1. Set the water softener

2. Fill up with special salt for water softeners

3. Fill up with rinse aid

Setting the water softener

The water softener must be set manually and electronically:

3 To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be

washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime 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.

The dishwasher must be switched off.

Setting manually:

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the

dishwasher.

3. Turn water hardness dial on the left wall of the dishwasher interior to 1 or 2 (see table).

Prior to using for the first time14

Adding special salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with special salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.

If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with special salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time. – If when starting a cycle the message REFILL SALT is displayed.

1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.

2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anticlockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dis penser opening. Fill the dispenser with special salt; the ca pacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.01.5 kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.

3 If water overflows when filling up with special salt, this is completely harmless.

5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.

6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with special salt.

This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.

3 Depending on the size of the grains, it can take several hours for the salt to dis

solve in the water and for the message REFILL SALT not to be displayed when starting a dishwashing cycle.

Filling up with rinse aid

With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get smearfree, gleaming dishes and clear glasses.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time. – If when starting a dishwashing cycle the message REFILL RINSE AID is dis

played.

Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers and no other liquid detergents.

1. Open the door. The rinse aid compartment is located on the inside of the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment.

3. Open the cover.

15Prior to using for the first time

4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to the bro ken “max” line; this corresponds to a volume of 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 there will be too much foam when rinsing.

Prior to using for the first time16

Setting the amount of rinse aid required

3 Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the amount)

or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on glasses and dishes. (See section “If dishwashing results are not satisfactory”.) The dosage can be set from 16. The dosage is preset to “4” in the factory.

2. Press the release button on the rinse aid

compartment.

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If the name of a programme stage is displayed in the display, a dishwashing cy

cle is active. First of all you must abort the dishwashing cycle:
