Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and

When the dishwasher has reached the
end of its service life and is to be disposed
of, it should immediately be made
unusable. Pull out the power cable and
cut it as short as possible.
Contact your local authority for information
about where and how your dishwasher
should be correctly recycled.

Before washing for the first time
The water softener
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.
Water hardness is specified using the
following scales: The German water
hardness scale (°dH) and the French
water hardness scale (°fH). A water supply
with a water hardness in excess of 6°dH
(9°fH) must be softened. This is done
automatically with the aid of the built-in
water softener. In order for the softener
to function optimally, it must be adjusted
to the hardness of the water supply.
Contact the local waterworks to check the
water hardness in your area.
Adjusting the water softener
Chapter Settings on page 14 describes
how to adjust the water softener.
Top up with salt
Before you begin using a dishwasher with
a water softener, you must fill the salt
compartment with salt for the water supply
to be softened automatically. Use large
grain salt or special dishwasher salt.
WARNING!
In order to avoid rust stains a
dishwashing programme must be started
immediately after adding salt.
Never pour dishwasher detergent into
the salt compartment. This destroys the
water softener!
Do as follows the first time:
1 Unscrew the lid as illustrated.
