Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Set the water softener
B. Pour 800 ml of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt.
C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
D. Fill detergent in.
A. Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a det-
rimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals
and salts, the harder the water is. The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the
water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your
area.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hard-
ness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption so
that the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows:
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following schema:

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
Water Softener
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits
will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salts
specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
B. Fill in the Salt into the Water Softener
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the follow-
ing:
ATTNTION
- Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of
damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is
liable for any caused damages.
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see figure to the side).
If necessary, rotate the ring in the anticlockwise direction from the "-" setting to-
wards the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
