10 First use
First 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
●Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher
salt
●Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: ‘3 in 1’, ‘4 in 1’, ‘5 in 1’ etc...
set the 3 IN 1 function (see 3 IN 1 function).
Set 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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (°dH), 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.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water
hardness dial and electronically, using some of the programme buttons on the
control panel

First use
Filling with dishwasher salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage 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 bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may
cause corrosion.
TTooffiillll::
11..Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt
container by turning it anticlockwise.
22..Pour 1 litre of water inside the container
((tthhiissiissnneecceessssaarryyoonnllyybbeeffoorreeffiilllliinnggwwiitthh
ssaallttffoorrtthheeffiirrssttttiimmee)).
33..Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full.
44..Replace the cap making sure that there is
no trace of salt on the screw thread or on
the gasket.
55..Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise
until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain 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 this can
take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

14 First use
Filling with rinse aid
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.
11..Open the container by pressing the release
button (A).
22..Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by
‘max’.
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse
aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and
40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the
dosage setting.
117987640en_aus.qxp 5/9/2007 5:45 PM Pagina 14

15
First use
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid
by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6
maximum dosage).
The dose is factory set in position 4.
Increase the dose if there are drops of
water or lime spots on the dishes after
washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks
on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware
or knife blades.
33..Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excess foaming during the next wash.
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher
cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
