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,
for example German, French degrees, and 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:
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper
front corner of the machine until the level required
corresponds with the marker.

Water hardness
*
If your water hardness is below level 1 it
is already soft and therefore there is no
need to use salt.
In this case adjust the water softener on
level 1 without using salt.

Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in dishwasher, specially
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. Then 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 floater is clearly visible when there is salt
inside the container, and almost disappears when
the salt has finished, reminding you to add salt.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last
rinse, ensuring through rinsing, spot and streak
free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned
inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid,
which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A)
anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is
completely full. The indicator (B) will be
completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid
department. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained,
adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6
position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage,
position 6 maximum dosage).
Start from position 3.
Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of
water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the
dishes.
