Before fi rst use
Before you put your dishwasher into operation:
a) set water softening;
b) pour 3/4 litre of water into the salt compartment and fi ll it up with salt;
c) fi ll the rinsing aid compartment;
d) fi ll the dishwashing detergent compartment.
Water softener
The water softener is made so that it releases minerals and salts contained in water, which would have
a negative eff ect on the operation of the dishwasher. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the
harder the water is. You should set the water softener according to the water hardness in your area. Information
about water hardness in your area should be provided by your water supply company.
If you use hard water in your dishwasher, scale deposits will be left on your dishes, which may negatively aff ect
the washing effi
ciency and lifetime of your dishwasher.
The appliance should be equipped with a special softener, which uses the salt compartment for salt specifi cally
designed for eliminating scale and minerals from water.
Identifying water hardness
The dish washing effi ciency of your dishwasher depends on the hardness of the water used. Therefore, your
dishwasher is equipped with a system which reduces water hardness at the main water inlet. The better the
system is set up the better the achieved washing effi
ciency. Your water supplier should provide you with
information about water hardness in your area or you may measure it yourself using a simple harness test,
a special testing strip (not included).
Take the
testing
strip out
of the
packaging. Allow your
tap water
to fl ow
over the
strip for
approxi-
mately
1 minute. Leave the
testing strip
dipped in
the water
for approxi-
mately
1 second. Take it out of
the water and
tap it. Wait
approxi-
mately
1 minute
for the
result. Compare the hardness value on the
strip to the hardness table supplied
with the testing strip.

Setting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to enable the adjustment of salt consumption on the basis of the hardness of the
water used. This should optimise and adapt the level of salt consumption.
