WATER SOFTENER
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local
Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
ADJUSTING SALT CONSUMPTION
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the
hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of
salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption:
1. Open the door and Switch on the appliance.
2. Press the Programme button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener setting within
60 seconds after the appliance was switched on (The Salt and Rinse Aid warning lights will be
on periodically when it is in this setting mode).
3. Press the Programme button to select the proper setting according to your local environment,
the settings will change in the following sequence: H4 H5 H6 H1 H2 H3
4. Press the Power button to end the set up model.

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
WATER SOFTENER
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher,
deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed
to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in
the following:
ATTENTION:
»Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers. Every other type
of salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage
the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer
does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
»Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will
prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on.
Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the
salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models),you can estimate when to fill
the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive salt.
Always use the salt intended for use with dishwasher.
The salt container is located beneath the low er basket and should be filled as explained
in the following:
Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed for the use in dishwashers! Every other type o f
salt not sp ecifically desi gned fo r the use in a d ishwasher, es pecially table salt, will
damage the water softener. In case o f damages caused by the use of unsuitable
salt the manu facturer does not give any warranty nor is lia ble for any damages caused.
Only f ill with s alt just be fore starting o ne o f th e com plete washin g prog ram s.
This will preve nt any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the m achine for any period of time, which may cause
cor ro sion.

The r inse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can
leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is
designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser.
To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns com pletely
black. The vo lum e of t he r inse a id container is about 110ml.

2.With phosphate and without chlorine
3.Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the
hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of hard water
often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will
not be removed completely. In this case please choose a programme with a higher temperature.

CONCENTRATED DETERGENT
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
»Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
»Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
DETERGENT TABLETS
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore
please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and Rinse Aid than
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal
wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before
starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
