Before first use
PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate efficiently.
Otherwise, white residue main remain on the dishes and inside the appliance. This
has a negative impact on the quality of dishwashing, rinsing and drying. When the
water flows through the softener, ions responsible for the water hardness are
removed, and the water becomes soft, for best dishwashing results. Depending on
the degree of water hardness, the ions responsible for water hardness accumulate
quickly inside the water softener. Therefore, the water softener must be regener-
ated to operate with the same efficiency during the next wash. This is why special
salt is used in the dishwasher.
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H0 to H7.
Salt is not required at the set value H0.
1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company
will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Close the door.
4. Switch on „Power” switch.
5. Hold down „ Delay” button and then press „Program” button for 5 seconds.The
buzzer rings one time and H flashes on the digital display.(factory setting is H4).
