Softening the water
Dishwashers require fairly soft water. If the hardness exceeds 6°dH lime scale will form on crockery. To a oid
this an automatic system adds a special salt to soften the water so that you obtain the best possible cleaning
and drying performance.
To find out the hardness le el of your water contact your local water company, or use the enclosed test strip to
measure the water hardness:
Setting the water hardness level for the water softener
Turn on the tap and
let the water run for
about a minute.
Hold the test strip in
the water for about a
second.
Remove the test strip
from the water and
shake it.
Wait for 1 minute. The test strip shows
you the hardness
level.

Switch the appliance off again using the On/Off switch.
If the water hardness le el is less than 5°dH you do not need any special softening salt. In this case the 'Salt' Control
Indicator lights up continually (depending on the model).
If your local hardness le el exceeds 45°dH you should consider getting a water softening de ice for your dishwasher.
If you use stream water or rainwater you are recommended to install filters.
If you mo e do not forget to adjust the water hardness le el to suit your new neighbourhood.

Filling the dishwasher salt
Attention
Only use special dishwasher salt in your machine to
soften the water.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from
the use of the wrong salt type.
Do not use coarse grained salt. Small grains or powdered
salt is more easily soluble. Never use culinary or table
salt. These types of salt do not dissolve in water easily
and will damage the function of the softening device.
Remove the lower basket from the machine.
Open the screw-in cap of the salt container by turning it
counter clockwise (Fig. ).
When operating for the first time:
our 1 Litre of water into the salt container (Fig. ).
our the salt into the container with the aid of the supplied
salt funnel (Fig. ).
our in enough salt to
fill the container. The container holds approx. 2 kg.
Close the cap tightly.
Begin a washing programme immediately after filling the
salt container. The washing program prevents damage
to the machine which may be caused by any spilled salt
solution.
After the first washing cycle, the salt level indicator light
will go out.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aids allow washing water to rinse off more cleanly
and prevent watermarks or streaks on the dishes.
Only use rinse aids suited to use in dishwashers.
- Note -
If you use 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents / tabs, you do not
need an additional rinse aid.
Open the rinse aid dispenser by pressing the lock ( )
Carefully pour in rinse aid to the MAX mark.
Close the lid until it clicks in ( ).
Carefully wipe off spilled rinse aid. Excessive rinse aid
causes excessive foam formation, which may hinder
cleaning.
Set the dose of rinse aid
The dose of rinse aid to be used can be set by means of
the dispenser regulator between levels 1 and 6 ( ). Your
machine is pre-set at the factory to level 3.
Only change the setting if the following applies after
washing:
Watermarks are visible on the dishes: Set dosage
higher
Streaks are visible on the dishes: Set dosage lower
Filling the detergent dispenser
- Note -
Only use detergents suited to use in dishwashers.
Open the detergent container by pushing the lock to the
right ( ).
Marking lines on the inside of the detergent container aid
in providing the correct amount of detergent.
The detergent container holds a total of 40 cm³ of detergent
( ).
When the dishwasher is fully loaded and the dishes are
very dirty, we recommend filling the detergent container
up to the 25 cm³ mark. When the dishes are less dirty,
it is generally sufficient to fill the detergent up to the 15
cm³ mark.
If your dishes have been in the dishwasher for some time
without being washed, additionally fill the small container
up to the top ( ).
The detergent amounts for the individual cleaning
programmes are shown in the cleaning table.
Deviations are possible depending on how dirty the dishes
are and on how hard the water is in your location.

Detergents
There are 3 types of detergents:
1. Phosphate and containing chlorine
2. Phosphate containing, no chlorine
3. Neither containing phosphate nor chlorine
The new compact powders are normally phosphate free. As phosphates ha e water softening
properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container e en if the hardness of your water
is only 6°dH. In hard water areas, if a phosphate free detergent is used, white marks on the
dishes and glasses may be obser ed. It may be pre ented by increasing the amount of
detergent. Detergents without chlorine ha e less bleaching effect. Coloured stains may not
be fully remo ed. Choose a programme with a higher wash temperature.
Attention
Always store your detergents in locations which are cool, dry and out of the reach of children.
our the detergent into the detergent dispenser before turning the machine on.
Too much detergent may mean that the detergent does not dissolve properly and dishes are
scratched.
TWO-IN-ONE AND THREE-IN-ONE DETERGENTS
You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use a separate detergent, rinse
aid and water-softening salt.
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents known as two-in-one and three-
in-one.
Three-in-one: These products contain detergent, rinse aid and water-softening salt.
Two-in-one: These products contain detergent and either rinse aid or water-softening salt.
In general, you will obtain satisfactory results from combined detergents only under specific
usage conditions. These detergents contain predetermined amounts of rinse aid and/or softening
salt. This means that you cannot adjust the amount of water-softening salt and rinse aid that
you use to suit the water hardness le el in your home.
You should bear the following points in mind when using such detergents:
- Be sure to check the specifications of the product you are using and whether it is a combined
product or not.
- Follow the instructions on the packet when using these products.
- The use of these products at the correct applia ce setti gs will e sure eco omical
