The consumption values are intended as a guide. They depend on the pressure and the temperature of the water, on the variations of the power supply and on the quantity of the dishes.
When the appliance is first installed
Before using the appliance for the first time:
•Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
•Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.
•Check if the factory set of the water softener complies with the water hardness in your area. If not, adjust the level of the water softener.
•Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt.
•Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
The water softener
The appliance 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, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
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.
