Environmental information

are varied during the wash cycle to achieve better cleaning of the

dishes. It is for this reason that the noise level varies during the

dishwashing cycle.

content. The water softener must be set according to the table to

the water hardness in the area where you live. Your local water

company will be able to give you information about the water

hardness in your area.

The dishwasher must be switched off. The water softener must be

set manually and electronically:

Operating instructions

Adding special salt

Only use special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.

If you don’t use 3 in 1 detergent add special salt:

-Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

-When the indicator for special salt is illuminated on the control panel.

1. Open the door and remove the lower

basket.

2. Screw open the lid on the salt

dispenser by turning it anti-

clockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher

for the first time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the

dispenser opening.

Fill the dispenser with special salt;

the capacity of the dispenser is

approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do not

overfill the dispenser.

If water overflows when filling up with special salt, this is completely

harmless.

5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.

6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with

special salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that

have been spilt.

Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours

for the salt to dissolve in the water and for the SALT indicator to go

out.

Adding rinse aid

With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get

smear-free, gleaming dishes and clear glasses.

Only use special rinse aid for dishwashers and no other liquid

detergents.

If you don’t use 3 in 1 detergent add rinse aid:

-Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

-When the indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel.

1. Open the door. The rinse aid

compartment is located on the

inside of the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse

aid compartment.

3. Open the cover.

4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up

to the broken “max” line;

this corresponds to a volume of

approx. 140 ml when full.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks

into place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a

cloth. Otherwise too much foam

will be formed when rinsing.
