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. 6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme. Setting electronically The dishwasher is factory set at level 3. If it's necessary to set a new level, proceed as follows. 1. With the dishwasher switched off press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously . 2. While keeping the push buttons 1 and 2 pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of push buttons 1 and 2 start flashing. 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, Clarke degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million). 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. If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. SO568 3. Press push button 1, the indicator light of push button 2 turns off, while the indicator light of push button 1 remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener. 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. SO569 The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the indicator light of push button 1, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds. Example: 1 flash = 2 flashes = 3 flashes = 4 flashes = 5 flashes = level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5 4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes. Example: if the current level is 3, by pressing push button 1 once, level 4 is selected. if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once, level 1 is selected. The indicator light of push button 1 remains off for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new level selected. 5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 and electronically to 1 to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only. If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container. - In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 or 2 and electronically between 1 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the salt container only. Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways: q q If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty and the rinse aid indicator light deactivated. If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid. If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser. - In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated. 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 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. q Filling with rinse aid (Rinse aid dispenser type A) 1.
