Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Set the water softener
B. Add 1.5Kg dishwasher salt and then full fill the salt container with water
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
D. Fill in detergent
A. Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial. The water softener is designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water, 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.
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.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness
of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level o f salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure on the
side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from
the "-" Setting toward the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the
water being used. It is recommended that adjustments should be
made in accordance with the following scheme:
Note 1
°dH = 1.25
°Clarke = 1.78
°fH = 0.178mmol/l
°dH = German degree
°fH = French degree
°Clarke = British degree
Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
Note 2
/ = No salt need added
– = Setting toward the"-" sign
+ = Setting toward the"+" sign
Mid = Setting toward between the "-" sign and "+" sign
