dishwashing cycle.

content. The water softener must be set according to the table to
the water hardness in the area where you live. Your local water
company will be able to give you information about the water
hardness in your area.

set manually and electronically:

smear-free, gleaming dishes and clear glasses.

-Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

-When the indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel.

compartment is located on the
inside of the dishwasher door.

2. Press the r elease button on the rinse
aid compartment.

to the broken “max” line;

approx. 140 ml when full.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks
into place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a
cloth. Otherwise too much foam
will be formed when rinsing.
