John Lewis JLDWW 1201 - Manual (Page 7)

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 dishwasher salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
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 minerals and salts, the harder
your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees, French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre -
international unit for the hardness of water).
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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness dial and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.
a) Setting manually
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see
table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set
at position 2.
b) Setting electronically
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. Press the On/Off button.The On/Off indicator light
illuminates (setting mode).
I f other indicator lights are on, this means that a wash
programme has been selected.The programme must be
cancelled: press simultaneously the function buttons 2 and 3
for about 2 seconds. All the indicator lights will turn off (except
for the On/Off indicator light and eventually salt and rinse aid
indicator lights) indicating that the set programme has been
cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.
2. Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3, until the indicator
lights of the function buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.
3. Press the function button 1, the indicator lights of function
buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the button
1 goes on flashing, the digital display indicates the current level.
Exampel: = level 5
4. To change the level, press button 1. Each time the button
is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new
level see the chart).
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing button 1 once, level 6
is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing button 1 once, level 1
is selected.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off button or wait about 60 seconds
after which the dishwasher will automatically return to
setting mode.
