Before use
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.
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 in equivalent scales, Clarke,
French degrees and 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 1 it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
Only for dishwasher models with salt
refill indicator light:
if the water softener has been adjusted on level 1
without use of salt, the salt refill indicator light on the
control panel will always remain illuminated when the
machine is switched on.

Filling with salt
Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed
for use in dishwasher, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting a washing
programme (not the Rinse and Hold programme).
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine, which may cause
corrosion.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
According to the model, an indicator reminds you when
filling with salt:
A) The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre.
A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside
the container, and almost disappears when the salt has
finished reminding you to add salt.
B) A salt indicator light on the control panel will come on
when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can
remain illuminated for 2-6 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.
1. 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.
4. Remove any trace of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
