Product Usage Instructions

First Use
Before installation and first usage of the appliance, please read carefully the “SAFETY INSTRUCTION” and “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION” available in the product literature bag. Also, remember to remove all transport protection parts from the dishwasher.

Filling the Salt Reservoir:

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Position the funnel and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is normal for a little water to leak out.
3. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.
5. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent detergent from entering the container during the wash program.
6. After completing this procedure, run a program without loading.
   Note: Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers. Failure to fill the salt container may result in damage to the water softener and heating element due to limescale accumulation. Whenever you need to add salt, complete the procedure before starting the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

Setting the Water Hardness:
To allow the water softener to work effectively, it is essential to set the water hardness based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.
The factory sets the default value for the water hardness. Use the following table as a reference:

Adjust the water hardness setting accordingly using the control panel.

Water Softening System:

• The water softener automatically reduces water hardness, preventing scale buildup on the heater and contributing to better cleaning efficiency. The system regenerates itself with salt, so itis required to refill the salt container when empty.
• The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting. Regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles when the water hardness level is set to 3. The regeneration process starts in the final rinse and finishes in the drying phase before the cycle ends.

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser:
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit. Rinse aid makesdish drying easier.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser:
Only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

First Use

Advice regarding the first time use
Before installation and first usage of the appliance please read carefully „ SAFETY INSTRUCTION” and „ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION” available in the product literature bag. Please remember to remove all transport protection parts from the dishwasher.

Filling the salt reservoir

• The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes andon the machine’s functional components.

  • It is mandatory that THE SALT RESERVOIR BE NEVER EMPTY.
  • It is important to set the water hardness.

• The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

  1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
  2. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
  3. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
  4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.

• Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash program (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

• As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.

• Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

• Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.

Setting the water hardness
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The factory sets the default value for the water hardness.

Water Softening System

• Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill salt container when empty.
• Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3.
• Regeneration process starts in final rinse and finishes in drying phase, before cycle ends.
  • Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5 L of water;
  • Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
  • Consumes below 0.005 kWh of energy.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

Cutlery basket

• The basket is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack.
• Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack.
