4. 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.
4.2 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.
4.3 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).

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.
