Before use
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, Clarke,
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.
You may change the factory level by means of the wash
programme selector push buttons.
Each push button corresponds to a different level.
Level 1 = programme push button 1
Level 2 = programme push button 2
Level 3 = programme push button 3
Level 4 = programme push button 4
Level 5 = programme push button 5
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 the ON/OFF push button and then press and keep
pressed simultaneously for about 5 seconds the push
buttons 3 and 5.
The indicator light corresponding to the current level
flashes.
2. Press the programme push button corresponding to the
required level.
3. 5 seconds after having last pressed any of the
programme push buttons, the dishwasher memorises the
level selected and returns to the programme setting
mode.
SO322
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and
therefore there is no need to use salt.
In this case adjust the water softener on level
1 without using salt.
Only for dishwasher models with salt refill
indicator light:
if the water softener has been adjusted on
level 1 without use of salt, the salt refill
indicator light on the control panel will always
remain illuminated when the machine is
switched on.
