aus Safety instructions Delivery Immediately check the packaging and dishwasher for any damage which may have been caused in transit. Do not use a damaged appliance, but consult your supplier. Please dispose of packaging material properly: Installation Install and connect the appliance according to the installation and assembly instructions. The dishwasher must NOT be connected to the power supply during installation.
aus Read and observe the safety nformation and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents. Children in the household If fitted, use the childproof lock. An exact description can be found in the back of the envelope. Do not allow children to play with or operate the appliance. Keep children away from detergents and rinse aid. These may cause chemical burns in the mouth, throat and eyes or asphyxiation. Keep children away from an open dishwasher.
aus Water softener In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.
aus Filling the salt dispenser Salt must always be filled before the appliance is switched on, so that excess salt solution is immediately flushed away to prevent corrosion. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 24 . Before using the appliance for the first time, pour about 1 litre of water in the salt container. Then refill with salt (not cooking salt) until the salt container is full (max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt, water is being displaced and drains off.
aus Adjusting the amount of rinse-aid The amount of rinse-aid added to the water can be varied by adjusting the stepless control. The rinse-aid control has been set to ”4” in the factory. Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid control unless streaks (turn knob towards ”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”) are left on the dishes. 29 Rinse aid controller Rinse-aid refill indicator As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator lights up on the control panel 4 , refill with rinse aid.
