The water softener
At the same time, the End indicator light starts flashing.
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 minerals and salts, the harder
your water is.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of
the End indicator light and a pause of about 5 seconds (see
chart).
Example: 5 flashes + pause + 5 flashes etc...= level 5
2. To change the level, press the Start/Cancel button.
Each time this button is pressed the level changes. (For the
selection of the new level, see chart).
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees, French degrees (TH°) and mmol/l (millimol per litre -
international unit for the hardness of water).
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.
Examples:
If current level is 5, by pressing the Start/Cancel button
once, level 6 is selected.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using
the water hardness dial and electronically, using the
programme selector dial and the Start/Cancel button.
If current level is 10, by pressing the Start/Cancel button
once, level 1 is selected.
The End indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds and
then starts flashing indicating the new set made.

Filling with dishwasher salt
Rinse aid
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
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.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
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.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
