– The dishwasher must be programmed for the water
hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the
water hardness level in your area.
– Where the water hardness fluctuates, e.g. between 6.7 -
9.0 mmol/l (27 - 30 °d - German scale), always programme
the dishwasher to the higher value (9.0 mmol/l in this
example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you
know the hardness of your local water supply.

							Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
this dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l
(70 °d - German scale).
– The water softener requires
dishwasher salt.
Depending on the water hardness
level (	3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d German
scale), dishwasher salt is not
required if combination tablets are
being used (see "Detergent").
– The dishwasher must be
programmed for the water hardness
in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates,
e.g. between 6.7 - 9.0 mmol/l (27 -
30 °d - German scale), always
programme the dishwasher to the
higher value (9.0 mmol/l in this
example).The dishwasher is programmed at
the factory for a water hardness level
of 2.7 mmol/l (15 °d - German scale).
If this setting corresponds to the
hardness of your water, you do not
need to do anything more.
If your water is harder or softer, you will
need to programme the water hardness
level. See following section.
Before using for the first time
26
 
						

							Programming the water hardness
level
Switch the dishwasher on with the
On/Off button, if it is switched off.
The main menu will appear in the
display.
If the memory function is activated, the
programme menu for the programme
last selected will be displayed instead
(see "Settings menu
, Memory"). If this
is the case, press the Clear button
to switch to the main menu.
In the "Settings menu
" select the
Water hardnessoption.
A tickwill appear beside the water
hardness which has been set.
Select the water hardness you want,
and confirm your selection with
OK.

							Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
–approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt*,
–domestic dishwasher detergent*,
–rinse aid* formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
* See "Optional accessories"
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantlylower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale),
you do not need to add dishwasher
salt. The water softener must,
however, still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet
of dishwasher salt before filling the
salt reservoir!
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
Before using for the first time
28
 
						

							When filling the salt reservoironly
open the door halfwayto ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
Press the button on the lid of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow
until the flap springs open.

Lift up the funnel.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
water.
Add salt only until the reservoir is full
or until water runs out of the opening.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 1 kg
of salt, depending on the brand
used.
Do not add any more than 1 kg of
salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water may overflow.

Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening, and then close
the flap.

After filling the salt reservoir, run the
Quick washprogramme immediately
(without any crockery in the
dishwasher, and without selecting the
Turbo function) to remove any traces
of salt water from the cabinet.
Before using for the first time
29
 
						

							Salt indicator
Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher
salt for reactivation when the

Insufficient saltmessage
appears. (If it appears during a
programme, wait until the end of the
programme).
Confirm with
OK.
The "Insufficient salt" message will go
out.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the "Insufficient salt" message may still
appear in the display if the salt
concentration has not yet reached the
correct level.
If this is the case, confirm again with
OK.
The insufficient salt message will not
appear if the dishwasher has been
programmed for a water hardness level
of less than 0.7 mmol/l (4°d - German
scale).
After filling the salt reservoir, run
the
Quick washprogramme immedi-
ately (without any crockery in the
dishwasher, and without selecting
the Turbo function) to remove any
traces of salt water from the cabinet.
If you only ever use combination
products containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch the messages off if you wish
(see "Settings menu - Refill display").
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 switch the messages back on.
