BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Make sure that the set level of the wa-
ter softener agrees with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust the
water softener. Contact your local wa-
ter authority to know the water hard-
ness in your area.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Processing residues can stay in the ap-
pliance. Start a programme to remove
them. Do not use detergent and do
not load the baskets.
If you use the combi detergent
tablets, activate the Multitab func-
tion. These tablets contain deter-
gent, rinse aid and other added
agents. Be sure that these tablets
are applicable to the water hard-
ness in your area. Refer to the in-
structions on the packaging of the
products.
ADJUSTING THE WATER
SOFTENER
Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-
ener clean and in good conditions. Refer
to the table to adjust the water softener
to the right level. It makes sure that the
water softener uses the correct quantity of
dishwasher salt and water.
You must adjust the water soften-
er manually and electronically.
