Before Use; Setting The Water Hardness - Zanussi IT 5614 Instruction Booklet

Before use

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 half a 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.
You may change the factory level setting by means of
the wash programme selector push buttons. each
push button corresponds to a different level.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
1. Press the "Normal 65°" and "Quick 55°"
programme push buttons simultaneously until you
hear the audible signal of "instruction accepted".
The pilot light corresponding to the current level
flashes.
2. Press the programme push button corresponding
to the required level.
3. 5 seconds after the last pressure of a push button,
the dishwasher will memorise the new level setting
and will return to programme setting mode.

If your water hardness is below level 1 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 off.
