Before first use
PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate efficiently. Otherwi
-
se, 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 removed, and the water becomes soft,
for best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree of water hardness, the ions respon-
sible 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.

The importance of water descaling
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 devi-
ce, which may cause corrosion.

Add special salt
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 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.
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 dispenser.
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!
