CHAPTER 4. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

PREPARING YOUR DISHWASHER FOR FIRST USE

• 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.

WATER DESCALING WEIGHT

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 dishwasher 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.

FILL THE SALT (IF AVAILABLE)

To add softener salt, open the salt compartment 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
overflowing. 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).
Fill the salt compartment with water the first time you fill the salt compartment only. 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.
