•
Make sure the electricity and supply water
specifications match the values indicated in
the installation instructions for the machine.
•
Remove all packaging material inside the
machine.
•
Set the water softener level.
•
Fill the rinse aid compartment.
For a good washing function, the
dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less
calcareous water. Otherwise, White lime
residues will remain on the dishes and the
interior equipment. This will negatively affect
your machine’s washing, drying and shining
performance. When water flows through
the softener system, the ions forming the
hardness are removed from the water and
the water reaches the softness required to
obtain the best washing result. Depending on
the level of hardness of the inflowing water,
these ions that harden the water accumulate
rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore,
the softener system has to be refreshed so
that it operates with the same performance
also during the next wash. For this purpose,
dishwasher salt is used.
Machine can only be used by special dish-
washer salt to soften the water. Do not use
any small grained or powdered type of salts
which can easily soluble. Using any other
type of salt can damage your machine.
To add softener salt, open the salt compart-
ment cap by turning it counter clockwise. (1)
(2) At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg
salt and water (3) until it is almost overflow-
ing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make
filling easier. Replace the cap and close it.
After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your
mach until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).
Only add water to the salt compartment
on first use.
Use softener salt specifically produced for
use in dishwashers.
When you start your dishwasher, the salt
compartment is filled with water, therefore
put the softener salt in prior to starting your
machine.
If the softener salt has overflowed and you
do not start the machine immediately, run
a short washing program to protect your
machine against corrosion.
