Before washing for the
first time
Water supply
The machine can be connected to either a hot (max. 160 °F, 70
°C) or cold water supply. We recommend a cold water supply.
The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi. See also the section
Economic dishwashing in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Program key
Some dishwashers include program keys in different languages.
Attach the program key in the appropriate language to the top
of the door.
Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your
area. This is important to determine how much detergent and
rinse aid to use.
Top up with rinse aid
Drying is faster if you use rinse aid.
1 Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2 Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the level
marked
max
.
3 Wipe up any spilled rinse aid around the compartment.
4 Close the lid firmly.
Selecting the rinse aid dosage
Rinse aid dispensing can be set from
(Off) to
(High
dose). (Factory settings:
)
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have water marks.
Reduce the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
• If the dishes are streaked.
• Heavy foaming. If you have very soft water, the rinse aid can
be diluted 50:50 with water.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid dosage.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights
on the display.
NOTE!
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
