What to do before using the machine for the first time
STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener
For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.
The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks after washing and drying.
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates using regenerating salt.
You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water in your area.
- Measuring the water hardness
To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water hardness level and adjust on the machine as described below.
- Adjustment via the cursor inside the tub.
Adjust the setting using the cursor on the left-hand side inside the tub by positioning it correctly on the desired number, depending on the water hardness.

You must fill the salt reservoir with water before using the machine, even if the water softener setting selected
does not require any regenerating salt.
If you move house and take the dishwasher with you you will need to check the water hardness and adjust accordingly.
For good wash results it is very important to set the dishwasher to the correct level of water hardness and to set the correct level of rinse aid (see page 8)
