PART 5: BEFORE PUTTING INTO OPERATION
Before fi rst use
Before you put your dishwasher into operation:
a) set water softening;
b) pour 1/2 litre of water into the salt compartment and fi ll it up with salt;
c) fi ll the rinsing aid compartment;
d) fi ll the dishwashing detergent compartment.
Identifying water hardness
The dish washing effi ciency of your dishwasher depends on the hardness of the water used. Therefore, your
dishwasher is equipped with a system which reduces water hardness at the main water inlet. The better the
system is set up the better the achieved washing effi
ciency. Your water supplier should provide you with
information about water hardness in your area or you may measure it yourself using a simple harness test,
a special testing strip (not included).
Remove
the test-
ing strip
from the
packag-
ing. Allow tap
water to
fl ow over
the strip
for about
1 minute. Leave the
testing strip
dipped in the
water for ap-
proximately
1 second. Take it out of
the water and
tap it. Wait
approxi-
mately 1
minute for
the result. Compare the hardness value on the
strip to the hardness table supplied
with the testing strip.

Setting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to enable the adjustment of salt consumption on the basis of the hardness of the
water used. This should optimise and adapt the level of salt consumption.
We recommend to make these adjustments according to the following table:
Water hardness
level dH (German
unit) dF (French unit) dE (English unit) Water hardness setting indicator.
1 0 – 5 0 – 9 0 – 6 L1 will appear on the display.
2 6 – 11 10 – 20 7 – 14 L2 will appear on the display.
3 12 – 17 21 – 30 15 – 21 L3 will appear on the display.
4 18 – 22 31 – 40 22 – 28 L4 will appear on the display.
5 23 – 31 41 – 55 29 – 39 L5 will appear on the display.
6 32 – 50 56 – 90 40 – 63 L6 will appear on the display.
Set the water hardness according to the testing label.
