4 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

4.1 Preparing Your Dishwasher For First Use

  • Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
  • Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
  • Set the water softener level.
  • Fill the rinse aid compartment.

4.2 Salt Usage

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance during every wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

The dishwasher can only use special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble (e.g., table salt). Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

Only add water to the salt compartment before first use. Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine (see below for filling instructions). If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

4.3 Fill The Salt

To add softener salt:

  1. Open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise.
  2. Remove salt cap.
  3. Before first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt. If available, using a funnel will make filling easier.
  4. Fill the container with water until it is almost overflowing. Replace the cap making sure it is secure and tight.

After every 20-30 Cycles, or when the re-fill light indicates, add salt into your machine until it fills up the container (approx. 1 kg).

Diagram: Shows 4 steps for filling the salt compartment, including opening the cap, removing it, adding salt, and adding water.

4.4 Test Strip

Diagram: Shows steps for using a test strip: Run water through the tap (1min.), Keep the strip in the water (1sec), Shake the strip, Wait (1min.), Set the hardness level of your machine.

NOTE: The level is set to 3 as default. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we recommend that you use filter and refinement devices.

4.6 Water Softener System

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use the test strip supplied.

4.7 Setting

Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button.

Press the Up button [⬆️] for at least 3 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on.

Release the Up button when all LEDs blink once. The last setting level is viewed.

Press the Up or Down buttons [⬆️]/[⬇️] to increase or decrease the hardness level respectively.

Turn off the machine to save the setting.

4.8 Detergent Usage

Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children. Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.

Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise, you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage. Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaks in hard water areas.

See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for further information.

4.9 Filling The Detergent

Push the latch which will cause the dispenser lid to slide upwards. Once fully open, pour in the required amount of detergent.

Close the lid by sliding it back over the detergent and press it until it locks in place.

The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme.

Diagram: Shows how to open and close the detergent dispenser.

4.10 Using Combined Detergents

These products should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket. Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination. Montpellier recommends you do not use combined detergents in short programmes; please use powder detergents instead. If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer. When using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to the correct level. If you stop using combined detergents, make sure that the levels are adjusted accordingly.

4.11 Rinse-aid Usage

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse phase.

If the rinse aid dosage setting is set too low, whitish stains may remain on dishes and dishes do not dry or wash properly. If the rinse aid dosage setting is set too high, you can see bluish layers on glass, dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.

4.12 Filling The Rinse-aid And Setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

To change the rinse aid level, follow these steps before turning on the machine:

  1. Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button.
  2. Press the UP button [⬆️] for at least 5 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on.
  3. Release the Up button when all LEDs blink twice. The last setting is displayed.
  4. Press the Up or Down buttons [⬆️]/[⬇️] to increase or decrease the rinse aid level.
  5. Turn off the machine to save the setting.

The factory setting is 4. If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.

5 LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

For best results, follow these loading guidelines. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. in the upper basket. Do not lean long glasses against one another as they cannot remain steady and may be damaged. When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge or rack and not against other items. Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards otherwise water can collect on items. If there is a cutlery basket in the machine, you are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. Place all large (pots, pans, lids, plates, bowls etc.) and very dirty items in the lower rack. Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.

⚠️ WARNING: Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms.

⚠️ WARNING: Make sure after loading the dishes do not prevent the opening of the detergent dispenser.

5.1 Recommendations

  • Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the dishes in the machine.
  • Always try and start the machine with a full load.
  • Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the wrong basket.

⚠️ WARNING: To avoid any possible injuries, place long-handle and sharp-pointed knives with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

5.2 Upper Basket Height Adjustment.

Before adjusting the upper basket, make sure that the basket is empty.

Turn the Rail Stop Clips, at the ends of the rails, to the sides to open them (as shown in the image below), then pull out and remove the basket.

In this case:

  1. First, always disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
  2. Take out the baskets.
