4 BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE
4.1 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..
4.2 Salt Usage
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 during every wash. For this
purpose, dishwasher salt is used.
The dishwasher can only use special
dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not
use any small grained or powdered type of
salts which can easily soluble(for example
table salt). Using any other type of salt can
damage your machine.
4.3 Fill The Salt
To add softener salt,
(1) Open the salt compartment cap by
turning it counter clockwise.
(2) Remove salt cap.
(3) Before first use, fill the compartment
with 1 kg salt. If available, using a funnel
will make filling easier.
(4) Fill the container with water until it is
almost overflowing. Replace the cap
making sure it is secure and tight.
After every 20-30 Cycles, or when the
re-fill light indicates, add salt into your
machine until it fills up the container
(approx. 1 kg).
43
1 2
SALT
Only add water to the salt
compartment before 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 (see below for filling
instructions).
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
4.8 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 streaks in
hard water areas.
See the detergent manufacturer’s
instructions for a further information.
4.9 Filling The Detergent
Push the latch which will cause the dispenser
lid to slide upwards. Once fully open pour in
the required amount of detergent.
Close the lid by sliding it back over the
detergent and press it until it locks in place.
The dispenser should be refilled just before
the start of each programme.
4.10 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 using combined detergents, make
sure that water hardness and rinse aid
settings are set to the correct level. If you
stop using combined detergents make sure
that the levels are adjusted accordingly.
4.11 Rinse-aid Usage
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 the rinse aid dosage setting is set too
low, whitish stains may remain on dishes
and dishes do not dry or wash properly.
If the rinse aid dosage setting is set too
high you can see bluish layers on glass,
dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.

EN - 16
4.12 Filling The Rinse-aid And Setting
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment
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.

5 LOADING YOUR
DISHWASHER
For best results, follow these loading
guidelines.
Loading the household dishwasher up to the
capacity indicated by the manufacturer will
contribute to energy and water savings.
Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads
to increased water and energy consumption
and is not recommended. You can place
cups, glasses, stemware, small plates,
bowls, etc. in the upper basket. Do not lean
long glasses against one another as they
cannot remain steady and may be damaged.
When placing long stem glasses and
goblets, lean them against the basket edge
or rack and not against other items.
Place all containers such as cups, glasses
and pots into the dishwasher with the
opening facing downwards otherwise water
can collect on items.
If there is cutlery basket in machine, you are
recommended to use the cutlery grid in
order to obtain the best result. Place all large
