5. fill the rinse aid dispenser
6. run a rinse and hold programme after installation
before carrying out a wash programme for the first

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.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
- Press the On/Off pushbutton on.
- Press the "Half load" and "Economy drying" buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The indication
"L4" corresponding to the current level appears in
the display and the indicator of "ECO DRY" will
flash.
- Press the "Economy drying" button as many times as
necessary to make the required level appear in the
display. The level increases by 1 each time the button
is pressed.
- 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns
to the programme setting mode.
