Even if you use tablets which
include salt functionality, you
must still add regeneration salt
since such detergents are not
effective enough at softening
hard water.
At first time use, the salt
reservoir has to be filled
independently from water
hardness level (see description
below in step 1 “Daily check”).

How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results
First time use
Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (t he “Pre-w as h” progr am alone is not sufficient).
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the st ainless steel components.
The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.

RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE ADDED.
dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause
a fault function of the appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6).
Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder
detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
Use only one tablet per one cycle, only
placed in detergent dispenser.
All types of tablets can be used, but for
2 in 1 type adding of salt is mandatory.
Some types of tablets may not dissolve
completely during the short cycles
(Rapid, Fragile, Handwash); placing the
tablet on the tub bottom can help
dissolving and washing.
Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / liquid into the big chamber.
Please look for the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer
on the packaging of the detergent product.
