Before  rst use
Before you put your dishwasher into operation:
a) set water softening;
b) pour 3/4 litre of water into the salt compartment and  ll it up with salt;
c)  ll the rinsing aid compartment;
d)  ll the dishwashing detergent compartment.
Water softener
The water softener is made so that it releases minerals and salts contained in water, which would have
a negative e ect on the operation of the dishwasher. The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the
harder the water is. You should set the water softener according to the water hardness in your area. Information
about water hardness in your area should be provided by your water supply company.
If you use hard water in your dishwasher, scale deposits will be left on your dishes, which may negatively a ect
the washing e ciency and lifetime of your dishwasher.
The appliance should be equipped with a special softener, which uses the salt compartment for salt speci cally
designed for eliminating scale and minerals from water.
Identifying water hardness
The dish washing e ciency of your dishwasher depends on the hardness of the water used. Therefore, your
dishwasher is equipped with a system which reduces water hardness at the main water inlet. The better the
system is set up the better the achieved washing e ciency. Your water supplier should provide you with
information about water hardness in your area or you may measure it yourself using a simple harness test,
a special testing strip (not included).
