Before washing for the first time

Salt compartment lid

The water softener

In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Water hardness is specified using the following scales: The German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water hardness scale (°fH). A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 6°dH (9°fH) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the softener to function optimally, it must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply.
Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.

Adjusting the water softener

Chapter Settings on page 9 describes how to adjust the water softener.

Fill up the salt

Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener, you must fill the salt compartment with salt for the water supply to be softened automatically. Use large grain salt or special dishwasher salt.
WARNING!
In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing programme must be started immediately after adding salt.
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment. This destroys the water softener!

Refill salt indicator

When the salt needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the display.
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cap and fill the container with salt. Water is only needed the first time! Wipe clean and tighten. Run a programme to ensure that any salt in the dishwasher is rinsed away.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes out.

Top up with rinse aid

Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes.
Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
1
Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the
2
level marked max.
Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the
3
compartment.
Close the lid firmly.
4

Do as follows the first time:

Unscrew the lid as illustrated.
1
Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
2
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of water.
Then add salt, a maximum of 1.5 kg, until the
3
compartment is full.
Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed
4
on firmly.
Run a programme to ensure that any salt in the
5
dishwasher is rinsed away.

Refill rinse aid indicator

When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the display.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes out.

Setting the rinse aid dosage

The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid dosage. Rinse aid dispensing can be set from 0 (Off) to 5 (High dose). (Factory settings: 5)

Increase the rinse aid dosage:

If the dishes have water marks.

Decrease the rinse aid dosage:

If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
• If the dishes are streaked.
• Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse
• aid can be diluted 50:50 with water.

Loading the dishwasher

Economic dishwashing

Do not start the dishwasher until it is fully loaded to save
• energy.
Do not rinse under running water. Simply scrape off
• large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose an environmentally-friendly detergent. Read the
• environmental declaration on the packaging!
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a
• programme with a low temperature.
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto
• open option, which automatically opens the dishwasher door once the programme has ended.

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.

The dishwasher's baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket.
WARNING!
Be careful with fully loaded dishwasher baskets. Push the baskets in to avoid risking the dishwasher tipping over.

Top cutlery tray

The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.
shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).

Raising and lowering the upper basket

Pull out the upper basket.
1
Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and
2
lift it up.
Repeatedly lift the basket with both hands to change its
3
position. (The upper basket can be set in three positions.) When the upper basket is in the highest position lifting it will return it to the lowest position. Note that both sides of the basket must always be set to the same height.

Upper basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass
4

Foldable tines

The foldable tines can be folded up or down to make it easier to load pots, bowls and glasses. Release the foldable tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their position.

Lower basket

Place plates, side plates, serving dishes and pots in the lower basket.

Foldable tines

Fold down the foldable tines (plate supports) when dishwashing pots. Release the foldable tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their position.
NOTE!
Place the dishes in the machine so that the rinse water will run off them; this is especially important for plastic.
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Using the dishwasher

Add detergent

Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is a compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If powder and liquid dishwasher detergents are used, add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
Prewash detergent compartment
1
Main wash detergent compartment
2
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.

Dishwasher tablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programmes (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

3-in-1/All-in-one detergent

Read through the directions for these products carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.
Chapter Settings describes how to activate TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent). Note that salt must be put in the salt compartment. If you are not satisfied with the dishwashing or drying results, deactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent) and top up with salt, detergent and rinse aid. See Chapter Before washing for the first time.

Eco wash

This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty dishes and is the most effective programme in terms of combined energy and water consumption.

Quick wash

This programme is used for glasses and porcelain that is slightly dirty, such as coffee cups.
