Safety instructionsWater hardness In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Checking water hardness Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l). A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable for soft water. Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area. Make a note of the water hardness:____________ Recommended settingmmol/l°eH°fH°dH 00.0-0.90-60-90-5 11.0-1.47-1010-146-8 21.5-2.011-1415-209-11 32.1-2.515-1821-2512-14 42.6-3.419-2426-3415-19 53.5-4.325-3035-4320-24 64.4-5.231-3644-5225-29 75.3-7.037-4953-7030-39 87.1-8.850-6171-8840-49

If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH / 62°eH / 8.9 mmol/l), we recommend connecting an external water softener. Increased consumption during regeneration The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often the dishwasher's water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting. Example: If the Eco program is run with a water hardness of 14°dH (25°fH / 18°eH / 2.5 mmol/l), the water softener is regenerated at regular intervals (after 7 dishwashing cycles), energy consumption increases by 0.015 kWh, and water consumption increases by 2.3 litres, while the program time is extended by 3 minutes. Regeneration takes place during the program’s main wash.

Before washing for the first timeWARNING! Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness. Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l). Basic settings Open the door. Press . "This is a first time setup." is shown on the display. It is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. Select setting with or .

The rinse aid dispenser can be adjusted between 0 (Off) and 5 (High dosage). Adjusting the water softener. Select a setting depending on the hardness of the water supply. It is important that this setting is correct! Water hardness 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 Pre-selected at factory: 4

For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH (9 °fH / 6 °eH / 0.9 mmol/l), fill with salt. For a water supply with a hardness below 6°dH (10°fH / 7°eH / 1.0 mmol/l), select 0. The water softener is deactivated and no salt needs to be added. Activate the setting when using all-in-one detergent containing rinse aid. (Also applies to dishwasher detergent gel for automatic dosing that contains rinse aid.) TAB On/Off (All-in-one detergent) Pre-selected at factory: Off

This setting reduces the rinse aid dosage and affects how often the dishwasher's built-in softener is regenerated. Activate this setting if you want to use automatic dosing of detergent. Auto dose Off, 15-40 ml Pre-selected at factory: Off

The exact dosage depends on which program is running. For the Auto program, the dosage also depends on how dirty the dishes are. To change the selected setting, see the chapter Settings.
