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.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing programmes.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

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 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.

		Water hardness
Level		PPM			Use of
		(Parts per Million)			salt
0	0 - 80				NO
1	81 - 200				YES
2	201		- 400		YES
3	401		- 600		YES
4	601		- 800		YES
5	801 - 900				YES

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.

To adjust the water softener

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level required corresponds with the marker.

To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.

	only before filling with salt for the first time).
3.	Using the funnel provided,
	pour in the salt until the		SALET
	container is full.		SAL
			SALZ
	Do not worry if water over		SEL
	flows from the unit when
	filling with salt, this is quite
	normal.
4. Replace the cap making
	sure that there is no trace
	of salt on the screw thread	SR06
	or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A		green
float	is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container,
and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding
you to add salt.
