BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Hardness setting

This 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., containing
little 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.

Step 1. Checking your water hardness level

■

Method 1

- Check the water hardness in your area.

(Your water supply management agency can help you with this.)

Method 2

■

- You can check water harness by using test kit included in the product.

① Immerse the test strip for 30 seconds (Not in running water!)
② Shake off liquid from the test kit, and then wait for 1 minute for checking the change of color.
③ Check the setting value applicable to the number of changed colors.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Step 2. Setting up the softening system level (hardness level)
of your dishwasher

For effective washing performance, adjust the setting corresponding to the hardness level of water
used in water supply. The water softener has 8 adjustment levels, and the dishwasher is programmed

at the factory for a water hardness level of H00. You can check the default setting value and adjust it

in the following manner:

1. Press Half Load
and Power button
simultaneously.
(Current setting value
indicated.)

2. Press the Half Load
button, and then set
up your intended
value.
(Scope of setting
value : H00~H07)

3. Press the Delay Start
button for saving the
setting.
(The power turns off
upon the saving.)

* The display may vary, depending on the model.

NOTE

• The ‘Salt Filling’ light turns on in the display if salt is not in the softening system.

• If the hardness setting is set to H0, no light turns on in case of no salt.

Step 3. Salt Filling

Salt filling must be made before starting the washing program. In case of insufficient salt, the ‘Salt

Filling’ light turns on in the display, unless the Hardness level has been set to H0. (refer to page 15)

(Hard water requires salt filling)

1) Remove the lower rack and remove the cap of the water
softener placed in the left side of the bottom of the
washing part by rotating it counterclockwise.

2) Before using your dishwasher for the rst time, it is

necessary to Pour 1.5kg of salt and 1 litre of water
at the same time if intending to use the water softener
system. Refer to page 15 for Hardness level settings.

(Use a funnel when relling salt)

3) Wipe off any spilled salt around the water softener.

4) Fasten the cap tightly.
(Loosely fastened cap may cause rust due to salt spilled
into the container.)

5) Run the Quick course without dishes.

WARNING

Do not pour any detergent in the water softener. It may cause a malfunction.

•

NOTE

• Water softening salt can be purchased from salt distributors.

! Check point

washed out.

NOTE

Cautions for using tablet (2in1, 3in1) detergent

When using some dishwasher detergent tablets, they may become
stuck in the dispenser due to their excessive size.
If this occurs, the dispenser may remain closed causing poor wash
results. Tablets can be placed onto the base of the wash tub next to the

lter before starting the cycle.

Do not use liquid rinse aid if the detergent tablet contains a rinse aid
agent. Otherwise, excessive foaming will occur and cause poor drying
and streaking on dinnerware. If dry performance is not good or water
stain remains, you need add an extra rinse.

WARNING

• Dishwasher detergent and rinse aid contain chemical components, like all other household

detergent. So, they must be kept out of the reach of children.

Checking salt

After refilling the salt, a wash program
should be operated without dishes, as any spilled
salt inside the dishwasher may cause rust or
damage to the dishwasher if left unwashed.

This cycle washes the upper and lower racks at
different spray intensities. The lower rack is
washed with a strong spray for hard to clean
items, while the upper rack is washed with a soft
spray for more delicate items.

This provides optimum cleaning performance
for mixed loads, including fine china and
stemware.

Auto

During the Auto programme, the degree of

soiling in the dishes is determined by the amount
of clouding in the water.
According to the degree of soiling, the
programme automatically adjusts the washing
time and temperature.

As a result, the energy and water consumption is
kept as low as possible.

the bottom of the
dishwasher after
completion of wash.

Dry results are poor.

There is excessive
foam inside the
dishwasher.

Water remains
inside the
