Prior to using for the first time
3If you wish to use 3 in 1 detergent:
– First read the section “Using 3in1 detergents”.
– Do not fill up with special salt or rinse aid.
If you do not use 3in1 detergent, before using for the first time
1. Set the water softener
2. Fill up with special salt for water softeners
3. Fill up with rinse aid
Setting the water softener
The water softener must be set manually and electronically:
3To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be
washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The water softener
must be set according to the table to the water hardness in the area where you
live. Your local water company will be able to give you information about the
water hardness in your area.
The dishwasher must be switched off.
Setting manually:
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the
dishwasher.
3. Turn water hardness dial on the left wall of
the dishwasher interior to 1 or 2 (see table).
Setting electronically:
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3If the only LED indicator illuminated is one
that belongs to a programme button, this
means that this dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cycle
must be deselected:
Press function buttons 2and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
The LED indicators of all the programme buttons that can be selected light up.
2. Press function buttons 2and 3simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.

cle flashes corresponds to the hardness setting.
–This sequence of flashes is repeated several times, with a 3 second pause in
between.
4. Pressing function button 1increases the hardness setting by 1 degree.
(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).
5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.
The hardness setting is now saved.

dicator for special salt.

Adding special salt
To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with special salt. Use only
special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.
If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with special salt:
–Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
–When the control 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 dis
penser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt; the ca
pacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.01.5
kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do
not overfill the dispenser.
3If 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 salt crystals that have been spilt.
3Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for the salt to
dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for special salt to go out.
