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.
To adjust the water softener
Level 1
If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
- slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of
the salt container;
- turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from
position - to position + with the aid of a blunt knife or
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must
be made.

Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed
for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of
the complete washing programmes (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 for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, 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.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt
on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
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.
