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.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
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
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 "ECO 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 "eco drying" 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 button
is pressed.
3. 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns
to the programme setting mode.

Water hardness
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.
