BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIMEStep 3. Salt FillingThis model has a water softener to soften hard water.Please read these notes carefully for correct operation.In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e., containinglittle or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers.If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e., decalcified.This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.The required amount of salt is set up according to how hard your tap water is.NOTEWater softener salt can be purchased from Salt distributors.■ Filling with Salt (Adding salt is only necessary in Hard water areas.)Fill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing programme.Once you have filled with salt you must run the Quick course immediately to remove salt and saltwater around the tub in order to prevent corrosion.• Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the salt container.• Before using your dishwasher for the first time, it is necessaryto Pour 1.5kg of salt and 1 litre of water in to the container.Otherwise salt refill lamp always remains on during operation,unless the Hardness level is set to H0 (see page 14).Use a funnel for ease and clean filling, ensuring that coarse saltor regenerating salt intended for water softening is used.• After filling, wipe off any spilled salt to seal the cap properly.• Screw the cap tightly to prevent any suds from penetrating intothe container.Step 4. Adding Rinse Aid■ For fillingTo fill the Rinse Aid chamber, push the rinse aid button. Fill the container to the maximum levelwith a good quality Rinse Aid, then close the cap.The Rinse Aid is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.The dosage is factory set to suit most installations. If, after washing, you notice cloudy spots,streaks or water marks on your glassware, it may be necessary to increase the setting. To do this,remove the cap and rotate the indicator arrow to a higher setting then replace the cap . If the glassis smeared or foam is present on the bottom of the glass or the bottom of the machine, select alower setting.15
