a) Setting manually
The dishwasher must be switched off.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

ble).

3
The electronic setting of the water softener is
possible ONLY with the Multi-tab function de-
activated.
1. Press the On/Off button.The On/Off indicator light and
all the programme indicator lights will illuminate (setting
mode).
If only one programme button indicator light is on, this
means that a washing programme is set.The programme
must be cancelled:
press simultaneously function buttons 1 and 2 for about 2
seconds. All programme indicator lights will illuminate in-
dicating that the set programme has been cancelled and
the machine is now in setting mode.
2. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and hold
them down.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
3. Press function button 1.
The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash.
The multi-display will indicate the hardness setting.
4. Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by
1.
(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).
Examples:
If the current level is 5, by pressing function button 1 once,
level 6 is selected.
If the current level is 10, by pressing function button 1 once,
level 1 is selected.
5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF but-
ton.
The hardness setting is now saved.
If the water softener is set electronically to “1”, this switches off
the control indicator for dishwasher salt.
Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dish-
washers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for
use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will dam-
age 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 spilt, remaining on the bot-
tom of the machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew
the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is neces-
sary only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the capacity of the
dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the size of
the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt
on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops
with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.You
are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the con-
trol panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can re-
main 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 it will take longer. The function of the
machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling
with salt, this is quite normal.
