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, Clarke
degrees, 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.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness dial and electronically, using the
programme selector dial and the start/cancel button.
a) Setting manually
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set
at position 2.
b) Setting electronically
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. Keep the start/cancel button pressed and turn the
programme selector dial clockwise until the programme
selection marker corresponds with the first washing
programme.
The On/Off and start/cancel indicator lights start to flash
indicating that you have activated the water softener setting
function.
At the same time, the END indicator light starts flashing.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of
the END indicator light and a pause of about 5 seconds
(see chart).
Example: 5 f pause + 5 flashes etc...= level 5
2. To change the level, press the start/cancel button.
Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the
selection of the new level, see chart).
Examples:
If current level is 5, by pressing the start/cancel button
once, level 6 is selected.
If current level is 10, by pressing the start/cancel button
once, level 1 is selected.
The END indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds and
then starts flashing indicating the new set made.
3. To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by
returning the programme selector dial to the Off position,
that is the programme selection marker corresponds with
the On/Off indicator light.
Otherwise wait for about 60 seconds, after which the
dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.
