4. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

4.1. Preparing your Dishwasher for first use

• Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
  • Fill the rinse aid compartment.

4.2. Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)

To fill with 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 the funnel (4) provided will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

Fill the salt compartment with water the first time you fill the salt compartment only.

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.

4.3. Test Strip

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

NOTE: Level is set 3 as default. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we recommend that you use filter and refinement devices.

4.4. Water Hardness Table

4.7. Detergent usage

Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.

Add the recommended amount of detergent for the selected programme to ensure the best performance.

Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.

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

4.8. Filling the detergent

Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent.

Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme. If the dishes are heavily soiled, place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

4.9. 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 correct level.

4.10. Rinse-aid usage

Rinse-aid makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse-aid for domestic dishwashers.

4.11. Filling the rinse-aid and setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, remove the rinse-aid compartment cap by turning it. Fill the compartment with rinse aid until the level indicator goes dark. Replace the cap and close it by turning it. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

The rinse-aid compartment has a level adjuster, numbered 1 to 6, which controls how much rinse aid is used in each wash.

The factory setting is "3".

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease level. To do this, remove the cap and rotate the indicator arrow setting then replace the cap.

5. LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

For best results, follow these loading guidelines.

We recommend that you place large items (pots, pans, lids, plates and bowls) which are heavily soiled in the lower basket.

The upper basket is designed for delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers. Position the dishes so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket. Items should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots with their handles downwards. Long utensils should be placed horizontally on the baskets.

WARNING: Take care not to obstruct rotation of spray arms.

5.1. Recommendations

Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the dishes in the machine. Start the machine with full load.

Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the wrong basket.

WARNING: Always place sharp ils with the sharp point down and open ils with their openings down.
