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).

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.

4.4 Test Strip

Run water through the tap (1min.)Keep the strip in the water (1sec)Shake the strip.Wait (1min.)Set the hardness level of your machine.

4.6 Water Softener System

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use the test strip (if available).

4.7 Setting

  • Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button.
  • Press the Up button for at least 3" immediately after the machine is turned on.
  • Release the Up button when all leds blink once. The last setting level is viewed.
  • Press the Up or Down button to increase or decrease the hardness level respectively.
  • Turn off the machine to save the setting.

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.

See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a further information.

4.9 Filling The Detergent

8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine's service life Make sure that the water softening setting (If available) is done correctly and correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on. Oil and limescale may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:

  • Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a programme which runs at high temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.
    • To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly on each month
  • Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.

8.1 Filters

Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.

To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and remove it by lifting it upwards (1). Pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter (2). Then pull and remove the metal filter (3). Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is free of residue. Reassemble the filters. Replace the filter insert, and rotate it clockwise (4).

  • Never use your dishwasher without a filter.
  • Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
  • Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine.

8.2 Spray Arms

Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste or foreign object is stuck to the spray arms. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water.
