Prior to using the machine for the first time
The importance of water decalcification
Filling with salt
• Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated
by the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
• Set the water softener.
• Add
1
kg salt into the salt compartment and fill with water up to a level at which it will
almost overflow.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water.
Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will
negatively affect your machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows
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 inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate 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.
Use softener salt specifically
produced for use in dishwashers. To
put softener salt, first remove the
lower basket and then open the salt
compartment cap by turning it
counter clockwise.1 2 At first fill the
compartment with
1
kg salt and
water3 at overflowing level If
available,using the funnel 4provided
will make filling easier. refit the cap
and close it.If the salt warning lamp
on the control panel becomes on fill
the salt compartment with salt again.
Fill the salt compartment with water
at first use only.
If you put a tablet into the salt
compartment, do not fill the
compartment completely.
We recommend that you use small-grained or powder softener salt.
Do not put table salt into your machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener compartment
may decrease over time. When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment gets filled
with water. Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine.
This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are
not going to wash any dishes immediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program
with an empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent corrosion ) to your machine
due to the salt overflow while filling in the salt container.
