Before washing for the first time Water hardness 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. Checking water hardness Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
Basic settings The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. See the chapter Settings. Set up: Rinse aid Water hardness 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.

Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
