(See Section 5, / Detergent products and adjusting the water softener).
3/ INFORMATION Important: Important: Never use normal washing-up liquid. To obtain impeccable washing and drying results from your dishwasher without any marks, you must set it carefully using the water softening system, which utilises regenerating salt. For ease of use and in certain water hardness conditions only (<35°F), multi-purpose products can make the use of regenerating salt and rinse aid unnecessary.
4/ WHAT TO DO BEFORE FIRST USING THE MACHINE • MEASURE THE WATER HARDNESS AND SELECT THE TYPE OF DETERGENT: TRADITIONAL OR MULTI-PURPOSE In one simple action, you can test the your water’s lime content using the testing strip supplied with your dishwasher. Alternatively, contact your local water utility to ascertain your water’s hardness. — Let the water run from the tap for a few moments. — Fill a glass with water. — Take the test strip from its holder and immerse it for 3 seconds.
5/ DETERGENT PRODUCTS AND ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER • FOR TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS • Your machine must be specially adjusted to use traditional products. • To adjust the water softener using the control panel: Turn the selector switch to “Select”. The six indicators’ lights come on, meaning you are in adjustment mode. - Press the “Delay Timer” button once. The setting is indicated by the indicators’ lights flashing on and off (factory setting: 40 to 55°F).
5/ DETERGENT PRODUCTS AND ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENER • FOR MULTI-PURPOSE PRODUCTS : USING THE BUTTON • Your machine can be specially adjusted to use multi-purpose products if the water hardness is less than 25°F. Tip: Your dishwasher’s button adjusts to the wide range of multipurpose products. It has two possible settings, which you access via the Select.
6/ FILLING WITH REGENERATING SALT • Filling with regenerating salt (Fig 06) Filling with salt is essential for providing a good wash without marks. It regenerates the resins that soften the water, by removing its lime content (unless the mains water supply is soft enough). Refer to “Setting the water softener”. A Important : SSEalt L Only use special dishwasher regenerating salt. Do not use table salt or any type of cooking salt, this could damage your appliance’s water softener.
7/ FILLING WITH RINSE AID • Filling with rinse aid (Fig. 07) Important : Only use a rinse aid designed for dishwashers. The rinse aid ensures your items shine and are well dried. A A B When first putting the machine into service, fill the tank until the level is flush with the top of the adjustment lever. Pour in at least all the rinsing product provided.
