USE
6.1 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Before turning on the appliance, make sure that the plug attached to the electric cable is
connected to the electric outlet, the water supply tube is connected to the faucet, the faucet
is turned on, the drainage tube has been connected according to the instructions.
Opening of the door
Pull the handle forward. The door should open without effort. If you pull the handle while the dishwasher
is running, a safety mechanism will turn off the appliance.
Adding special dishwasher salt
• Open the door and take out the lower basket.
• Remove the lid of the salt container by turning it anticlock-
wise.
Only during the first time you carry out this operation:
fill about 1/2 litre of water into the salt container.
• Use funnel L to fill the special dishwasher salt into the
container (use about 1.0-1.5 kg of salt).
• Remove possible salt residues from the opening of the
container.
• Put the lid of the container back in its place by turning it
clockwise.
• If you don't use the dishwasher immediately after filling
the salt container, run the programme pre-wash to rinse
away the water and salt particles that spilled over from the
container.
* The water softening system is equipped with an electric
instrument that indicates the salt content level.
A control light will be illuminated on the front panel (fig. 18,
) of your dishwasher to indicate when it is necessary

to add more dishwasher salt.
Regulation of the water softener system
For the washing process it is better to use soft water (with a
low calcium content), to avoid calcium deposits on the dishes
and on the inside of the dishwasher.
To find out the degree of hardness of your water contact
your town administration or use a commercial testing kit.
To reach an optimal regeneration setting, keep the button
DELAY 9 (fig. 6) pressed when turning on the appliance.
Now, the current setting is being displayed (e.g., d5). To
modify the setting (within 5 seconds),press the same button
again until the desired level is reached (see table).
Wait for 6 seconds without modifying the setting. A buzzer
sound will indicate that the new setting was accepted. On
the display, the request select programme will appear.
Use only special dishwasher salt. Other types of salt
(e.g., regular household salt) often contain sub-
stances that do not dissolve completely in water and
can therefore obstruct the water softener, thus mak-
ing it unusable.
