. BEFORE USING

THE APPLIANCE

4

.1.  Preparing your 

dishwasher for first use

• Make sure the electricity and supply

water specifications match the values

indicated in the installation instructions

for the machine.

• Remove all packaging material inside

the machine.

• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

.2 Salt usage (IF AVAILABLE)

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.
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.

.3.  Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)

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).

SAL

T

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.
