- Programs LEDs will indicate the water hardness setting.
-Press the Programs button to increase setting (when the level reaches 7, the next key press will set the level back to 1.
- Wait 30 seconds (control panel switches off) or press START/Resume button to save setting.

min. 0.8 kg / max. 1 kg
Water hardness level is factory
set for medium-hard water
(level 4).
Even if you use tablets which
include salt functionality, you
must still add regeneration salt
since such detergents are not
effective enough at softening
hard water.
Screw on the cap.
Salt residual
around the cap
need to be
removed. Some
salt reservoir have
a level indicator
integrated in the
cap (see below
how to check).
At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 “Daily check”).

Check the rinse aid indicator to check the level
into the dispenser.
(depending on the model)
Rinse aid indicator on the control panel Rinse aid indicator on the dispenser
The indicator lamp lights up when RINSE AID NEEDS
TO BE ADDED.
dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the
appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty
drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with
rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
