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
•:‹‹.

Glass and utensil damage
Causes:
Glass type and glass production
process.
Chemical composition of the
detergent.
Water temperature of the wash
programme.
Recommendation:
Use only glasses and porcelain
which the manufacturer designates
as dishwasher-proof.
Use a detergent which protects
utensils.
Take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher as soon as possible after
the programme ends.
Loading the dishwasher
1. Remove large food remnants. It is
not necessary to prerinse utensils
under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that
– they are secure and cannot tip
over.
– all utensils with their openings
face down.
– parts with curves or indentations
are at an angle, thereby allowing
water to drain.
– does not obstruct rotation of the
two spray arms 1: and 1Z.
Very small utensils should not be
washed in the machine, as they may fall
out of the baskets.
Unloading the dishwasher
To prevent water from dripping off the
upper basket onto the utensils in the
lower basket, it is recommended
to empty the appliance from the bottom
up.
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!
Therefore, when the programme ends,
leave the utensils to cool down in the
dishwasher until they can be handled.
Note
When the programme ends, water
droplets can still be seen inside
the appliance. This does not affect
the drying of the utensils.

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.
mWarning – Read and observe the
safety information and instructions for
use on the packaging for cleaning and
rinsing agents.
Adding detergent
1. If the detergent dispenser 9: is still
closed, press the lock 9B 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.
2. Close 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.
