Using the dishwasher
3. Using the dishwasher

3.1 Before first use

Important
!
Make sure that the surfaces surrounding the appliance, e.g. the undersi-
de of the worktop, are sufficiently protected against moisture
to prevent possible damage (e.g. caused by escaping steam when ope-
ning the appliance door).
• When installing the machine, follow the installation instructions in
this manual.
• Fill the water softener with 500 ml of water from the tap, then add 2 kg
of refined salt for the dishwasher. Now set up the water softener.
• Fill and adjust the rins aid dispenser.
3.2 Loading the salt into the softener
Important
!
Always use refined salt, which is intended for the dishwasher. If
you take a different kind of salt (in particular table salt), the water
softener is damaged.
• It is best to fill the softener with regenerating salt right
before you start the rinsing programme, so that over-
flowing salt is removed during rinsing.
• Open the door and remove the lower crockery basket.
The crockery basket should be empty.
• Turn the lid of the storage container counterclockwise
and remove it.
• If you are filling the container for the first time,
fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500ml).
• Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole
and introduce about 2kg of salt. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.
• Carefully screw the cap back on.
• Usually, the salt warning light will be off in 2-6 hours
after the salt container is filled with salt.
If it lights up again, you should repeat the salt filling
procedure described above.
