Before use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

connections comply with the installation instructions

remove all packaging from inside the appliance

☞

set the water softener

☞

fill the salt container

☞

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 1. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

Filling with salt

If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

Salt must be used from level 1 upward. Only use salt specifically designed for use in

dishwashers. Other types of salt may reduce the efficiency of the

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:

☞

➀ To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt

container.

➁ Pour about 1 litre of water inside the container,

or until it is full (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

➂ Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt

until the container is full (approx. 1.5 - 1.8 kg). Do not worry if water over flows from the unit

when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

➃ Replace the cap making sure that there is no

trace of salt on the screw thread or on the

gasket. ➄ 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, (ie. every 30 - 50 washes depending on the setting of the water softener) reminding you to add salt.
