1. If you use only the drain hose for drainage, place and install 
it below 80 cm from the ground.
If the drain hose is installed higher than 80 cm, dirty water 
may flow back or a significant amount of dirty water may 
remain inside the dishwasher.

Filling the salt container with special salt
1. Turn the cap anti-clockwise to remove it.
2.  Fill the salt container with salt. Use a funnel or similar mechanism to \
easily and cleanly fill the 
container.
3.  After filling the container, wipe off any spilled salt to seal the cap properly.
4.  Screw the cap tightly to prevent any suds from penetrating that may cause a water softening 
problem.
Using special salt
Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time;
- When the “Salt Refill” indicator on the control panel is lit
-  Fill the container with special salt using the funnel: 
The capacity of the container is approx. 1kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill the 
salt container.
-  After filling the container with special salt, pour water into the sal\
t container.
If the “Salt Refill” indicator is lit, refill the salt within the next three times of using it.

							20_ using your dishwasher
using the salt container
•	 Your	dishwasher	is	equipped	with	an	adjustable	water	softening	system. To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes should be washed 
with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. 
The salt container should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. 
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
•	 If	you	want	to	change	the	water	softening	level,	you	should	set	it	manually	as	follows: 1. Press the power button. (The dishwasher should turn off.)
2.  Press the buttons sequentially. (At this time a button sound is heard.)
1) Press the 1/2 button for three seconds.
2)  Press the Sterilization button.
3.  To change the salt container level, press the 1/2 button. 
(To select the new level, refer to the chart.) 
We recommend that customers set the salt container when the dishwasher is in\
itially 
installed by a technician.
filling the salt container with special salt 
•	Use only special salt for dishwashers. Do not fill the salt container \
with any another type of 
salt or dishwasher detergent as this would irreparably damage the salt container.
•	 If you are not going to wash your dishes immediately, you should run the Prewash program. 
This will clean any salt that has run out of the container and any salt \
that has been spilt.
•	 Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for \
the salt to dissolve in 
the water and the special salt indicator to turn off.
Adjusting the salt container system
•	Adjust the salt container according to the water hardness level of your area. The salt 
container has 6 settings (refer to the table below).
