Audible signals
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate
which operations the dishwasher is performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed (except for the
On/Off push button), a short audible signal informs you that
the machine has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audible signal informs you that the washing
programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
"Alarm" intermittent signal
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help
you determine the cause of any problems (see "Something
not working"). An intermittent audible signal (for at least 15
seconds) informs you that an alarm is activated.
To deactivate these audible signals, press the "Delay start"
push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an
intermittent audible signal informs you that the audible signals
have been deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press the "Delay start"
push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an
intermittent audible signal informs you that the audible signals
have been reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) must be carried out before a washing programme
performance.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off the
dishwasher.
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 salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
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, German,
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 dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area, the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
