PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
The importance of water descaling
A dishwasher requires soft water (with
low calcium content) to operate efciently.
Otherwise, 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 ows 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. There-
fore, the water softener must be regener-
ated to operate with the same efciency
during the next wash. This is why special
salt is used in the dishwasher.
i
Fill the salt container with water only before
rst use.
Do not add kitchen salt to the dishwasher. The salt
dispenser can degrade over time. When you start
a programme special salt dispenser is lled with
water. Therefore, you should pour the special salt
before starting the dishwasher.
Special salt will be washed away during the
dishwashing programme. If you pour the special
salt and do not intend to run a dishwashing pro-
gramme, run the quick programme with an empty
dishwasher in order to prevent corrosion.
Add special salt
Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. To
add special salt you must rst remove the lower
basket and then open the lid of the salt dispenser
by turning it counter clockwise - (1). Fill the special
salt dispenser (~ 1.5 kg of special salt) and water
Before rst use
Before using the appliance, verify
that the data given on the rating plate
matches that of local power outlets.
Remove all packing materials from
inside of the appliance.
Prepare special salt (water softener).
Add 2 kg special salt (intended for
dishwashers) to the salt dispenser and
ll it with water to the brim.
Pour into the rinse aid dispenser.
(2) using the supplied funnel (2). Replace and
close the lid. If the salt indicator on the control
panel lights up, rell the special salt dispenser.
i
The test strip
The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped
with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dishwashing effectiveness is
improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water
company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).
Open the
test strip
package
Open the
water tap for
1 min.
Immerse the
test strip in
the water for
1 second.
Once
removed
shake off
the residual
water
Wait 1 min.
Set the dishwasher water hardness in accord-
ance with the measurement made
Level 1 – no calcium
Level 2 – very small calcium content
Level 3 – small calcium content
Level 4 – medium calcium content
Level 5 – high calcium content
Level 6 - very high calcium content
Use only the special salt intended for
dishwashers.
