Operating Instructions Adjusting 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 degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.
Page 12
Operating Instructions Adjust the water softener to the hardness of the water in your area as stated in the table: 1. The dishwasher must be switched off. 2. Manual adjustment: Open the dishwasher door. 3. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
Operating Instructions Filling with Salt for the Water Softener Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent, 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 Rinse Aid Rinse aid ensures that dishes emerge thoroughly rinsed and spot free while glasses are clear and shining. There are two ways to add rinse aid: • If you use detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent and rinse aid are placed in the detergent container.
Operating Instructions Filling with Rinse Aid If you use separate detergent and rinse aid, fill up with rinse aid: – prior to using the dishwasher for the first time – when the RINSE AID indicator on the control panel is illuminated. The rinse aid compartment is on the inside of the dishwasher door.
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.
