The consumption values are intended
as a guide. They depend on the
pressure and the temperature of the
water, on the variations of the power
supply and on the quantity of dishes.

When the appliance is first
installed

Before using the appliance for the first time:
• Ensure that the electrical and water

connections comply with the installation
instructions

• Remove all packaging from inside the

appliance.

• Check if the factory set of the water

softener complies with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust the
level of the water softener.

• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt

container and then fill with dishwasher
salt.

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

If you want to use combi detergent
tablets (e.g. 3 in 1, 4 in 1, 5 in 1) set
the Multi tab function. Refer to 'Multi
tab function'.

The water softener

The appliance 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 minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water
hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit
for the hardness of water).
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.
