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 salt.
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
Setting 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 PPM (parts per Million).
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 dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is
no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with
the machine in setting mode.
9. "Delay start" push button
Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a
minimum of 1 hour, up to 12 hours.
10. "Cancel" push button
(See "Starting a washing programme")
Audible signals
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which
operations the dishwasher is performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed (except the
On/Off push button), a short audible signal informs you that
the machine has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audible signal informs you, once the door is
closed, that the washing programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
"Alarm" intermittent signal
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help
you determine the cause of any problems.
An intermittent audible signal for about 15 seconds informs
you that an alarm is activated.
To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed both "programme selection" and "drying
options" push buttons for about 3 seconds. During this time
an intermittent audible signal is heard at the end of which the
audible signals are deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed both "programme selection" and "drying
options" push buttons for about 3 seconds. During this time
no audible signal is heard. At the end of the 3 seconds an
intermittent audible signal starts, informing you that the audible
signals have been reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) can be carried out before starting a washing
programme or during a washing programme.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off the
dishwasher.
