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. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill

with salt.

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, German
degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).
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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function
push buttons on the control panel.

a) Setting manually

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see

table).

4. Replace the lower basket.

The dishwasher is factory set
at position 2.

b)Setting electronically

(The dishwasher must be switched off)

The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1. Press the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light

illuminates (setting mode).
If other indicator lights are on (except salt and rinse aid
indicator lights if refilling is needed), this means that a
washing programme has been set. The programme must
be cancelled: press simultaneously the function push
buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds. All the indicator

lights

will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and
eventually salt and rinse aid indicator lights) indicating that
the set programme has been cancelled and the machine is
now in setting mode.

2. Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, until

the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3
start flashing.

3. Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of

function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator
light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, the digital
display indicates the current level.

Example:

= level 5

4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the

push button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection
of the new level see the chart).

Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once,
level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once,
level 1 is selected.

5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by

pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds
after which the dishwasher will automatically return to
setting mode.
