4. PRIOR USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
NOTE: If your model have no water softener, you may skip this section.
A. Loading the Salt Into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as follows:
Attention!
≐Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically designed for
use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. in case of damages caused by the
use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any caused damages.
≐Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any
grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the machine for any
period of time, which may cause corrosion.
Open
ARemove the basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. 1
BBefore first wash, add 1 lt. of water in the salt container of your machine.
CPlace the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1 kg of salt.
It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. 2
DAfter filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
EUsually, the salt warning light will be cease to be illuminated within 2-6 days after the salt container has
been filled with salt.
FImmediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started (Suggest
choose rapid programme). Otherwise filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may
be damaged by salty water. It is out of warranty.
NOTE:
1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt
container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (For some Models), you can judge when to load the salt
into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excess salt.

2) millimol, internationel unit for water hardness
*) factory setting
Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
B. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. That
can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwasher
is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent
dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black.
The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

EN - 14
Copyright © 2016, Fast ČR, a. s. 08/2016
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free
drying.
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free
drying.
ATTENTION!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g.
Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of
the optical level indicator“C” located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator
will be dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid
get below 1 / 4 full.
C(Rinse-Aid indicator)
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the
rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.
Full
3 / 4 full
1 / 2 full
1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting
Empty
1To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
2Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with“open”arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
NOTE:
Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next
wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Copyright © 2016, Fast ČR, a. s. 08/2016
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
Adjust lever
(Rinse)
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the
dispenser set on “4”. If spots and poor drying are problems, increase
the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and
rotating the dial to“5”. If the dishes still are not drying properly or are
spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes
are spot-free. The recommended setting is“4”. (Factory value is“4”.)
NOTE:
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dish-
es after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your
dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
C. Function of Detergent
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the
dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Concentrated Detergent
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not
given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6 dH.
If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear at dishes and glass-
es. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach
a little. Strong and coloured spots will not removed completely. In this case please choose a programme with
higher Temperature.
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:
≐conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
≐low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets can-
not dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long pro-
grammes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
NOTE:
Detergent tablets are only for the models with 3 in 1 function or 3 in 1 program.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
Wash Cycle Table . Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwasher. Generally,
only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more
detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will
not dissolve properly.
