Operating instructions

Prior to using for the first time

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, German degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).

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 option selection button: option WATER HARDNESS.

Operating instructions

Filling with dishwasher 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 complete washing programmes.

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

To fill:

1.Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

2.Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

The salt refilling is indicated by a flashing message in the display

REFILL SALT.

This occurs only during the setting mode and at the end of the washing programme, during the progress of the washing programme the indication for salt refilling is not active.

The salt refilling indication can remain active from 2 to 6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
