To achieve good cleaning results, the

water results in calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be
softened.
–
Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
–
The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the
water hardness in your area.
–
In areas where the water hardness
fluctuates (e. g. 37 - 50 °d
[39 -52 gr/gal]) always program the
machine to the higher value (in this
example 50 °d [52 gr/gal]).If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
Please note your water hardness
below:
°d(gr/gal)
The water hardness was programmed
at 1 °d (1 gr/gal) by factory default.

							Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
Filling the salt container
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water that
is low in minerals). Hard water results in
calcium deposits on dishware and in
the dishwasher.
Therefore, if your tap water hardness is
above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should
be softened. The built-in water softener
is designed for this purpose. The water
softener is suitable for a water hardness
up to 70 °d (73 gr/gal).
Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.
Only use water softener salt
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
If using Tab products which
include salt, still add salt to the
machine to achieve optimal cleaning
results and ensure long-term
functioning of the water softener.Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
container lid.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container only to refill salt.
Important:The salt container must
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water
before adding salt for the first time
so the salt can dissolve
properly. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
Before using for the first time

							Place the provided funnel over the
salt container and carefully fill it with
salt. The salt container holds
approx. 4.4 lbs (2 kg) of salt,
depending on the type of salt.
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.
Screw the lid onfirmly.
Immediately after each refill, run the
Express program without a load (no
Turbo function). This will remove
any traces of salt from inside the
wash cabinet.
Refill salt message
As soon as theInsufficient salt
message is displayed, refill the salt
container
Confirm with the center button.
The Insufficient salt message goes
out.
If a sufficiently high concentration of
salt has not yet formed, the Insufficient
salt message may continue to be
displayed after adding the salt. In this
case, confirm again with the center
button.
The Insufficient salt message is turned
off if you have programmed the
dishwasher to a water hardness below
4 °d (4 gr/gal).
If usingTab detergent products in
your dishwasher, the messages can
be turned off if desired (see
Settings - Deactivate indicators).
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to
replenish the salt and rinse aid and
to turn the indicators back on.

							Rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware.
The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dosed.
Filling the rinse aid reservoir with
detergent (liquid or powder) will
damage the reservoir. Only pour
rinse aid formulated for residential
dishwashers into the reservoir.
When using Tab detergents rinse
aid is not needed.
Adding rinse aid
Press the button on the rinse aid
reservoir in the direction of the arrow
until the flap springs open.Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir
until it is visible on the surface of the
screen.
The rinse aid reservoir holds
approximately 3.7 fl. oz. (110 ml).
Press on the flap until you hear it
click shut. Failure to close it all the
way allows water to enter the
reservoir during the wash program.

Clean any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see Settings - Rinse
aid).
Before using for the first time

							Rinse aid indicator
When theRefill rinse aidmessage
appears, the reservoir contains
sufficient rinse aid for2-3programs
only.
Add rinse aid once the program has
finished.
Confirm with the center button.
The Refill rinse aid message will go
out.
If using Tab detergent products in
your dishwasher, the messages can
be turned off if desired (see
Settings - Deactivate indicators).
If you switch to using detergent that
does not contain salt or rinse aid, it
is important to remember to
replenish the salt and rinse aid and
to turn the indicators back on.

							Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher.
Ash and sand do not dissolve and
will be distributed throughout the
inside of the dishwasher.
Wax, grease and paint will cause
permanent discoloration and
damage to the dishwasher.
Scrape food from dishes before
placing them in the dishwasher,
rinsing is not necessary.
Some foods contain natural dyes,
e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items
may discolor permanently if they
come in contact with food dyes.
All items can be placed anywhere in
the baskets.
Load dishes so that water can reach
all surfaces. Do not place dishes or
cutlery inside other pieces.

Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.

Hollow items such as cups and
glasses should be placed upside
down in the baskets.

To ensure good water coverage, tall,
narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases
or champagne glasses, should be
placed in the center of the basket
rather than in the corners.

Concave based items such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an
angle so that water does not pool.The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Check
clearance by manually rotating the
spray arms.
Place very small items in the cutlery
tray or basket so they do not fall to
the bottom of the wash cabinet.
Food residue and spilled liquids
should be cleaned from the sides of
the dishwasher door. These are
outside of the wash cabinet and are
not cleaned by water from the spray
arms.
