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,
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 "LIGHT" and "DELAY" 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.

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.
