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 dishwasher salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
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, Clarke
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 a programme push button indicator light is on, this means 
that a washing programme has been set. The programme 
must be cancelled: press simultaneously the function push 
buttons and 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 and 3, until 
the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1and 3
start flashing.
3. Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of 
function push buttons and turn off while the indicator 
light of the push button goes on flashing, at the same time 
the indicator light End of cycle starts to flash.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of 
the indicator light End of cycle (see chart).
Example: 5 flashes = 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 once, 
level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing push button once, 
level 1 is selected.
After about 5 seconds the indicator light of the function push 
button1 starts flashing, indicating the new selected level.
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.
