BEFORE FIRST USE
1.
Make sure that the set level of the
water softener agrees with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust
the water softener. Contact your lo-
cal water authority to know the wa-
ter hardness in your area.
2.
Fill the salt container.
3.
Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4.
Open the water tap.
5.
Processing residues can stay in the
appliance. Start a programme to re-
move them. Do not use detergent
and do not load the baskets.
If you use the combi detergent
tablets, activate the multitab
function. These tablets contain
detergent, rinse aid and other
added agents. Be sure that
these tablets are applicable to
the water hardness in your area.
Refer to the instructions on the
packaging of the products.
ADJUSTING THE WATER
SOFTENER
Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these miner-
als.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water
softener clean and in good conditions.
Refer to the table to adjust the water
softener to the right level. It makes sure
that the water softener uses the correct
quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
You must adjust the water soft-
ener manually and electronical-
ly.
