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 PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should e 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 3.
If this level is not suita le for your area the softener should e
adjusted.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt
indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at
the end of the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.

The On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the "Intensive 70°"
and "Normal 65°" push uttons start flashing.
Press the "Intensive 70°" push utton, the indicator light of
the "Normal 65°" push utton turns off, while the indicator
light of the "Intensive 70°" push utton remains fixed for
a out 5 seconds and then starts to flash indicating the
current level.
The current level is indicated y the num er of flashes
made y the "Intensive 70°" indicator light, that alternates 5
seconds off with a num er of flashes, this continues for
a out 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5
3. To change the level, press the "Intensive 70°" programme
push utton. Each time the push utton is pressed the level
changes.
Example:
If the current level is 3, y pressing the "Intensive 70°"
programme push utton once, level 4 is selected.
If the current level is 5, y pressing the "Intensive 70°"
programme push utton once, level 1 is selected.
The "Intensive 70°" indicator light remains off for a out 5
seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new

Filling with 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 spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt
container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only efore filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this y the salt indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
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 ta e longer to dissolve then
this can ta e longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
