Water softening system/Special salt
Water softening system/Special salt
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 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 table).
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be set from •:‹‹ to
•:‹ˆ.
Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.
1Find out about the hardness value of your tap
water. Your water utility company will help you
with this.
2Set value can be found in the water hardness
table.
3Open the door.
4Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
5Hold down programme button #and press

The LED for button #flashes and the digital
display 8displays the factory setting •:‹….
To change the setting:
1Press programme button 3.
Each time the button is pressed, the set value
increases by one level; when the value of •:‹ˆ
has been reached, the display jumps back
to •:‹‹ (off).
2Press START button )".
The chosen setting has now been stored.
3Close the door.
Water hardness table
Using special salt
Always refill with special salt immediately before
switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun
special salt solution is immediately washed out and
does not corrode the rinsing tank.
1Open the screw-type cap of the compartment
1R.
2Fill the tank with water (only required when
switching on the appliance for the first time).
3Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or
tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.
As soon as the salt refill indicator Hon the fascia is
lit, top up the salt.

Detergent
Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid
detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing
up liquid. The dosage can be individually adjusted
with powder or a liquid detergent according
to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain an adequately
large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning
tasks. Modern, powerful detergents predominantly
use a low-alkaline formulation with phosphate
and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water.
Enzymes break down starch and remove protein.
Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These
have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity
and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured
stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen-based
bleaching agents are usually used.
Note
To ensure a good washing result, always follow
the instructions on the detergent packaging!
If you have further questions, we recommend that
you contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
ã=Warning
Read and observe the safety information and
instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and
rinsing agents.
Adding detergent
1If the detergent dispenser 9* is still closed,
press the lock 92 to open the detergent
dispenser.
Pour detergent into the dry detergent
dispenser 9* only (insert tablet flat, not on its
edge). Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions
on the packaging.
The graduated detergent dispenser 9* helps
you add the correct amount of powder or liquid
detergent.
Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal
soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.
2Close the cover on the detergent dispenser
by sliding it up until the lock engages without
difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically
at the optimum time depending on the
programme. The powder or liquid detergent
is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved,
the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray
where it dissolves in doses.
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than
the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
Suitable detergents and care products can be
purchased online via our website or via customer
service (see back page).

Detergent
Combination detergent
Apart from conventional detergents (Solo), a number
of products are offered with additional functions.
These products contain not only the detergent but
also rinse-aid and salt replacement substances (3in1)
and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.),
additional components such as glass protection
or stainless steel cleaner. Combination detergents
function only up to a specific degree of hardness
(usually 26° Clarke). Over this limit salt and rinse-aid
must be added.
As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse
programme is adjusted automatically to ensure
the best possible rinsing and drying result.
ã=Warnings
Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet
collecting tray 1:; this prevents the tablet from
dissolving evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after
the programme has started, do not use the tablet
collecting tray 1: as a handle for the upper
basket. The tablet could already be there and
you will touch the partially dissolved tablet.
Notes
You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results
by using solo detergents and applying salt and
rinse aid separately.
If programmes are short, tablets may not have full
cleaning effect due to different dissolving
properties and there may even be undissolved
detergent residue. It is recommended to use
washing powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some models)
requires one tab only. When using washing
powder, you can apply some of this cleaning
agent to the inside of the appliance’s door.
Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is
lit, the rinse programme will run correctly with
combined detergents.
If using detergents in a water-soluble protective
cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only
and put the detergent into an absolutely
dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise
the detergent may stick.
If you switch from combined detergents to solo
detergents, ensure that the water softening
system and amount of rinse aid have been set to
the correct value.

¥ Turbo Turbo *
The Turbo programme significantly reduces the
programme running time. The energy consumption is
increased by up to 30% due to more intensive heating.
The time reduction affects the following programmes:
Half load §Half load *
If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses,
cups, plates), you can switch to “half load”. This will
save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put
a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than
for a full load.
·Hygiene *
Hygiene
The temperature is increased during the cleaning
process. This increases the hygiene status. This
additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping
boards and baby bottles.
ÏIntensive zone *
Intensivezone
Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled
pots and pans in the lower basket together with
normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray
pressure in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing
temperature is increased slightly.
¿Extra drying *
Extradryin g
An increased temperature during the final rinse and
an extended drying phase ensure that even plastic
parts dry better. There is a slight increase in the

temperature or line pressure may result in deviations.
Aquasensor Aqua sensor *
* depending on model
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light
barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing
water.
The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme.
If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can
be transferred to the next rinse bath and water
consumption can be reduced by 3–6 litres. If the
turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is
replaced with fresh water. In the automatic
programmes the temperature and running time can
also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.
Auto: Time reduction up to 25%
