Water
 softener
In  order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily , the dishwasher requires soft
water , i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e.decalcified, so that it can be used in the 
dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher . 
The water softener , that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to howhard the tap water is. Setting  up the water softener
Determine  the level of hardness of your
tap water . Your local water company or
service agent can help you with this.
Identify setting from the following water hardness table.
Water  hardness table
Press and hold the B programme
button, and set the main switch 
1 to
ON, before releasing the programme button again. The indicator lamp for the 
B  button
flashes, as does the figure 
 
in the numerical display . The latter
represents the value that was pre-set in the factory .
T o change the setting:
Press the 
B  programme button 9.
Every time the button is pressed, the figure increases by one. After reaching
, the display starts at  again.
Set the main switch 1 to OFF . The
new setting is stored in the appliance’ s
memory.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for regenerating the water softening system.The overall water consumption per load can therefore be increased by between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the water hardness setting.

8 Filling
 the salt dispenser
Salt  must always be filled before the
appliance is switched on, so that excess salt solution is immediately flushed away to prevent corrosion.
Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 
24 .
Before using the appliance for the first time, pour about 1 litre of water in the salt container .
Then refill with salt  (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full (max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,water is being displaced and drains of f.
The LOW SALT indicator 7 on the front 
panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become suf ficiently
concentrated. When the control is set to 
, it is not
necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The LOW SAL T indicator is
switched of f. If the control is set between
 and , then salt must be added to the
dispenser.
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener .
Salt  refill indicator
As  soon as the salt refill indicator 
7 is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle. Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for several months.

Adding
 rinse aid
The  rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.

mark (1
) on the cover and
simultaneously lift the cover on the control plate (2

Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just below the edge of the filler opening.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.
T o prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove anyrinse aid which has run over with a cloth. Adjusting
 the amount of
rinse-aid The  amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the stepless control. The rinse-aid control has been set to ”4” in the factory .
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aidcontrol unless streaks (turn knob towards ”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”) are left on the dishes.
