    • 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 •:‹‹.
      • 1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
      • 2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
      • 3. Close the door.
      • 4. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.

    • 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.
        • 1. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 12.
        • 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).
      • As soon as the salt refill indicator @ on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
      • * depending on model
    • Using detergents with salt componentDetergents with salt component
      • If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/ l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.

    • 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.

    • Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.
    • Glass and utensil damage
      • Causes:
      • Recommendation:
    • Loading the dishwasher
      • 1. Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
      • 2. Place the utensils so that
      • Very small utensils should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they can easily fall out of the utensils basket 1B.
    • Unloading the dishwasher
      • 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

    • 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
    • If you find such deposits:
    • Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
    • 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.
