[. . . ] After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1. 5 kg) Fill the salt compartment with water at first use only. We recommend that you use smallgrained or powder softener salt. Do not put table salt into your machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener compartment may decrease over time. When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment gets filled with water. Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine. This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are not going to wash any dishes immediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program with an empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent corrosion ) to your machine due to the salt overflow while filling in the salt container. 11 In order to understand whether or not the amount of softener salt in your machine is sufficient, check the transparent section on the salt compartment cap. There is sufficient salt if the transparent section is green. Salt has to be added if the transparent section is not green. Testing strip The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains water supply. The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine water hardness level by using the test strip(if available). Open the testing strip. Keep the testing strip in water for 1 sec. Shake the testing strip after taking it out of water. Make your machine’s water hardness setting according to the result obtained through the testing strip. Adjusting salt consumption Table of Water Hardness Level Settings If the hardness of the water you use is above 90 dF (French hardness) or if you are using well water; you are recommended to use filter and water refinement devices. NOTE: Hardness level is adjusted to level 3 as a factory setting. 12 Adjusting salt consumption Adjust the water softener according to how hard your tap water is. Move the programme selector knob to the 0 (Reset) position while your machine is not in operation. 1 After resetting your machine, press the Start/Pause button and keep it pressed down. 2 Meanwhile, energise the machine by pressing the Power On/Off button. 4 Keep Start/Pause keys press until program monitor lights are on and off. 2 After the lamps “Wash/Dry/End” have flashed 3 , release the Start/Pause button. 2 Your machine displays the latest entered water hardness setting. You can adjust the levels by pressing the Start/Pause button 2 according to Table of Water Hardness Level Settings. After adjusting the water hardness level , press on/off button to save the settings in memory. 4 13 Detergent usage Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. [. . . ] If there are whitish stains on the dishes A very small amount of detergent is being used. • • Rinse aid dosage setting at a very low level. • No special salt is being used despite the high degree of water hardness. • Water softener system setting is at a very low level.
