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.
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 2.
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.
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.
