consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
The consumption values are intended
as a guide. They depend on the

When the appliance is first installed
Before using the appliance 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. 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.
4. Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container
and then fill with dishwasher salt.
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Open the water tap.
7. Processing residues can remain in the
appliance. To remove these residues, start a
washing programme without loading the
baskets and without using detergent.
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.
