Safety precautions
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
䡲
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Before using for the first time
䡲
The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work
should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
䡲
Fill the salt reservoir of the water softener with approximately 1.5 l water
and 1 kg regeneration salt.
䡲
Mix the salt solution well using a wooden spoon.
䡲
It is advisable to run a wash programme without any dishes (
pro-
gramme with detergent) in order to remove traces of grease left behind
from the manufacturing process.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please therefore
follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.
For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use
with low water hardness and 3in1 detergents.
The appliance was tested with water before being shipped. There may
therefore still be traces of water left in the appliance.
