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 fill the salt container
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.
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:
1 slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap
of the salt container;
2 turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from
position - to position + with the aid of a blunt
knife or a 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.
