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 .  
Salt 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. 
–Switch on ON/OF F switch( .
– Press and hold down the START  button @.
– Rotate programme selector 8 
until •:‹ ... is indicated on the digital 
display H. 
– Release button.
The factory set value •:‹…  is lit on the 
digital display H.
To change the setting: 
– Rotate programme selector 8 until 
the required value is indicated on the  
digital display H.
– Press START button @. 
The set value is saved.

– Fill the tank with water (only required  when switching on the appliance for  
the first time). 
– Then add dishwasher salt  (not table 
salt or tablets) . 
The water is displaced and runs out. 
As soon as the salt refill indicator  h on 
the fascia is lit, top up the salt.

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 dispenser  1b by pressing

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  12 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.

Tip 
Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should  
be placed in the bottom basket. The more 
powerful spray jet provides a better  
dishwashing result. 
Tip 
Other examples, such as the best way  
of loading your dishwasher, can be found 
on our homepage as a free download. The 
corresponding Internet address can  
be found on the back page of these  
instructions for use.
Cutlery drawer
Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer 
1  as illustrated. Separately arranged 
utensils are easier to remove after  
washing.
