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 in the Salt

Open the screw-type cap of thecompartment 24 .

Warning

Before switching on the appliance forthe first time, pour approx. 1 litre of waterinto the salt dispenser.

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.

Refill with salt always just before switchingon the appliance in order to preventcorrosion. As a result, any salt solutionwhich has run over will be immediatelydiluted and flushed out.

Then clean the filling area of saltresidues and screw the compartmentlid back on without tilting the lid.

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 switch is set to ”0”, it isnot necessary to add any salt,as none is consumed while thedishwasher is operating. If theswitch is set between ”1” and”3”, then salt must be added.

Do not pour detergent into thecontainer for special salt. Thiswould destroy the watersoftener.

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 29 . 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.

Not suitable forthe dishwasher

The following should not becleaned in the dishwasher:

Wooden cutlery and utensils – thesewill leach out and become unsightly;even the utilised stickers are notsuitable for the temperatures whichoccur.Sensitive ornamental glasses, craftutensil and vases, special antiqueor irretrievable utensils. Theseornaments are not dishwasher-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 havea tendency to discolour and fade duringthe wash 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.

Washing contents of UPPERRACK only* not on all modelsIf you only have a small number of dishesto wash, put them all into the upper rackand press the UPPER RACK button. Thissaves energy and water. If you select theUPPER RACK function, the lower rackmust be empty. Add a reduced amount ofdetergent compared to that which isrecommended for a full load.

Arranging crockery, glasses,etc. in the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasherScrape off any large amounts ofleft-over food. It is not necessary torinse the dishes under running water.Place objects in the dishwasher in sucha way that� items such as cups, glasses,

pots/pans, etc. are stood upsidedown,

� curved items, or those withrecesses, should be at a slant sothat water can run off,

� they are stacked securely andcannot tip over,

� they do not prevent the spray armsfrom rotating while washing takesplace.

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

To ensure that the spray jet can reach allparts, arrange the baking sheets asillustrated(max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles).

Note

Never operate the dishwasher without thetop basket or baking sheet spray head!

Detergents

Information about detergentsYou can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use indomestic dishwashers. (Do not use normalwashing-up liquid!)

Nowadays there are three types ofdishwasher detergent available:1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is usedin conjunction with hard water, there is agreater possibility that white marks will beleft behind on crockery and glasses, etc.These can be avoided by pouring anincreased amount of detergent into thedispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reducedbleaching effect. This can mean that teastains are not completely removed orplastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:� selecting a higher temperature

programme, or� increasing the amount of detergent,

or� using a detergent that contains

chlorine.Check the label on the detergentpackaging to determine whether aparticular product is suitable for use withsilverware.

If you have any further questions, werecommend that you contact the customeradvice departments of the variousdetergent manufacturers.

en

15

Detergent compartment withmeasuring marksThe side of the detergent compartment ismarked with lines to help you determinehow much powder to add.The capacity of the detergent container is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up tothe middle line. When the compartment isfull it contains 40 ml.

If the detergent dispenser 30 is stillclosed, press the lock 28 to open thedetergent dispenser.

Adding detergentFill the dispenser 30 with detergent.Please observe the manufacturer’sinstructions printed on the detergentpackaging when determining thecorrect dosage.

ImportantDue to the different solvency properties ofthe detergent tablets supplied by variousmanufacturers, the cleaning efficiency ofthe detergent may not be fully utilised byshort programmes. It is recommended touse washing powder for theseprogrammes.

When you select the INTENSIVEprogramme, tip an extra 10–15 ml ofdetergent onto the inside surface of thedoor.

Reduce costs!

If you are using the upper rackonly, or if your dishes are onlymoderately dirty, it will normallysuffice to employ a reducedamount of detergent thanotherwise recommended.

Close the lid on the detergentcompartment.Press down the lid (1) until it clicksshut (2).

If you are using detergent in tablet form,read the manufacturer’srecommendations on the packaging inorder to determine where the tablets should beplaced inside the dishwasher (e.g. incutlery basket, detergent compartment,etc.).Make sure that the lid on the detergentcompartment is closed, even if you areusing tablets.
