Before first use
PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate efficiently. Other
-
wise, 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 regenerated to operate with the same efficiency during the
next wash. This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.

The importance of water descaling
Only use special salt intended for dishwashers.
Any other type of salt that is not intended for use in a dishwasher, especially regular
kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the use of
the wrong salt, the manufacturer’s warranty is void and we will not be liable for damage.
Fill with special salt before running the washing programme.
This will prevent spilled special salt or salty water from remaining on the bottom of the
device, which may cause corrosion.

Add special salt
Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers!
1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special salt dispenser cap.
2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour about 1.5 kg of salt.
3. Pour water into the dispenser until full. It is normal that a small amount of water spills out
of the special salt dispenser.
4. After you fill the dispenser, screw the cap on.
5. When you fil the dispenser with special salt, the add salt indicator goes out.
6. Start the washing programme immediately after filling the dispenser with special salt
(the quick wash is recommended). Otherwise, salty water can damage the filters, the pump
or other important appliance components This is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE:
Fill the special salt dispenser when the
special salt indicator on the control panel lights
up. Depending on the rate of salt dissolution, the special salt indicator may still be on even
after filling the dispenser.
If there is no special salt indicator on the control panel (on some models), you can estimate
when to top up the dispenser based on the number of wash cycles performed.
If some special salt spills, run the soaking programme or a quick wash programme.
