Operating Instructions Adjust the Water Softener To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degrees) is softened with the aid of special salt.
Operating Instructions Filling with Salt for the Water Softener Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter- gent as this would irreparably damage the water softener. Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand.
Operating Instructions Filling with Rinse Aid Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thor- ough rinsing, spot and streak free drying. Only use rinse aid specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid container with any other substance as this would dam- age the appliance.
Operating Instructions Adjusting Rinse Aid Dosing As the dishes are washed rinse aid is released from the dispenser into the wash water. The dose is factory set at 4, and can be adjusted from 1 to 6. Only change the setting if streaks, milky spots or dried on water marks are visible on glasses or crockery.
Operating Instructions In Daily Use • Check the salt and rinse aid levels. • Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher • Fill with dishwasher detergent • Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes • Start the wash programme Loading Cutlery and Dishes Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water should not be washed in the dishwasher...
