en Water softening system/special salt
+Water softening system / special salt
To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7° dH (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 following water hardness table).

Adjusting the water softening system
You can set the amount of salt that should be added to a value between
•:‹‹ and •:‹ˆ. No salt is needed with the setting •:‹‹.
Here’s how to set up the amount of added salt:
1.Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of the tap water.
2.Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.
3.Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
4.Press and hold the ‹ button for 3 seconds.
In the display window )" you will see the factory setting •:‹… and ‘. .
5.Adjust the setting using the buttons - and + P.
6.Press and hold the ‹ button for 3 seconds.
The chosen setting has now been stored in your dishwasher.
Using special salt
Top up the special salt as soon as the salt refill indicator H lights up in the control panel. Always top up the special salt immediately before switching on the dishwasher. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately rinsed out and that corrosion in the washing tank cannot occur.
Caution!
Detergent will destroy the water softening unit! Never pour detergent into the dispenser for special salt.
14
Top up the special salt as follows:
1.Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 1R.
2.Fill the dispenser with water (required only when switching on the appliance for the first time).
3.Add special salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.
* |
*Depending on the features of your dishwasher
Using detergent with a salt component
In general, you can use detergent with a salt component up to a water hardness level of 21 °dH (37 °fH, 26 °Clark, 3.7 mmol/L) without adding special salt. Above a water hardness value of 21 °dH, use additional special salt.
Switching off salt refill indicator/water softening unit
If the salt refill indicator H bothers you (e.g. if you are using a combination detergent with a salt component), you can switch off the salt refill indicator.
Proceed as described under "Setting water softening unit" and set the value to •:‹‹. The water softening unit and the salt refill indicator are switched off.
Rinse aid en
,Rinse aid
The rinse aid ensures stain-free dishes and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. As soon as the rinse aid refill indicator @lights up in the control panel, there is still a rinse aid reserve of 1-2 rinse cycles. Top up the rinse aid.
Top up the rinse aid as follows:
1.Open dispenser 9"; press lug on the lid (1) and lift (2).
2 |
1 |
2. Add rinse aid up to the max. mark.
