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.

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 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.

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.

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.

To fill:

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

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.
Do not worry if water over
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
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. Agreen

float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container,
and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding
you to add salt.
