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.

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 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
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.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
In this case adjust the water softener on
level 1 without using salt.
The salt indicator light on the control
panel will always remain illuminated
when the machine is switched on.
