•Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the
installation instructions for the machine.
•Open the door of the dishwasher.
•Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
•Set the water softener level. (See chapter of setting the water, model depending).
•Set the rinse aid dosage (See chapter of filling the rinse-aid and setting).
•Fill the salt container (see chapter of filling the dishwasher salt dispenser, model depending).
•Fill the rinse aid compartment. (See chapter of filling the rinse aid and setting).
•Place the dishes in accordance with the instructions in the user manual.
•Put adequate amount of detergent into the detergent dispenser. (See chapter of filling the
detergent).
•Make sure that the upper and lower impellers rotate freely.
•Select program according to amount of dirt (See chapter of Program table).

CAUTION: To prevent injuries, ensure that your hand is not jammed or crushed between the
door and appliance
WARNING: While the appliance is running, if you open the door, all functions are automatically
interrupted
CAUTION: There may be escape of hot steam when you open the door of your machine. Be
careful of getting injured.
Setting the Water Softener (Model Depending)
•The dishwasher needs soft water for good cleaning results. Hard water results in a build-up of
calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. Your dishwasher has a special water
softening system to remove the hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will
increase the washing effectiveness.
•Water supplies with a hardness level higher than 9 °f (French Water Hardness) needs to be
softened.
•If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 9 °f (French standard for water hardness)
or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use a filter and water purification
devices.
•The dishwasher is programmed at the factory setting level 1 (inactive) of water hardness. If this
setting corresponds to the hardness of your water, you do not need to do anything more.
•The dishwasher must be programmed for the water hardness in your area.
•To find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or Determine
water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.
WARNING: If you move to a different location, the level of water hardness will possibly be
different. It is essential to setting again the water hardness in order to obtain optimum washing
efficiency.

10
Test Strip (For Models With Water Softener)
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this
reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in the main water supply.
The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water
hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine water hardness
level by using the test strip (if available). Follow the steps in the image when use the test strip.
WARNING: If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 9 °f, werecommend that you
use filter and refinement devices.
