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 7° dH (from set value
•:‹‚) must be softened. The water is
softened with 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 •:‹‹.
– Find out about the hardness value of
your tap water. Your water utility
company will help you with this.
– Set value can be found in the water
hardness table.
– Close the door.
–Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
– Hold down programme button # and
press START button P until •:‹.... is
indicated on the digital display.
– Release both buttons.
The LED for button # flashes and the
digital display )" displays the factory
setting •:‹….
To change the setting:
– Press programme button 3.
Each time the button is pressed, the
set value increases by one level; when
the value of •:‹ˆ has been reached,
the display jumps back to •:‹‹ (off).
– Press START button P.
The chosen setting has now been
stored.

Using special salt
Always refill with special salt immediately
before switching on the appliance. This
ensures that overrun special salt solution
is immediately washed out and does not
corrode the rinsing tank.
– Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment 1J.
– Fill the tank with water (only required
when switching on the appliance for
the first time).
– Then add dishwasher salt (not table
salt or tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.
As soon as the salt refill indicator ` on
the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
* depending on model
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.
Switching off salt refill indicator/
water softening system
If the salt refill indicator ` is impaired
(e.g. when using combined detergents
containing salt component), it can be
switched off.
– Proceed as described under “Adjusting
the water softening system” and set the
value to •:‹‹.
The water softening system and salt
refill indicator are now switched off.
ã=Warnings
– Never fill the salt dispenser with
detergent. You will destroy the water
softening system.
– To prevent corrosion, always refill with
salt immediately before switching on
the appliance.

reserve of 1 – 2 rinsing processes. Refill
with rinse aid.
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse
aid for domestic dishwashers.
Combined detergents with rinse-aid
component may be used up to a water
hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke,
3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is
over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.
–Open the dispenser 1b by pressing
and lifting the plate on the cover.
– Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max.
mark in the filler opening.
– Close cover until it clicks shut.
– To prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove any
rinse aid which has run over with a
cloth.
Setting amount of rinse aid
The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be
set from §:‹‹ to §:‹‡. This is the factory
setting §:‹†.

unless streaks (select lower setting) or
water stains (select higher setting) are left
on the utensils.
– Close the door.
– Switch on ON/OFF switch (.

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
– Remove large food remnants. It is not
necessary to prerinse utensils under
running water.
– 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 12 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.
