To ensure good washing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
containing low amounts of lime, otherwise
white limescale will be deposited on the
utensils and inner container.
Tap water above 9° Clarke must be
softened. The water is softened with salt
(regeneration salt) in the water softening
system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt depends on the degree of
hardness of your tap water (see table).
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be set
from
‹ to ˆ.
Sal is not required at the set value ‹.
– Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water
utility company will help you with this.
– Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
– Close the door.
– Hold down programme button +
and switch on the main switch (.
–Rel ease both buttons.

en7 Using special salt Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank. – Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 1B. – Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time). – Then add salt (not table salt). The water is displaced and runs out. * depending on model The salt refill indicator P on the fascia is lit. It goes out as soon as a sufficiently high salt solution has formed. If the set value ‹ is displayed, do not add any salt because salt will not be used during operation of the appliance, the salt display is switched off. If the set values ‚ to ˆ are displayed, salt must be added. Det er g en t s w it h sa lt c omponen tUsing detergents with salt component If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used. Sw it c h in gof fw ater s o ft e nin g syst emSalt refill indicator As soon as the salt refill indicator P on the fascia is lit, top up the salt. Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for several months. If the salt refill indicator P is impaired (e. g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off. – Proceed as described under “Setting water softening system” and set the value to ‹. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off. ã= Warning Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system. Special salt $

The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse
aid for domestic dishwashers.
Combined detergents with rinse-aid
component may be used up to a water
hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke,
3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness
is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.
– Open the cover on the rinse-aid dispenser 1j. To do this, press
the 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.

antique utensils. These decors are not
dishwasher-proof.
– Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
–Copper and ti n utensils.
– Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
Aluminium and silver parts have a
tendency to discolour and fade during the
wash cycle. Even some types of glass
(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy
after many wash cycles.
Glass and utensil damage
Causes:
– Glass type and glass production process.
– Chemical composition of the detergent.
– Water temperature of the wash programme.
Recommendation:
– Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as
dishwasher-proof.
– Use a detergent which protects utensils.
– Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after
the programme ends. Loading the dishwasher
– Remove large food remnants. It is not
necessary to prerinse utensils under
running water.
– Place the utensils so that – they are secure and cannot tip over.
– all utensils with their openings face down.
– parts with curves or indentations are at an angle, thereby allowing
water to drain.
– does not obstruct rotation of the two spray arms 12 and 1:.
Very small utensils should not be washed
in the machine, as they may fall out of the
baskets.
Unloading the dishwasher
To prevent water from dripping off the
upper basket onto the utensils in the lower
basket, it is recommended to empty
the appliance from the bottom up.
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!
Therefore, when the programme ends,
leave the utensils to cool down in the
dishwasher until they can be handled.
