– If your household water system is

Water softener

In order to achieve good cleaning re‐ sults, the dishwasher needs t with soft water. Hard water results in a 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).

– The water softener requires dish‐

washer salt. Dependin level (< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - Ger‐ man scale), dishwasher salt is not re‐ quired if combination tablets are be‐ ing used (see "Operation - Deter‐ gent").

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.

Alternatively, it is possible to use – household vinegar with a max. 5%

aci

d content or – liquid citric acid up to 10% acid con‐

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.

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

If, however, there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with a special dish‐ washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐ ries"). Follow the instructions on the packaging.

Using mainly low temperature pro‐ gr

easily accessible after the dishwash‐ er has been installed. Do not con‐ nect the dishwasher to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guaran‐ tee the required safety of the appli‐ ance (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not connect the appliance solely to an inve autonomous energy source e.g. solar power. When switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety switch-off mechanism to be triggered. This can damage the electronic unit. The machine must not be used with socalled energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the machine, causing it to overheat.

Drainage

– The appliance drainage system is fit‐

ed with a non-return valve which

t prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the drain hose.

– The dishwasher is supplied with ap‐

ox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with

pr an internal diameter of 22 mm.

– The drain hose can be extended us‐

a connection piece to attach a

ing further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m, and the delivery head must not ex‐ ceed 1 m.

– If the hose is to be directly fitted to

ainage outlet on site, use the

the dr hose clip supplied (see installation di‐ agram).

– The hose can be directed to the left

or the right of the appliance.

– The on-site connector for the drain

se can be adapted to different widths of hose. If the connector pro‐ trudes too far into the drain hose, it will need to be shortened. Otherwise the drain hose may become blocked.

Venting the drainage system

If the on-site drain connection is situ‐ at

ed lower than the guide path for the bottom basket rollers in the open door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water.
