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,
Clarke degrees and French degrees.
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 dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
You may change the factroy setting level by means of
the wash programme selector buttons. each button
corresponds to a different level.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
1. Press "NORMAL 65°c" and "QUICK 50°c"
programme push buttons simultaneously for about
5 seconds until the short signal "instruction
accepted" is heard. The indicator light
corresponding to the current level flashes.
2. Press the programme push button corresponding
to the required level.
3. 5 seconds after having last pressed any of the
programme push buttons, the dishwasher
memorises the level selected and returns to the
programme setting mode.

Water hardness
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
illuminated.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
