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,
Clarke 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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
The adjustment of the water softener is
possible only with the machine in setting
mode.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
1. Press "HALF LOAD" and "DRY" push buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the
display appears a "L" followed by a number
which corresponds to the current level.
2. Press within 5 seconds the "DRY" push button
(the NO DRY indicator light flashes) as many
times as necessary until the required level
appears in the display. The level increases by 1
each time the push button is pressed.
3. 5 seconds after this push button has last been
pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level
selected and returns to the programme setting
mode.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at
level 0 the salt indicator light on the
control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
