FIRST START-UP

First start-up
The electrical protection system must undergo a functional test before the appliance is put into operation.
The appliance must be installed and/or inspected by qualified staff, who will start it up for the first time and provide the relevant
operating instructions.
Preparing for use (important)
The rinse aid dispenser is fitted on all models, the detergent dispenser only on some.
If both dispensers are present put the external detergent and rinse aid containers in place and insert the respective intake
hoses on the rear of the appliance into them. Red hose: detergent, blue hose: rinse aid
Before inserting the hoses into the containers, fit the weights (needed to ensure that they always draw in
liquid from the bottoms of the containers) and the filters onto their ends as shown. If the detergent
dispenser is not factory-fitted, it can be retrofitted after ordering the relative kit.
Whenever the type of detergent or rinse aid is changed, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to flush out the peristaltic pumps by placing
the external intake pipes in water for a few cycles. Always use only products specifically recommended for use in a professional
dishwasher. Failure to comply with this recommendation leads to forfeiture of the warranty entitlement on the appliance's water
system. Replacement of the internal tube of the detergent and rinse aid peristaltic pumps is recommended every 12 months or
15.000 wash cycles, by the After-Sales Service.

5.1 Using the water softener (on models with this feature only)

The quantity of lime in the water (which indicates its hardness) causes whitish marks on dry dishes and
dishes also tend to lose their shine over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic water softener
which removes the substances that cause hardness from the water with the aid of regenerating salt.
The first time the dishwasher is used, a litre of water must be poured into the tank with the salt. Whenever
the tank is filled, always take care to ensure that the cap is firmly closed. The mixture of water and detergent
must not get into the salt tank, as this would impair operation of the regeneration system. In this case
warranty cover will be forfeited.
