the stated range for "Auto" programme (see
"Washing programmes chart").
During the "Auto" programme the temperature
of the main wash water is also automatically
adjusted between 45°C and 70°C depending
on the amount of soil on the dishes.
First use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water connec-
tions comply with the installation instructions
• Remove all packaging from inside the appli-
ance
• Set the water softener
• Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container
and then fill with dishwasher salt
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets such
as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multi-
Tab function (see "Multi-Tab function").
Set 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 det-
rimental 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 de-
grees (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/
l (millimol per litre - international unit for the
hardness of water).
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.
