BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Preparing your Dishwasher for first use

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

Fill the salt IF AVAILABLE

To fill with softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counterclockwise. At first, use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water 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. 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.

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.

NOTE The level is set to 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.

Water Hardness Table

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).

Setting

Press the program button when the machine is off position. Turn on the machine by pressing On/Off button and continue to press program button at least for 3 seconds. If Hardness set is recognized SL is shown for 2 seconds. Release program button. The last setting level is viewed. Press program button to set the desired level. At any pressure of program button hardness level is incremented. Hardness level 1 returns after hardness level 6. The last selected water hardness level is stored in the memory by turning the machine off with On/Off button.

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.

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.

Using combined detergents

These products should be used according to the manufacturers 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.

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.

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 overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills. In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below steps before turning on the machine

• Push the programme button and hold it down.
• Turn on the machine.
• Hold down the programme button until the LEDs flash twice.
• Rinse aid set follows water hardness set.
• The machine will display the current setting.
• Change level by pushing the programme button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.
• The factory setting is if the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.

Warning Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for use in the machine. As rinse aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and thus reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a rag.
