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 about 1.5 kg of 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 operate efficiently.
Otherwise, white residue main remain on the dishes and inside the appliance. This
has a negative impact on the quality of dishwashing, rinsing and drying. When the
water flows through the softener, ions responsible for the water hardness are re
-
moved, 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, especially regular
kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the
use of the wrong salt, the manufacturer’s warranty 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.
1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special salt dis-
penser cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour about 1.5 kg of 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.
