USE
6.1 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Before turning on the appliance, make sure that the plug attached to the electric cable is
connected to the electric outlet, the water supply tube is connected to the faucet, the faucet is
turned on, the drainage tube has been connected according to the instructions.
Opening of the door
Pull the handle forward. The door should open without effort. If you pull the handle while the
dishwasher is running, a safety mechanism will turn off the appliance.
Adding special dishwasher salt
• Open the door and take out the lower basket
• Remove the lid of the salt container by turning it anti-
clockwise
Only during the first time you carry out this operation:
fill about 1/2 litre of water into the salt container
• Use funnel L to fill the special dishwasher salt into the
container (use about 1.0-1.5 kg of salt).
• Remove possible salt residues from the opening of the
container.
• Put the lid of the container back in its place by turning
it clockwise.
• If you don't use the dishwasher immediately after fill-
ing the salt container, run the programme pre-wash to
rinse away the water and salt particles that spilled over
from the container.
For safety reasons we recommend to refill the
container after seven wash cycles – always at the
beginning of a cycle.
Use only special dishwasher salt. Other types of salt (e.g., regular household salt)
often contain substances that do not dissolve completely in water and can
therefore obstruct the water softener, thus making it unusable.
Regulation of the water softener system
For the washing process it is better to use soft water (with a
low calcium content), to avoid calcium deposits on the dishes
and on the inside of the dishwasher. For this reason, the
appliance is equipped with a water softener (fig. 6) which is
automatically regenerated in regular intervals thanks to the
saline solution. The salt consumption for the regeneration
process depends on the hardness/softness of the local water
that is being used.
To find out the degree of hardness of your water contact
your town administration or use a commercial testing kit.
To guarantee an optimal regeneration of the softener it is
necessary to set device D according to your local hardness
(see table) and to make sure that the salt container is always
filled with special dishwasher salt.
