If you want to use combi detergent tablets ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... ) follow the instructions given in "Use of detergent".
Set 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 (°dH), French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

if the current level is 10, by pressing start/cancel button once, level 1 is selected.
5.To memorize the operation, switch off the dishwasher by returning the programme knob to the Off position.
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 the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
