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 this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
Adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt.
In this case the salt 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

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.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, 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.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
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 indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt 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.
