ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions

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,
for example German and French degrees.
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.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
- Press the On/Off pushbutton on.
- Press the "programme selector" and
"delay start" buttons simultaneously for
about 5 seconds. In the display appears L4
corresponding to the current level.
- Press the "delay start" button as many
times as necessary to make the required level
appear in the display. The level increases by 1
each time the button is pressed.
- 5 seconds after this button has last been
pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level
selected and returns to the programme setting
mode.
