en 6 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 a specific degree of water hardness must be softened, i.e. descaled, for use in a dishwasher. Water is softened with special 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 in 4 stages depending on the hardness of your water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see table). Factory setting: 1. – Find out about the hardness value of your tap water.

Not suitable
– Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
– Delicate decorative glasses, craft and 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 1: and 1B.
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.
