1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special
salt dispenser cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour salt.
3. Pour water into the dispenser until full. It is normal that a small
amount of water spills out of the special salt dispenser.
4. After you fill the dispenser, screw the cap on.
5. When you fil the dispenser with special salt, the add salt indicator
goes out.
6. Start the washing programme immediately after filling the dispenser
with special salt (the quick wash is recommended). Otherwise, salty
water can damage the filters, the pump or other important appliance
components This is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE:
•
Fill the special salt dispenser when the special salt indicator ( ) on
the control panel lights up. Depending on the rate of salt dissolution,
the special salt indicator may still be on even after filling the dispens-
er.
•
If there is no special salt indicator on the control panel (on some
models), you can estimate when to top up the dispenser based on
the number of wash cycles performed.
•
If some special salt spills, run the soaking programme or a quick
wash programme.
• Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers!
The test strip
The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore,
the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the
water supply. The dishwashing effectiveness is improved when the sys-
tem is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water
company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).
Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1,
etc.)
There are three types of detergents:
1. Containing phosphates and chlorine,
2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine,
3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine.
The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have
water softening properties, we recommend adding salt to the container
even if the water hardness is only 6°dH. If you use phosphate-free de-
tergent where water is hard, white residue may be visible on the dishes.
You can prevent this by increasing the amount of detergent. Chlorine-free
detergents have less bleaching effect. Stains may not be entirely re-
moved. Select the programme with a higher wash temperature.
Generally, using multi-component detergents suitable results are ob-
tained only under certain conditions. Such detergents contain rinse aid
and/or special salt in a specific amount. It is recommended to use special
salt when using multi-component tablets.
