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.
Setting the water hardness range
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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator light on the
control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt indicator light will
illuminate only in setting mode and at the end of the washing programme.
While the programme is running it will remain off.
