hardness of the water supply. It is important that this setting is correct!
Do not forget to put salt in the salt compartment after you have set
the water softener to 1 - 9.
For a water supply with a hardness under 6°dH (9°fH), select 0. The
water softener is deactivated and no salt is needed.

Top up salt
1. Unscrew the salt compartment lid.
2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of water.
3. Then add salt, a maximum of 1.0 kg, until the compartment is full.
Use large grain salt or special dishwasher salt.
4. Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.
In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing programme must be
started immediately after adding salt.
To change the selected setting, see the chapter Settings.

Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Run programmes only with a full load
Wait to run a programme until the dishwasher is full, this way you save
energy. Use the Rinse & hold programme to rinse the dishes if there
are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become
fully loaded.
Run programmes at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a programme with
a low temperature.
Select Eco
This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty dishes and is
the most effective programme in terms of combined energy and water
consumption.
The dishwashing programme is designed for an effective wash using
as little energy and water as possible. The programme washes at a
low temperature for a long time.
Open the door a little once the programme has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto Open option,
which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the
dishwasher indicates that the programme has ended and the dishes
have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is
built-in the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any
condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the
building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's
energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain
materials used in some cookware cannot withstand strong heat.
