Water softening system/Special salt
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 1.2 mmol/l must be
softened. The water is softened with
special 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).
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be
set from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.
Salt is not required at the set
value •:‹‹.
1. Find out about the hardness value of
your tap water. Your water utility
company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water
hardness table.
3. Close the door.
4. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.

compartment 1J.
2. Fill the tank with water (only required
when switching on the appliance for
the first time).
3. Then add dishwasher salt (not table

As soon as the salt refill indicator h
on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
Using detergents with salt
component
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.
Detergents with salt component
Switching off salt refill

Utensils en
- Utensils
Utensils
Not suitable
Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
Delicate decorative glasses, craft
and antique utensils. These decors
are not dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash,
wax, lubricating grease or ink.
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.
Glass and utensil damage
Causes:
Glass type and glass production
process.
Chemical composition of the
detergent.
Water temperature of the wash
programme.
Recommendation:
Use only glasses and porcelain
which the manufacturer designates
as dishwasher-proof.
Use a detergent which protects
utensils.
Take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher as soon as possible after
the programme ends.
Loading the dishwasher
1. Remove large food remnants. It is
not necessary to prerinse utensils
under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that
– they are secure and cannot tip
over.
– all utensils with their openings
face down.
– parts with curves or indentations
are at an angle, thereby allowing
water to drain.
– does not obstruct rotation of the
two spray arms 1: and 1B.
Very small utensils should not be
washed in the machine, as they may fall
out of the baskets.
Unloading the dishwasher
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.
Note
When the programme ends, water
droplets can still be seen inside
the appliance. This does not affect
the drying of the utensils.
