comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

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, 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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
You may change the factory setting level by means of
the wash programme selector buttons. each button
corresponds to a different level.
The adjustment of the water softener is
possible only with the machine switched off.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
1. Press and keep pressed the "programme start"
push button, simultaneously press the "On/Off"
push button. Always keeping pressed the
"programme start" push button, after about 5
seconds an audible signal is heard and the
indicator light corresponding to the current level
illuminates.
2. To select a different level press the "delay start"
push button as many times as necessary until the
programme indicator light corresponding to the
required level illuminates.
3. 5 seconds after having last pressed the "delay
start" push button, the dishwasher memorises the
level selected and returns to the programme
setting mode.

Water hardness
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.
