Preparing The Machine For Use; The Importance Of Water Decalcification; Filling With Salt - Kernau KDI 4853 Instruction Manual

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcifiedus 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 re-
moved 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.

The importance of water decalcification

Filling with salt

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. To
put softener salt, first remove the lower basket and then open the
salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. 1 2 At first
fill the compartment with 1kg salt and water 3 at overflowing le-
vel. If the salt warning lamp on the control panel becomes on fill
the salt compartment with salt again.
Fill the salt compartment with water at first use only.
Do not put table salt into your machine. Otherwise, the function
of the softener compartment may decrease over time. When you
start your dishwasher, the salt compartment gets filled with water.
Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine.
This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through
the wash operation. If you are not going to wash any dishes im-
mediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program
with an empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent
corrosion )to your machine due to the salt overflow while filling
in the salt container.
