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 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.

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 that the washing
programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
To deactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed both "Normal 65°" and "Bio 50°" push
buttons for about 3 seconds, until the short intermittent audible
signal is no longer heard, this means that the audible signals
have been deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously
and keep pressed both "Normal 65°" and "Bio 50°" push
buttons for about 3 seconds, until a short intermittent audible
signal is heard, this means that the audible signals have been
reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) must be carried out before starting a washing
programme; the setting will remain memorised after
switching off the dishwasher.
