The control panel

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 degrees, 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 3.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

To select a different level be sure that

the dishwasher is off and then proceed

as follows:

1. Press 70° 80

and 65° programme push buttons

simultaneously.

2. While keeping the programme push buttons

70° 80

and 65° pressed switch on the

dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

The On/Off indicator light comes on.

At the same time, the indicator lights of the

70° 80

and 65° push buttons start flashing.

Press the 70° 80

push button, the indicator light

of the 65° push button turns off, while the

indicator light of the 70° 80

push button remains

fixed for about 5 seconds and then starts to flash

indicating the current level

The current level is indicated by the number of

flashes made by the 70° 80

indicator light, that

alternates 5 seconds off with a number of

flashes, this continues for about 60 seconds.

Example:

1 flash = level 1

2 flashes = level 2

3 flashes = level 3

4 flashes = level 4

5 flashes = level 5

3. To change the level, press the 70° 80

programme push button. Each time the push

button is pressed the level changes.

Example:

If the current level is 3, by pressing the 70° 80

programme push button once, level 4 is selected.

If the current level is 5, by pressing the 70° 80

programme push button once, level 1 is selected.

The 70° 80

indicator light remains off for about 5

seconds after which it starts flashing indicating

the new level selected.

4. To memorise the new level, switch off the

dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

If your water is level 1 it is already soft

and therefore there is no need to use salt.

With the setting of the water softener at

level 1 the salt indicator light on the

control panel will always remain off.

Use salt from level 2 upwards.

From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is

necessary, the salt indicator light will

illuminate only in setting mode and at the

end of the washing programme.

During the run of the programme it will

remain off.

SO397

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.

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.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on

the control panel which comes 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.
