- 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 9° Clarke must be softened. The water is softened with 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).
- The amount of salt dispensed can be set from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.
- Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.
- 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.
- As soon as the salt refill indicator H on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
- * depending on model
- 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.
- If the salt refill indicator H is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.
- m Warning
- Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.
- As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator P 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.
- 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).
- Change this setting, only if streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.
- If the rinse-aid refill indicator P is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.
- The rinse aid refill indicator P is now switched off.
- 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.
- Causes:
- Recommendation:
- Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.
- 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.
- Top basket 12
- Bottom basket 1b
- Tip
- Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket. The more powerful spray jet provides a better dishwashing result.
- Tip
- Other examples, such as the best way of loading your dishwasher, can be found on our homepage as a free download. The corresponding Internet address can be found on the back page of these instructions for use.
- Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer 1* as illustrated. Separately arranged utensils are 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.
- * depending on model
- The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 energy consumption.
