Before Using Your Dishwasher For The First Time; Setting The Water Hardness Range - AEG ÖKO FAVORIT 64800 Operating Instructions Manual

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 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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.
