The water softener must be adjusted correctly
to ensure no streaks after washing and drying.
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening
system that operates using regenerating salt.
You must set the water softener according to
the hardness of the water in your area.
➀ ➀
- Measuring the water hardness
To do this: contact your local water supplier to
find out the water hardness level and adjust on
the machine as described below.
While holding down the “Auto” button, press
the “Start” button: the “Soak” or “Intensive”
programme light will illuminate –and either
flash or be permanently lit – to show the water
softener’s setting in accordance with the above
table.
When the machine is first switched on, the
setting is 10 - 25°F (“Soak” light permanently
lit).
To change the setting, press the “Auto” button
repeatedly until you reach the water softener
setting recommended by the testing strip.
You must fill the salt reservoir with water
before using the machine, even if the water
softener setting selected does not require
any regenerating salt.
If you move house and take the
dishwasher with you, you will need to
check the water hardness and adjust
accordingly.
For good wash results it is very important
to set the dishwasher to the correct level
of water hardness and to set the correct
level of rinse aid (see page 6)

Filling the regenerating salt reservoir
You must fill this, with water just before
starting your first wash then add the salt:
Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good
wash with no streaks. The salt regenerates
the resins, which soften the water by removing
its limestone content unless the water is already
sufficiently soft (see “Adjusting the water
softener”).

this will ruin

Salt reservoir
- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and
remove it.
- Use the funnel to introduce the salt.
available from the after-sales department
under reference : 31X3964.
- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt
specially designed for dishwashers.
- On the first time, add water until it
reaches the edge of the reservoir.
- Screw the salt reservoir’s stop back in fully.
Do not use kitchen salt.
Should any regenerating salt overflow
when filling, we recommend that you
remove the loose salt crystals to avoid
oxidising the tub.
If the water is especially soft and does not
require the use of any regenerating salt,
the salt light remains lit.
