PREPARE THE APPLIANCE
FOR OPERATION
Before first use
•
Before using the appliance, verify that the data given on the rating
plate matches that of local power outlets.
•
Remove all packing materials from inside of the appliance.
•
Prepare special salt (water softener).
• Pour water into the special salt dispenser and then add special salt
(dishwasher salt).
•
Pour rinse aid into the dispenser.
The importance of water descaling
A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to oper-
ate efficiently. Otherwise, white residue main remain on the dishes and
inside the appliance. This has a negative impact on the quality of dish-
washing, rinsing and drying. When the water flows through the softener,
ions responsible for the water hardness are removed, and the water
becomes soft, for best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree
of water hardness, the ions responsible for water hardness accumulate
quickly inside the water softener. Therefore, the water softener must be
regenerated to operate with the same efficiency during the next wash.
This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.
Add special salt
Only use special salt intended for dishwashers.
Any other type of salt that is not intended for use in a dishwasher, espe-
cially regular kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event
of damage caused by the use of the wrong salt, the manufacturer’s war-
ranty is void and we will not be liable for damage.
Fill with special salt before running the washing programme.
This will prevent spilled special salt or salty water from remaining on the
bottom of the device, which may cause corrosion.
