2. Press “Program” button. The chosen setting has now been stored.
Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
