– If your household water system is

However, if your water is heated by

build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐
ery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level high‐
er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70
°d - German scale).

If this setting corresponds to the hard‐

However, if you have a different water

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
cr
ockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage res‐
ervoir and the amount set is dispensed
automatically.
nadvertently filling the rinse aid
I
reservoir with powder or liquid deter‐
gent will damage the reservoir. Only
pour rinse aid formulated for domes‐
tic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– household vinegar with a max. 5%
aci
d content
or
– liquid citric acid up to 10% acid con‐
t
ent
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
If you only ever use combination
products containing rinse aid in your
dishwasher, you do not need to add
rinse aid.

Do not use vinegar with a higher

Before using for the first time
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks

the rinse aid reservoir during a pro‐
gramme.
Add rinse aid reminder
When the Rinse aid indicat
comes on, the reservoir contains suffi‐
cient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes on‐
ly.
Add rinse aid in plenty of time.

Setting the rinse aid dosage
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for
best r
esults.
The rinse aid dosage can be set from
appr
ox. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommen‐
ded setting of approx. 3 ml at the facto‐
ry.
The dosage can turn out to be higher
n the set value due to the automatic

gramme.
If spots appear on crockery and glass‐

Small items, e.g. lids, should there‐

Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or toma‐

washer may discolour if large quanti‐
ties of these foodstuffs find their way
into the dishwasher on the crockery.
The stability of plastic items is not
affected by this discolouration.
Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐

to discolour.
