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.
Salt usage (If Available)
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)
•Step 1 & 2: To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter
clockwise.
•Step 3: At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water until it is almost
overflowing.
If available, using a funnel will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After
every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

8
Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.
•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.

Detergent usage
Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents
in cool, dry places out of reach of children.
•Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance.
The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of
dishes.
•Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise you
can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass
corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.
•Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streak sin
hard water.
NOTE: See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a further information.
Filling the detergent
•Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent.
•Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser should be refilled just

Using combined detergents
•These products should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
•Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket.
Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt
replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination.
•We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short programmes. Please use
powder detergents instead. If you encounter problems when using combined
detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
•When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse
aid settings are set to the correct level.
