Prior to Using for the First Time14

Adding dishwasher Salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with dishwasher salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.

If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with dishwasher salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time. – If when starting a cycle the message REFILL SALT is displayed.

1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.

2. Unscrew the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anticlockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dis penser opening. Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the capacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.01.5 kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.

3 If water overflows when filling up with dishwasher salt, this is completely harm

less.

5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.

6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with dishwasher salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.

3 Depending on the size of the grains, it can take several hours for the salt to dis

solve in the water and for the message REFILL SALT not to be displayed when starting a dishwashing cycle.

Filling Up with Rinse Aid

Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leaving gleam ing dishes and glassware.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time. – If when starting a dishwashing cycle the message REFILL RINSE AID is dis

played.

Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers.

1. Open the door. The rinse aid compartment is located on the inside of the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment.

3. Open the cover.

15Prior to Using for the First Time
