Loading The Salt Into The Softener

NOTE:

If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.
Always use salt intended for dishwasher use.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as
explained in the following:

WARNING

Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers use!

Every other type of salt not specifically designed for dishwasher use,
especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages
caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any
warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.

Only fill with salt before running a cycle.

This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been
spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time,
which may cause corrosion.

Please follow the steps below for adding dishwasher salt:

1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.

2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of

dishwasher salt.

3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water, It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.

4. After filling the container, screw back the cap tightly.

5. The salt warning light will stop being after the salt container has been filled with salt.

6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should

be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump
or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is
out of warranty.

NOTE:

The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light ( ) in the
control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt
warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models), you can
estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher
has run.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

External Care

The door and the door seal

Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the
sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not
accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the
door is closed.

The control panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.

WARNING

To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components,
do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because
they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave
marks on the surface.

Internal Care

Filtering system

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the
washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the
condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.
