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 2.
If the current level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.
In this case set the water softener at level 1 without using salt.
If the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 without the
use of salt, the "salt refill" indicator light on the control panel
will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched
on.
To adjust the water softener
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner
of the machine until the level required corresponds with the
marker.
Filling with salt
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:
●
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains
salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the
detergent compartment.
- In this case the water softener must be set to 1, to
ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent
container only.
●
If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately,
the special salt is to be put into the salt container.
- In this case the water softener must be set between 1
and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to
ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent
container only.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing
programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme).
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the "salt refill" indicator light on the
control panel which will illuminate when the salt has finished.
The "salt refill" indicator light on the control panel can
remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
