Water softener

In order to rinse dishes and glassessatisfactorily, the dishwasher requires softwater, i.e. containing little or no lime,otherwise water stains will be left behindon crockery and glasses, etc.If the tap water exceeds a certain level ofhardness, it must be softened, i.e.decalcified, so that it can be used in thedishwasher.This is achieved by adding a special saltto the water softener inside thedishwasher. The water softener, that is the requiredamount of salt, is set up according to howhard the tap water is.

Setting up the water softenerDetermine the level of hardness of yourtap water. Your local water company orservice agent can help you with this.Identify setting from the following waterhardness table.Hold down the programme button Band switch on the main switch 1 ,then release the buttons.The display 5 flashes and buttons

A and B illuminate.(Hardness value 2 was set at thefactory).

To change the setting: Pressprogramme button B . Each depression of the buttonincreases the set value by one (0–3).If buttons A , B and C illuminate,the maximum hardness value has beenreached.If the hardness value is now increasedagain, the illuminated buttons go outand the hardness value is set to 0 (nobuttons illuminated).Switch off the mains switch 1 .The set value is stored in the appliance.

Approx. 4 litres of water are required forregenerating the water softening system.The overall water consumption per loadcan therefore be increased by between 0and a maximum of 4 litres according to thewater hardness setting.

Filling the salt dispenser

Salt must always be filled before theappliance is switched on, so that excesssalt solution is immediately flushed awayto prevent corrosion.

Open the screw-type cap of thecompartment 27 .Before using the appliance for the firsttime, pour about 1 litre of water in thesalt container.Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)until the salt container is full(max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,water is being displaced and drains off.

The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguishagain after a short period when the saltsolution has become sufficientlyconcentrated.If the set hardness value is ”0”, do notadd salt because no salt is used duringoperation; the salt refill indicatoris switched off.

WarningDo not pour detergent into the containerfor special salt. This would destroy thewater softener.

Salt refill indicatorAs soon as the salt refill indicator 5 is liton the control panel, refill with saltimmediately before the next rinse cycle.Depending on the washing frequency andthe hardness setting, the regeneration saltmay not have to be topped up for severalmonths.

Adding rinse aid

The rinse aid is required for stain-freeutensils and clear glasses.Use only rinse aid for domesticdishwashers.

Open the cover on the rinse-aiddispenser 30 . To do this, press the

mark (1 ) on the cover andsimultaneously lift the cover on the

control plate (2 ).

Carefully pour in the rinse aid to justbelow the edge of the filler opening.

Close the lid, ensuring that you hear itsnap closed.

To prevent excessive foam formationduring the next rinse cycle, remove anyrinse aid which has run over with a cloth.

Adjusting the amount ofrinse-aidThe amount of rinse-aid added to thewater can be varied by adjusting thestepless control. The rinse-aid control hasbeen set to ”4” in the factory.

Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aidcontrol unless streaks (turn knob towards”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)are left on the dishes.

Utensils

Not suitableCutlery and utensils made of wood.Fragile decorative glasses,hand-crafted and antique utensils.These decorative items are notdishwasher-proof.Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.Copper and tin utensils.Utensils which are soiled with ash,wax, lubricating grease or ink.Absorbent materials such as spongesand cloths.

Aluminium and silver parts have atendency to discolour and fade during thewash cycle. Even some types of glass(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudyafter many wash cycles.

Recommendation:In future buy utensils which are identifiedas dishwasher-proof.

Damage to glassware and otherdishesPossible causes:

type of glass or manufacturing processchemical composition of detergentwater temperature and duration ofdishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

Use glassware or porcelain dishes thathave been marked ’dishwasher–proof’by the manufacturer.Use a mild detergent that is describedas ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seekfurther information from detergentmanufacturers.Select a programme with as low atemperature and as short a duration aspossible.To prevent damage, take glass andcutlery out of the dishwasher as soonas possible after the programme hasended.

Loading the dishwasherIt is not necessary to rinse them offunder running water.When loading the dishwasher, ensurethat� all utensils are secure and cannot

fall over.� the openings of all receptacles are

face down.� curved or indented utensils are at

an incline, allowing water to drain.� the two spray arms can rotate freely.

Very small items should not be washed inthe dishwasher as they could easily fall outof the baskets.

Removing the dishesTo prevent water dripping from the topbasket onto the dishes in the lower basket,we recommend that you empty the lowerbasket first and then the top basket.

Cups and glassesUpper basket 20

Pots and pansLower basket 26

CutleryCutlery should be placed in thedishwasher always unsorted and with theeating surface pointing downwards. Thespray jet is then better able to reach theindividual parts.To prevent injuries, place long, pointedaccessories and knives on the étagère(some models) or on the knife shelf(available as an accessory).

Folding spikes ** on applicable modelsTo improve stacking of pots and pans, thespikes can be folded down.

Shelf ** not on all modelsLean tall glasses and those with longstems against the shelf – not against otheritems to be washed.

Long items, serving cutlery, salad serversor knives should be placed on the shelf sothat they do not obstruct the rotation of thespray arms. The shelf can be folded backwhen not required for use.

Small accessories holder** some modelsLight-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups,lids, etc. can be held securely in the smallaccessories holder.
