Prior to using the machine for the first time

Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated by the installation instructions for the machine.

Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.

Add 2 kg salt into the salt compartment and fill with water up to a level at which it will almost overflow.

Fill the rinse aid compartment.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

The importance of water decalcification

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.

Filling with salt (Only if detergent,tablet or gel does not have salt contained in them)

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. To put softener salt, first remove the lower basket and then open the salt compartment cap by turning it

counter clockwise .1 2 At first fill the compartment with 2kg salt and

water

 

at

overflowing

 

level

If

available,using the funnel

 

provided

will make filling easier; refit the cap and close it.

After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1.5 kg)

Fill the salt compartment with water at first use only.

We recommend that you use small- grained or powder softener salt.

Do not put table salt into your machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener compartment may decrease over time. When you start

your dishwasher, the salt

compartment gets filled with water. Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine.

This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are not going to wash any dishes immediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program with an empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent corrosion ) to your machine due to the salt overflow while filling in the salt container.
