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.

Water hardness table

Press and hold the B programmebutton, and set the main switch 1 toON, before releasing the programmebutton again.The indicator lamp for the B buttonflashes, as does the figure in the numerical display. The latterrepresents the value that was pre-set inthe factory.

To change the setting:Press the B programme button 9 .

Every time the button is pressed, thefigure increases by one. After reaching

, the display starts at again.Set the main switch 1 to OFF. Thenew setting is stored in the appliance’smemory.

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 24 .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 6 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguishagain after a short period when the saltsolution has become sufficientlyconcentrated.When the control is set to , it is notnecessary to fill up with salt as none willbe consumed while the dishwasher isoperating. The LOW SALT indicator isswitched off. If the control is set between

and , then salt must be added to thedispenser.

en

8

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

Salt refill indicatorAs soon as the salt refill indicator 6 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.

en

Rinse aid controller

Rinse-aid refill indicatorAs soon as the rinse-aid refill indicatorlights up on the control panel 7 ,refill with rinse aid.If using detergent products with integratedrinse aid, the rinse-aid refill indicatorcan be switched off (see “Switchingthe rinse-aid refill indicator off and on”in the “auto 3in1” chapter).

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.

en

Loading the dishwasherRemove large food remnants.It 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

13

Reduce costs!If your dishes are only moderately dirty,you may be able to use less detergentthan 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.

auto 3in1

The use of so-called combined detergentproducts may make the use of rinse aidand/or salt unnecessary.There are currently several types ofcombined detergent products available.

2in1: They contain detergent and rinseaid or salt function.3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aidand salt function.4in1: They contain a detergent,rinse-aid, salt function and an additionalglass protection component.

In addition, other combined products witha comparable effect are offered accordingto the manufacturer.>>> Always check the type of detergent

or combined product which youare using!

Always follow the operating instructionsor the information on the packaging.

The rinse programme is automaticallyadjusted in order to obtain the bestpossible rinsing and drying result.Observe the following importantinformation if using combined cleaningproducts:

Regeneration salt is not required up toa water hardness of 21� dH (37� fH,26� Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No othersettings on the appliance are required.Salt is still required if the waterhardness is above 21� dH (37� fH,26�Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the saltdispenser with salt 24 and selectsetting 6 on the water softening system.

If in doubt, please contact the detergentmanufacturer, especially if:

the utensils are very wet at the endof the programme.limescale forms.

en

14

NoteOptimum rinsing and drying results can beobtained by using standard detergents inconjunction with separate application ofsalt and rinse aid.

Observance of the operating instructionsor information on the packaging of thecombined detergents determines theireffectiveness.

Note

Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refillindicator is lit, the rinse programme runscorrectly when 3in1 products are used.

If the rinse aid refill indicator 7 or saltrefill 6 indicator is defective and youwould like to switch it off, proceed asfollows:

Switching the rinse aid refillindicator off and onYou can switch the rinse aid refill indicator

7 on or off. This function can bechanged as follows.

on the rinse aid indicator.

Switch off the main switch 1 ;the setting is saved.

Switching the salt refillindicator / water softeningsystem off and on

Close the door.Hold down the programme button Band switch on the main switch 1 ,then release the buttons.The illuminated button B and thefactory-set value on the digitaldisplay flash.

To change the setting: press theprogramme button B .

Each time the button is pressed, the setvalue increases by one; when the value

is reached, the display jumps backto (the salt refill indicator / watersoftening system has been switchedoff).Switch off the main switch 1 .The set value is stored within thedevice.

Approx. 4 litres of water are required toregenerate the water softening system.As a result, the water consumption perrinse cycle increases by 0 to maximum4 litres depending on the water hardnesssetting.

NoteIf you use the detergent and rinse aidseparately or switch from combineddetergents to standard cleaning products,ensure that the rinse aid refill indicator hasbeen switched on and the water softeningsystem has been set to the correct waterhardness.

Programme selectionThe most appropriate programme can beidentified by comparing the type ofcrockery, cutlery, etc., as well as theamount and condition of food remains,with the details contained in theprogramme overview.

You will find the appropriate programmeinformation in the introduction.

Washing dishes

Reduce costs!If only a small number of dishes havebeen loaded into the dishwasher, selectinga programme that operates at the nextlowest temperature will usually suffice.

Programme dataThe programme specifications can befound in the summary of instructions.Programme specifications refer to normalconditions. Greater deviations may occurdue to:

different amounts of dishestemperature of mains water supplypressure of mains water supplyambient temperaturefluctuations in mains voltagemachine-related factors (e.g.temperature, water volume, ...).

Energy and water consumption is reducedby up to 1/4 when dishes are washed inthe upper basket only.Water consumption values are based on awater hardness setting of 4.

Aqua sensor ** some modelsThe Aquasensor is an optical measuringdevice (light barrier) which measuresthe turbidity of the rinsing water.

The Aqua sensor is used accordingto the programme. When the Aqua sensoris active, “clean” rinsing water may betransferred into the next rinsing bathand/or the temperature adjusted. If theturbidity is greater, the water is drainedand is replaced with fresh water. In thisway water consumption can be reducedby approx. 4 litres.

Switching the dishwasher ONSet main switch 1 to ON.Indicators light up according to the lastprogramme that was selected.This same programme will run again ifno other programme button 9 ispressed.The programme starts automatically.

Remaining running time displayWhen the appliance has started, theexpected programme running time isdisplayed. The programmed running timeis affected by the water temperature, thenumber of dishes, as well as the degreeof soiling. If these conditions are changed,the running time (depending on theselected programme) can vary greatly.As the effect is not detected until aprogramme is running, the time maybe longer or shorter than expected.

Time delay ** on applicable modelsYou can delay the start of the programmein 1-hour steps up to 19 hours.

Switch on the appliance.Press the timer programming button

Additional functions

* on some models additional functions5 can be set with the buttons.

Eco option *Water and energy consumption can bereduced with the “Eco option” function.The running time is extended for optimumwashing and drying results.

Half load*If you have only a few items to wash (e.g.glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to“Half load”. The “half load” additionalfunction saves water, energy and time. It isrecommended to put a little less detergentin the detergent dispenser than for a fullload.

Maintenance and care

A regular inspection and maintenance ofyour machine will help to prevent faults.This saves time and prevents problems.

Overall condition of themachine

Check washing chamber for greaseand limescale deposits.

If you find such deposits:Fill the detergent dispenser withdetergent, start the appliance withoututensils in the programme which hasthe highest wash temperature.

Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularlysuitable for use with dishwashers.

Regularly wipe the door seal with adamp cloth.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean yourdishwasher. The manufacturer is not liablefor any consequential damage.Regularly wipe the front of the applianceand panel with a damp cloth; water anda little washing-up liquid will suffice.Do not use sponges with a rough surfaceor abrasive detergents, as these couldscratch the surfaces.

Attention!Never use other chlorinated householddetergents! Health hazard!

Salt and rinse aidCheck the refill indicators 6 7 .If required, top up the salt and/or rinseaid.
