Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions
. Remove all packa in 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
desi ned to remove minerals and salts from the
water supply, which would have a detrimental or
adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The hi her the content of these salts, the harder
your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
Clarke de rees, French de rees and PPM (parts per
Million).
The softener should be adjusted accordin 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 suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
To select a different level be sure that
the dishwasher is off and then proceed
as follows:
1. Press 70° 80Iand 65° pro ramme push buttons
simultaneously.
. Always keepin pressed the pro ramme push
buttons 70° 80Iand 65° switch on the dishwasher
by pressin the On/Off push button.
The On/Off indicator li ht comes on.
At the same time, also the indicator li ht of the
70° 80Ipush button comes on and remains fixed
for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashin
indicatin the current level of the water softener.

The current level is indicated by the number of
flashes made by the 70° 80Iindicator li ht, that
alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes,
this for about 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 chan e the level, press the 70° 80Ipro ramme
push button. Each time the push button is pressed
the level chan es.
Example:
If the current level is 3, pressin only one time the
70° 80Ipro ramme push button, level 4 is selected.
If the current level is 5, pressin only one time the
70° 80Ipro ramme push button, level 1 is selected.
The 70° 80Iindicator li ht remains off for about 5
seconds after which starts flashin indicatin the
new level selected.
4. To memorise the new level, switch off the
dishwasher by pressin the On/Off push button.
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 upwards.
From level 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.

35
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.
. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this
is necessary only before filling with salt for
the first time).
3. Usin the funnel provided, pour in the salt until
the container is full.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit
when fillin with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap makin sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw thread or on the asket.
5. Screw on the cap ti htly.
The salt container will require toppin up
periodically.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator li ht on
the control panel which comes on when the salt has
finished.
The salt indicator light on the control
panel can remain illuminated for -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.
