Before using your appliance
Preparing your Dishwasher for first use
Check whether the electricity and supply water
specifications match the values indicated in the
installation instructions for the machine.
Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
Set the water softener level.
Fill the rinse aid compartment.
Fill the salt (If Available)
To fill with 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 the funnel (4)
provided will make filling easier. Replace the cap and
close it. After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into your
machine 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.
