+ Water softening

system / special salt

Wat er sof t eni ng syst em/speci al sal t

To ensure good rinsing results, the

dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.

water which is low in lime, otherwise

limescale will be deposited on the

utensils and interior container. Tap

water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must

be softened. The water is softened with

special 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 following water

hardness table).

Water hardness table

Adjusting the water softening

system

You can set the amount of salt that

should be added to a value between

•:‹‹ and •:‹ˆ. No salt is needed with

the setting •:‹‹.

Here’s how to set up the amount of

added salt:

1. Ask your local water utility company

for the water hardness value of the

tap water.

2. Required setting can be found in the

water hardness table.

3. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.

4. Press and hold the ‹ button

for 3 seconds.

In the display window )" you will

see the factory setting •:‹… and ‘. .

5. Adjust the setting using the buttons -

and + P.

6. Press and hold the ‹ button

for 3 seconds.

The chosen setting has now been

stored in your dishwasher.

Using special salt

Top up the special salt as soon as the

salt refill indicator H lights up in the

control panel. Always top up the special

salt immediately before switching on the

dishwasher. This ensures that overrun

special salt solution is immediately

rinsed out and that corrosion in the

washing tank cannot occur.

Caution!

Detergent will destroy the water

softening unit! Never pour detergent into

the dispenser for special salt.

Top up the special salt as follows:

1. Undo the screw plug on the

dispenser 1R.

2. Fill the dispenser with water

(required only when switching on the

appliance for the first time).

3. Add special salt as illustrated (do

not use table salt or tablets).

Using detergents with salt

replacement substances

Det er gent s wi t h sal t r epl ac ement s ubs t a nce s

According to the manufacturers,

detergents with salt replacement

substances can only be used up to a

specific degree of hardness (usually

21° dH, 37° fH, 26° Clarke,

3.7 mmol/l) if no special salt is added.

For optimum cleaning and drying

results, we recommend using special

salt from a water hardness of 14° dH

(25° fH, 17° Clarke, 2.5 mmol/l).

Switching off salt refill

indicator/water softening unit

Swi t c h i n g of f wa t e r sof t eni ng uni t

If the salt refill indicator H bothers

you (e.g. if you are using a combination

detergent with a salt component), you

can switch off the salt refill indicator.

Proceed as described under "Setting

water softening unit" and set the value

to •:‹‹. The water softening unit and

the salt refill indicator are switched off.

, Rinse aid

Ri n s e ai d

The rinse aid ensures stain-free dishes

and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid

for domestic dishwashers. As soon as

the rinse aid refill indicator @ lights up

in the control panel, there is still a rinse

aid reserve of 1-2 rinse cycles. Top up

the rinse aid.

Top up the rinse aid as follows:

1. Open dispenser 9"; press lug on

the lid (1) and lift (2).

2. Add rinse aid up to the max. mark.

3. Close the lid.

The lid "clicks" into position.

4. Remove overflowed rinse aid with a

cloth.

This prevents excessive frothing

during the next rinse cycle.

factory setting is §:‹†. Do not change

the amount of rinse aid unless there are

Set a lower level to avoid streaks. Set a

higher level to avoid water stains.

Here’s how to set the amount of rinse

■ Utensils which are soiled with ash,

wax, lubricating grease or ink.

highly caustic alkaline or highly

acidic cleaning agents, in particular

commercial or industrial cleaning

agents.

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

■ Glass type and glass production

process.

■ Chemical composition of the

Loading the dishwasher

Using the dishwasher normally allows

you to save energy and water

compared to washing-up by hand.

1. Remove large food remnants.

Prerinsing under running water is not

necessary - nor is this a good idea in

terms of saving energy.

2. Arrange tableware so that

– it is secure and cannot tip over.

– all tableware with the openings

face down.

– parts with curves or recesses are

at an angle, so allowing water to

drain off.

– rotation of the two spray arms

1: and 1J is not obstructed.

To save energy and water, load the

dishwasher to its specified capacity.

Very small items of tableware should

not be washed in the machine as they

may easily fall out of the baskets.

Upper basket

Arrange cups and glasses in the upper

basket 12.

* depending on the features of your

dishwasher

Note: Utensils must not be placed

above the tablet collecting tray 1B.

These may block the lid of the detergent

dispenser and prevent it from opening

fully.

Lower basket

Arrange pots and plates in the lower

basket 1j.

* depending on the features of your

dishwasher

Tip: Heavily soiled utensils (pans)

should be placed in the lower basket.

The more powerful spray jet provides a

better dishwashing result.
