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 (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.
4.3 Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)
To add softener salt, open the salt
compartment 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 overflowing. 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 machine
until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).
3 4
1 2
SALT
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.

4.8. 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 streaksin
hard water.

detergent in the pre-wash detergent
chamber.
DETERGENT
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 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.
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 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.
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
