Before using for the first time

22

Before using the appliance for

the first tim

e, you require:

– Approx. 2 lbs (1 kg) of dishwasher

salt

– Domestic dishwasher detergent

– Rinse aid formulated for domestic

dishwashers

Every dishwasher is tested at the fac‐

t

ory. There will be residual water in the

appliance from this test. It is not an in‐

dication that it has been used previ‐

ously.

Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning re‐

sults, the d

ishwasher needs to operate

with soft water. Hard water results in a

build-up of calcium deposits on dish‐

ware and in the dishwasher.

Water supplies with a hardness level

higher than 4 gr/gal (4 °d) needs to be

softened. This takes place automatical‐

ly in the integrated water softener. The

water softener in the dishwasher is suit‐

able for a water hardness level of up to

73 gr/gal (70 °d).

The water softener requires dishwasher

salt.

Depending

on the water hardness level

(< 22 gr/gal or 21 °d), dishwasher salt is

not required if combination tablets are

being used (see "Operation - Deter‐

gent").

If the water in your area is very soft

and constantly lower than 5 gr/gal

(5 °d)

you do not have to add dish‐

washer salt. The prompt to add salt

will be switched off automatically.

 Dishwasher det

ergent will de‐

stroy the water softener.

Do not fill the salt container with

dishwasher det

ergent (even liquid

detergent).

 Use only special

, coarse-grained

dishwasher salt or other pure kitchen

salt.

Other types of salt may contain in‐

soluble components which can dam‐

ag

e the water softener.
