company will be able to give you information about the water
hardness in your area.

Adding special salt
Only use special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.
If you don’t use 3 in 1 detergent add special salt:
-Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
-When the indicator for special salt is illuminated on the control panel.
1. Open the door and remove the lower
basket.
2. Screw open the lid on the salt
dispenser by turning it anti-
clockwise.
3. Only when using the dishwasher
for the first time:
Fill the salt dispenser with water.
4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the
dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt;
the capacity of the dispenser is
approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do not
overfill the dispenser.
If water overflows when filling up with special salt, this is completely
harmless.
5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.
6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.
7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with
special salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that
have been spilt.
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours
for the salt to dissolve in the water and for the SALT indicator to go
out.

Adding rinse aid
With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get
smear-free, gleaming dishes and clear glasses.
Only use special rinse aid for dishwashers and no other liquid
detergents.
If you don’t use 3 in 1 detergent add rinse aid:
-Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
-When the indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel.
1. Open the door. The rinse aid
compartment is located on the
inside of the dishwasher door.
2. Press the release button on the rinse
aid compartment.
3. Open the cover.
4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up
to the broken “max” line;
this corresponds to a volume of
approx. 140 ml when full.
5. Press the lid shut until it clicks
into place.
6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a
cloth. Otherwise too much foam
will be formed when rinsing.
Setting the amount of rinse
aid required
Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots or dried on
water spots can be seen on glasses and dishes. (See section “If wash
results are not satisfactory”). The dosage can be set from 1-6. The
dosage is set to “4” in the factory.
