before first use

Prior to using the machine for the first time please check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values
indicated by the installation instructions for the appliance.
Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
Fill the salt reservoir and fill up with water until it almost overflows. Set the water hardness setting.
Fill the rinse aid reservoir.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

For a good washing result, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the
dishes and the interior of the dishwasher. This has a negative effect on your applinace's washing, drying and shining performance. For
this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
• Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt reservoir
(1).
• Place the provided funnel into the opening and fill with salt till the
overflow level, about 1.5 kg (2).
• Fill the reservoir before first use with water. It is normal for a little
water to flow out of the opening when doing this.
• Screw the cap back on firmly.
ATTENTION!
• Remove any spilled salt and run a full program to prevent corrosion
to the bottom.
• Refill the salt reservoir when the indicator light of the salt reservoir
lights up.
