- Preparing for First Use: Ensure electricity and water specifications match, remove packaging, set water softener level, and fill rinse aid compartment.
- Salt Usage: Use only special dishwasher salt to soften water. Fill salt compartment initially with water and salt, and refill as needed every 20-30 cycles.
- Detergent Usage: Use detergents specifically designed for dishwashers. Fill detergent compartment before each program, adding extra for pre-wash if needed.
- Rinse Aid Usage: Rinse aid ensures streak-free drying. Adjust dosage setting based on results.
