4. BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE
4.1 Preparing your dishwasher
for first use
• Make sure the electricity and supply
water speci
fi
cations match the values
indicated in the installation instruc-
tions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging material inside
the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
4.2 Salt usage
For a good washing function, the dish-
washer needs soft, i.e. less calcareous
water. Otherwise, White lime residues
will remain on the dishes and the in-
terior equipment. This will negatively
a
ff
ect your machine’s washing, drying
and shining performance. When water
fl
ows through the softener system, the
ions forming the hardness are removed
from the water and the water reaches
the softness required to obtain the best
washing result. Depending on the level
of hardness of the in
fl
owing water, these
ions that harden the water accumu-
late rapidly inside the softener system.
Therefore, the softener system has to
be refreshed so that it operates with the
same performance also during the next
wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt
is used.
Machine can only be used by special
dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do
not use any small grained or powdered
type of salts which can easily soluble.
Using any other type of salt can damage
your machine.
Fill the salt
To add softener salt, open the salt com-
partment cap by turning it counter clock-
wise.

At
fi
rst use,
fi
ll the compart-
ment with 1 kg salt and water
(3)
until it
is almost over
fl
owing. If available, using
a funnel
(4)
will make
fi
lling easier. Re-
place the cap and close it. After every
20-30 Cycles add salt into your mach
until it
fi
lls up (approx. 1 kg).

SAL
T
Only add water to the salt
compartment on
fi
rst use.
Use softener salt speci
fi
cally produced
for use in dishwashers.
When you start your dishwasher, the salt
compartment is
fi
lled with water, there-
fore put the softener salt in prior to start-
ing your machine.
If the softener salt has over
fl
owed and
you do not start the machine immediate-
ly, run a short washing program to pro-
tect your machine against corrosion.
