4.1 Water softener

NOTICE! Use a water softener (= dishwasher salt) which is suitable for dishwashers only. Other water softeners and salts, especially table salt, will damage the water softener container.

NOTICE! Dishwasher salt causes corrosion unless you activate a washing programme immediately after the filling of the dedicated container. Corrosion can damage the appliance beyond repair! The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by corrosion due to improper operation. RISK OF CORROSION!

NOTICE! Whenever you fill salt into the dedicated container, water will escape which contains dissolved salt. This water as well as not dissolved salt particles will cause corrosion. When refilling salt, you always must initiate a complete washing programme immediately after. RISK OF CORROSION! Any damage caused by corrosion is not covered by the guarantee.

You must fill in the water-softener manually; please use the water-softener filler hole. Open the lid and pour approx. 2kg of water-softener into the container; then close the lid properly.

4.1.1 Filling of the water softener container

THE WATER SOFTENER CONTAINER IS BENEATH THE LOWER DISH RACK. FILL THE CONTAINER AS FOLLOWS.

• Only use a water softener (= dishwasher salt) which is suitable for dishwashers. Other water softeners and salts, especially table salt, will damage the water softener container.
  The manufacturer shall not guarantee against and is not liable for any damage caused by an unsuitable water softener.
  Fill the container only shortly before you start a programme, otherwise spilled residuals of the water softener may remain in the appliance and cause corrosion.
  The control light on the control panel goes off after the first programme.

1. Remove the lower dish-rack and the lid of the water softener container.
2. When you fill the container for the first time, pour approx. 500ml water into the container.
3. Put the equipped funnel in the opening and pour approx. 2kg water softener (=dishwasher salt) in the container.
4. Close the lid carefully.
5. The control light for the hardness of water usually goes off after 2-6 days.

4.2 Filling of the rinse aid container

• When the rinse aid indicator is not on, the colour of the display device "D" indicates the needed quantity of rinse aid.

Dark spot = container filled to capacity.
The smaller the spot the emptier the container. The container should be filled not less than 25% .

The rinse aid container is inside the appliance near the dishwasher detergent container.
Max. capacity of the container: approx. 140ml
Do not overfill the container; otherwise, severe foam formation may occur.
Do not forget to close the lid after refilling.

1: ROTARY KNOB

SETTING OF THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Start with position 4.
Select position 5 when stains have occurred or the drying is not satisfying.
Select position 6 if these problems occur again.
The factory adjustment is position 5.

1. If water drops or scale marks are on your dishes after washing, increase the amount of rinse aid.
2. If whitish stripes are on glasses or bluish film is on the cutlery after washing, decrease the amount of rinse aid.

4.3 Dishwasher detergent

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS ARE DIVIDED INTO 2 GROUPS DUE TO THEIR CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:

conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

"Normal" programmes combined with concentrated detergents prevent pollution and are also good for your dishes. Such programmes support the washing effect of the enzymes. Therefore, "normal" programmes combined with concentrated detergents are as effective as "intensive" programmes.

THERE ARE 3 KINDS OF DISHWASHER DETERGENTS:

1. with phosphate and chlorine.
2. with phosphate / without chlorine
3. without phosphate / without chlorine

Most recent powdered dishwasher detergents usually do not contain any phosphate, so they do not soften the water. In such a case add a water softener (= dishwasher salt) even if the hardness of water is e.g., 6 dH. Otherwise, white spots may occur on your dishes and glasses.

Dishwasher detergents without chlorine only bleach slightly, so they do not remove tough stains. In such a case select a programme with a higher temperature.

DISHWASHER TABS

Dishwasher tabs of different manufacturers may need different periods of time for washing your dishes. So, some kinds of tabs cannot be used when operating a short programme. Always select long lasting programmes to clean your dishes completely.

THE DETERGENT CONTAINER

You must fill the container matching the information of the programme schedule.
Use detergents which are suitable for dishwashers only.
Always keep your detergent dry.
Fill the container just before starting a programme.
The detergent and rinse aid consumption of your appliance is lower than the consumption of conventional appliances. In general, you need 1 tablespoon of detergent for a normal programme.
You must increase the amount of detergent if your dishes are heavily soiled.

FILLING OF THE CONTAINER

1. When the lid is closed, press the open-button.
2. Fill the container just before starting a programme. Use detergents which are suitable for dishwashers only.

Pour the detergent in the container. The marks indicate the dose levels (look at figure below). If your dishes are heavily soiled, pour an additive dose of detergent in the pre-wash section.

1. Detergent main wash. MIN equal to approx. 20g
2. Detergent pre-wash; equal to approx. 5 g.

NOTE THE MANUFACTURER'S DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING OF YOUR DISHWASHER DETERGENT.

Close the lid and press until it locks.

5. Use of the dish racks

Observe the instructions given in this chapter to reach the best performance of your appliance. The features and design of the racks depend on model.

5.1 Before/after use

1. Remove residuals of food from the dishes.
2. You do not need to rinse the dishes under flowing water.
3. Fill the racks as follows:

a. Objects such as cups, glasses, pots and pans upside down.
b. Curved objects and objects with recesses in a slanted position, so the water can drain off.
c. Arrange the dishes safely and tightly in the rack so they cannot tip over.
d. The dishes must not block the rotating spray arms.
e. Do not put small objects in the appliance as they may easily drop out of the racks.

1. After washing, empty the lower rack first; so remaining water cannot drop from the upper rack into the lower one.

5.2 Upper dish rack

The upper dish rack is intended for delicate and light dishes such as glasses, cups, saucers, small platters and bowls and small, flat pans. When you have filled the rack, the dishes must not be moved by the sprayed water (spray arms).
