ing salt:
After you have refilled the salt
reservoir, this symbol may still
remain lit until the salt has dis-
solved sufficiently, generally after
one cycle (or if the reservoir has
not been completely filled, for
instance when putting the machine
into operation using the sample).
If the water is especial-
ly soft and does not require
the use of any regenerating salt, the
SALT light remains lit.

What to do before using the machine for the first time
You must fill the salt reservoir with water when star-
ting to use the machine, even if the water softener set-
ting selected does not require any regenerating salt.
If you move house, you will have to reset the water softener.
STEP 1: Adjusting the water softener
For impeccable washing and drying results with no streaks.
➀
➀
- Measuring the water hardness
To do this: contact your local water supplier to find out the water
hardness level
OR measure the water hardness at the tap using the “Aqua-test” test-
ing strip supplied with your dishwasher and refer to the table below to
find out the setting to select according to the water hardness.
The water softener must be adjusted correctly to ensure no streaks
after washing and drying.
Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softening system that operates
using regenerating salt.
You must set the water softener according to the hardness of the water
in your area.

Pressing the
“Drenching” and
“Start” buttons simul-
taneously shows the
water softener setting
on the display.
The display corresponds
to the water hardness
shown in the above table. To change the setting, press the “Drenching”
button as many times as required to obtain the setting recommended by
the testing strip.
When the machine is first switched on, the display shows
(the set-
ting for 18 - 25°F).

Filling the regenerating salt reservoir
You must fill this, with water just
before starting your first wash then
add the salt:
Filling with salt is essential to obtain a good
wash with no streaks. The salt regener-
ates the resins, which soften the water by
removing its limestone content unless
the water is already sufficiently soft
(see “Adjusting the water softener”).
Salt reservoir
Should any regenerating salt overflow when filling,
we recommend that you remove the loose salt crystals
to avoid oxidising the machine.
Never put deter-
gent in this reser-
voir: this will ruin
the water softener.
- Unscrew the salt reservoir’s stopper and
remove it.
- Use the funnel to introduce the salt.
(available from the after-sales department
under reference : 31X3964).
- Fill the reservoir with regenerating salt
specially designed for dishwashers.
- On the first time, add
water until it reaches the
edge of the reservoir.
- Screw the salt reservoir’s stop
back in fully.
Do not use kitchen salt.
