Before using for the first time Reactivation salt In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on dishes and on the inner surfaces of the machine. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 73 gpg (70 °dH – German scale).
Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened.
Before using for the first time Refilling the salt Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation salt when Refill salt appears in the display. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out. Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase, and helps dishes dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Liquid dish soap or detergent can cause damage. Liquid dish soap and detergent can damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Risk of acid damage.
Before using for the first time Adding rinse aid Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program.
