- + 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 •:‹‹.
- 2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.

- 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.
- 2. Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).
- 3. Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).

- Rinse aid
- As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator H is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1-2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.
- The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.
- Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.
- 2. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.
- 3. Close cover until it clicks shut.
- 4. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
- Setting amount of rinse aid
- The amount of rinse aid can be set from §:‹‹ to §:‹‡. Please set rinse aid on §:‹… to obtain very good drying results (§:‹… is already set in factory).
- Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.

- ■ 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
- 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.
- Cups and glasses
- Pans
- Cutlery drawer
- Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer 1* as illustrated. Separately arranged cutlery is easier to remove after washing.
- The drawer can be taken out.
- Depending on the model, you can fold down the side shelves to provide more room for taller items of cutlery. The front rows of prongs can be folded down to provide room for wider handles.

- 2 Cleaning and maintenance
- Cleaning and maintenance
- A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.
- Overall condition of the machine
- ■ Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.
- ■ Fill detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the appliance without utensils in the programme with the highest rinsing temperature.
- ■ To extend the life of your appliance, clean the appliance regularly with a special dishwasher detergent.
- ■ To ensure that the door seal always remains clean and hygienic, regularly clean it with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
- ■ If the appliance is switched off for a prolonged period, leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of an unpleasant odour.
- Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.
- Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
- Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.
- Special salt and rinse aid
- Filters
- The filters 1Z keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.
- The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a microfilter.
- 2. Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated and take out filter system.
- 3. Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
- 4. Re-install filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the filter system.
