Water hardness varies according  
to where you live. If the water in  
your home is hard, without water  
softening, incrustations would  
form on your dishes. Your  
dishwasher is fitted with a water  
softener which uses special salt to  
get rid of limescale in the water.

Troubleshooting  
Caution  
- Do not forget that repairs should be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment  
damage, as well as danger to the user.  
- The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out.  
Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.  
Resolving minor problems yourself.  
Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having  
to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs but it also means the appliance is available for use again  
that much sooner. The following list of common occurences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of  
most problems.  
If the dishwasher won't  
start, check...  
Is the dishwasher plugged in at the  
electricitysocketandswitchedon?  
Isthereapowerfailure, checkother  
appliances.  
If the dishes fail to dry or  
remain dirty, check...
