4.1 Preparing your dishwasher for
first use
4.3 Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)
4.2 Salt usage (IF AVAILABLE)
•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.
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 dish-
washer 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.
To add softener salt, open the salt compart-
ment 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 overflow-
ing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make
filling easier. Replace the cap and close it.
After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your
mach until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).
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.

4.10 Using combined detergents
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. Us-
ing little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and you can see whitish streaksin hard water.
See the detergent manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for a further information
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
before the start of each programme. If the
dishes are heavily soiled, place additional
detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber
These products should be used according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never put combined detergents into the inte-
rior 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 in such
programmes.
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.
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for
stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The
rinse aid is automatically released during the
hot rinse phase. If rinse aid dosage setting
set too low, whitish stains remains on dishes
and dishes do not dry and washed clean. If
rinse aid dosage setting set too height, you
can see bluish layers on glass and dishes.
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the
rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compart-
ment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then
close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the
rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills
In order to change the rinse aid level,
follow the below steps:
•Open the door of the machine.
•Turn on the machine, and touch the
Programme button as soon as the machine is
turned on.
•Hold down the Programme button until
“rA” disappears. Rinse aid setting follows
water hardness setting.
•The machine will display the last setting.
•Change the level by touching the pro-
gramme button.
•Turn off the machine to save the setting.
The factory rinse aid level setting is “4”.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are
spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form
on your dishes, decrease the level.
