PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

The importance of water decalcification
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.
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 2kg salt and water (3)
at overflowing level If available,using the funnel4 provided will make filling easier.;
refit the cap and close it.
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.
If you put a tablet into the salt compartment, do not fill the compartment
completely. We recommend that you use smallgrained or powder softener salt.
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 immediately 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.
