Before use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

ensure that the electrical and water 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 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.

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:

To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.

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).

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.

Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

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.
