Prior to using for the first time
1. Set the water softener
2. Fill up with special salt for water softeners
3. Fill up with rinse aid
3 If you wish to use 3in1 detergent, do the following:
– First read the section “Using 3in1 detergents”.
– Switch on the dishwasher, press 3in1 button. The button indicator
lights up: 3in1 function is selected. As a result
– there is no need to fill up with special salt or rinse aid.
– there is no need to set the water softener.
– there is no need to activate/deactivate the rinse aid inflow.
– Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the
detergent dispenser.
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 O
or 1 (see table).
Setting electronically:
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If indicators for the programme buttons are lit, a dishwashing cycle is
activated. The cycle must be deactivated:
Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
All other indicators will go out.
7
2. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
3. Press function button 1.
The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash.
The LED indicator for the end of the dishwashing cycle will flash simultaneously:
– The number of times that the LED indicator for the end of the dish-
washing cycle flashes corresponds to the hardness setting.
– This sequence of flashes is repeated several times, with a 3 second
pause in-between.
4. Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by 1 degree.
(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).
5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.
The hardness setting is now saved.
If the water softener is set electronically to “1”, this switches off the
control indicator for special salt.

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.
– When the control indicator for special salt is illuminated on the con-
trol panel.
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
dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt;
the capacity 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 salt grains, it can take several hours for
the salt to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for special
salt to go out.

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.
– When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control
panel.
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.
4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to
the broken “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.
10
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.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Press the release button on the rinse
aid compartment.
3. Open the cover.
4. Set the dosage level.
5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into
place.
6. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it
away with a cloth.
11
Activating/deactivating the inflow of rinse aid
If the 3 in1 button is pressed, you do not need to deactivate the inflow
of rinse aid.
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If indicators for the programme buttons are lit, a dishwashing cycle is
activated. The cycle must be deactivated:
Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
All other indicators will go out.
2. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
3. Press function button 2 .
The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash.
The indicator for the end of the dishwashing cycle will display the current setting:
Indicator for the end of the cycle is lit:
Indicator for the end of the cycle is not lit: Rinse aid inflow deactivated
4. Pressing function button 2 activates and deactivates the rinse aid dispensing function.
5. When the rinse aid inflow setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.
The setting for the rinse aid inflow is now saved.
