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 1 or 2 (see table).

2. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and keep them pressed.

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 control panel.
1. Open the door and remove the lower
basket.
2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. Only when using the dishwasher for the
first time:
Fill the salt dispenser with water.
4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dis
penser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt; the ca
pacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.01.5
kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do
not overfill the dispenser.
11Prior to using for the first time
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.
Prior to using for the first time12
Filling up with rinse aid
With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get smearfree,
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 bro
ken “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.
13Prior to using for the first time
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 16. The dosage is preset 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.
Prior to using for the first time14
Activating rinse aid inflow when 3in1 function is selected
3 If the 3in1 function is not selected, the rinse aid inflow is always activated.
If the 3in1 function is selected due to the use of 3in1 detergent, the rinse aid in
flow is deactivated. If the dishes then do not dry sufficiently, you should reacti
vate the rinse aid inflow (see also section “Using 3in1 detergents”).
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If the only LED indicator illuminated is one that belongs to a programme button,
this means that this dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cy
cle must be deselected:
Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
The LED indicators of all the programme buttons that can be selected light up.
2. Press function buttons 1 and 2 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 multidisplay will indicate the current setting:
0d Rinse aid inflow deactivated when 3in1 on (factory setting)
1d Rinse aid inflow activated when 3in1 on
4. Pressing function button 2 activates and deactivates the rinse aid dispensing
function.
5. Once the multidisplay is indicating the required setting, press the ON/OFF but
ton. The setting is now saved.

In daily use
Loading cutlery and dishes
1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not
be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Tefloncoated dishes and pans tend to
retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as
those made of china and stainless steel.
For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother of pearl handles
• Plastic items that are not heat
resistant
• Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature
• Dishes or cutlery with glued parts
• Pewter or copper items
• Lead crystal glass
• Steel items that rust
• Wooden boards/platters
• Items made from synthetic materials
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove the worst of the food residues.
– Soak pans with burnton food residues.
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that
water cannot collect in them
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover one an
other
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another
– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in the cut
lery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.
specifically marked by the manufacturer as being
dishwashersafe.
• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently
in the dishwasher.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing. Food remains, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolora
tion and staining on silver. Therefore always clean
food
residues from silver immediately, if it is not to be
washed straight after use.
• Glass can become dull after a large number of
washes.
