BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Preparing your Dishwasher for first use
•
Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values
indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
•
Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
•
Set the water softener level.
•
Fill the rinse aid compartment.
The importance of water decalcification
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, dry
ing 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.
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 compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2)
At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost overflowing. If
available, using a funnel (4) will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every
20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).
Only add water to the salt compartment on first use
Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the
softener salt in prior to starting your machine.
If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a
short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.
