a level indicator
integrated in the
cap (see below
how to check).

Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash program (the “Pre-wash” program alone is not sufficient).
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components.

Even if you use tablets which
include salt functionality, you
must still add regeneration salt
since such detergents are not
effective enough at softening
hard water.

At first time use, the salt
reservoir has to be filled
independently from water
hardness level (see description
below in step 1 “Daily check”).

Fill the salt reservoir with water

The indicator lamp lights up when RINS E AID NEEDS
TO BE ADDED.

dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the
appliance.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning t he dial to a lower setti ng (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase th e dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5- 6). Plastic di shes have more diff iculty
drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.

Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with
rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.

Daily use
