To prevent limescale buildup inside the
appliance:
– Refill the salt container whenever
necessary.
– Use the recommended dosage of the
detergent and rinse aid.
– Make sure that the current level of the water
softener agrees with the hardness of the
water supply.
– Follow the instructions in the chapter "Care
and cleaning".
THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental effect on
the washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your local
water authority can advise you on the hardness of
the water in your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good washing
results.
USING SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
•
Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage
to the appliance.
•
In areas with hard and very hard water we
recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent
(powder, gel, tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
•
At least once a month run the appliance with the
use of appliance cleaner which is particularly
suitable for this purpose.
•
Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short
programmes. To prevent detergent residues on
the tableware, we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
•
Always use the correct quantity of detergent.
Insufficient dosage of detergent can result in
poor cleaning results and hard-water filming or
spotting on the items. Using too much detergent
with soft or softened water results in detergent
residues on the dishes. Adjust the amount of
detergent based on the water hardness. Refer
to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

Make sure that the water softener level is
correct. If the level is too high, the increased
quantity of salt in the water might result in rust

dishes in the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the
water softener according to the water hardness
in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
