What to do before using the machine for the first timeWhat 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.

➁➁

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)

➀➀

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.

③③

Filling the regenerating salt reservoir

You must fill this, with water just before starting your first wash then add the salt:

Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good wash with no streaks. The salt regener-

ates the resins, which soften the water by removing its limestone content unless the water is already sufficiently soft (see “Adjusting the water softener”).

Salt reservoir

Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling, we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals to avoid oxidising the tub.

Never put detergent in this reservoir: this will ruin the

water softener.

- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and remove it.

- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt specially designed for dishwashers. (the funnel available from the after-sales department reference : 31X3964)

- On the first time, add water until it reaches the edge of the reservoir.

- Screw the salt reservoir’s stop back in fully.

Indication of the level of regenerating salt SALT indicator light:

This illuminates showing salt needs to be added. After you have refilled the salt reservoir, the light may still remain lit until the salt has dissolved sufficiently, generally after one cycle (or if the reservoir has not been completely filled, for

instance when putting the machine into operating using the sample.

Do not use kitchen salt.

If the water is especially soft and does not require the use of any regenerating

salt, the SALT light remains lit.

Adjustment (if necessary)

The original setting is in the middle (Medium position: setting 2). After a few cycles, if there are streaks or the drying is poor, you can adjust the setting using the adjustment lever:

- Setting 1 to reduce the dose, (soft water)

- Setting 3 to increase the dose

(hard water)

Adjustment lever

The rinse aid indicator light:

This illuminates showing rinse aid must be added.

Rinse aid

For easy loading, the detergent container is located on the front of the upper basket. The detergent container is designed to take tablets powder or liquid recommended for dishwasher use.

VERY IMPORTANT:

- For good wash results it is recommended to use individual detergent, salt and rinse aid products.

- However “2 in 1” tablets (detergent and rinse aid) can be used, if so, you may need to adjust the rinse aid dial according to the wash results (see page 8)

- Good wash results depend on getting the salt + rinse aid levels set correctly according to use level of water hardness

(see pages 6-8).

Tablets

Place the tablet in the compartment. underneath the top basket.

Only use the washing products specially designed for dishwasher use.

Powder or liquid Pull the container out to fill it with liquid detergent or powder.

Fill it up to the Minimum mark for lightly soiled items. Fill it up to the Maximum mark for dirty items. Close the container.

Keep all these products out of children’s reach and away from

any damp environments.
