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

NOTE:

If you want to use the "3 in 1" combi detergents, read
carefully the informations given in "Different kinds of
detergents".

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, by the means of the
programme selection/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 is factory set at level 5. 

1. With the dishwasher switched off, press the  On/Off button. 

The end of programme indicator light flashes (setting 
mode).
In case salt and/or rinse aid refilling is necessary the 
corresponding indicator lights illuminate.

If one of the washing programme indicator lights is on, this
means that a washing programme has been set. 
The setting must be cancelled: press for about 3 seconds
the programme selection/cancel button; the indicator 
light of the set programme turns off and the end of 
programme 
indicator light flashes, indicating that the set 
programme has been cancelled and that the machine is 
now in setting mode.

2. Press and keep pressed the programme selection/cancel 

button until programme indicator light flashes and 
programme indicator light illuminates with a fixed light.
Wait until programme indicator light turns off, programme 
indicator light goes on flashing and simultaneously the 
end of programme indicator light starts flashing.
This indicates that you have activated the electronic setting 
function of the water softener. 

The current level is indicated by a sequence of flashes of 
the end of programme indicator light, a sequence of 
intermittent audible signals and a pause of a few seconds
(see chart).
Example: 5 flashes/5 audible s pause + 
5 flashes/5 audible signals etc...= level 5

3. To change the level, press the programme 

selection/cancel button.
Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the 
selection of the new level, see chart).

Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing the programme 
selection/cancel 
button once, level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing the programme 
selection/cancel 
button once, level 1 is selected.

The end of programme indicator light remains off for a few 
seconds and then starts flashing indicating the new 
selection is set.

4. To memorise the operation, switch off the machine by 

pressing the On/Off button or wait for about 60 seconds, 
after which the machine will automatically return to setting 
mode.
