door opens automatically when the programme ends. You can switch

Eco driving on or off → "Operating the

appliance" on page 29.

Water softening system/special salt

Water softening

system / special salt

To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system

of the dishwasher. The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see following water hardness table).

Water hardness table

Water hardness value Cancer	Hardness range	mmol/l	Set value on the machine
0-8	soil	0-1.1	H:00
9-10	soft	1.2-1.4	H:01
11-12	medium	1.5-1.8	H:02
13-15	medium	1.9-2.1	H:03
16-20	medium	2.2-2.9	H:04
21-26	hard	3.0-3.7	H:05
27-38	hard	3.8-5.4	H:06
39-62	hard	5.5-8.9	H:07

Water softening system/special salt

Adjusting the water softening system

You can set the amount of salt that should be added to a value between H:00 and H:07. No salt is needed with the setting H:00.

Here's how to set up the amount of added salt:

1. Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of the tap water.

2. Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.

3. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.

4. Hold down the programme button □ and then repeatedly press the START button □ until H:0... appears in the display window.

5. Release both buttons. The LED of the A button flashes and the digital display 9 shows the factory setting H:04.

6. Press the programme button ☐. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when it reaches the value K:07 the display jumps back to K:08 (Off).

7. Press START button [8]. The chosen selling has now been stored in your dishwasher.

Using special salt

Top up the special salt as soon as the salt refill indicator 4 lights up in the control panel. Always top up the special salt immediately before switching on the dishwasher. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately rinsed out and that corrosion in the washing tank cannot occur.

Caution!

Detergent will destroy the water softening unit! Never pour detergent into the dispenser for special salt.

Top up the special salt as follows:

1. Undo the screw plug on the dispenser [26].

2. Fill the dispenser with water (required only when switching on the appliance for the first time).

3. Add special salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out.

*Depending on the features of your dishwasher

Using detergent with a salt component

In general, you can use detergent with a salt component up to a water hardness level of 21 °dH (37 °fH, 26 °Clark, 3.7 mmol/L) without adding special salt. Above a water hardness value of 21 °dH, use additional special salt.

Switching off salt refill indicator/water softening unit

If the salt refill indicator 4 bothers you (e.g. if you are using a combination detergent with a salt component), you can switch off the salt refill indicator. Proceed as described under "Setting water softening unit" and set the value to H:00. The water softening unit and the salt refill indicator are switched off.

Rinse aid

The rinse aid ensures stain-free dishes and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. As soon as the rinse aid refill indicator [5] lights up in the control panel, there is still a rinse aid reserve of 1-2 rinse cycles. Top up the rinse aid.

Top up the rinse aid as follows:

1. Open dispenser [30]; press lug on the lid (1) and lift (2).

1. Add rinse aid up to the max. mark.
   

1. Close the lid.
   The lid "clicks" into position.
2. Remove overflowed rinse aid with a cloth.
   This prevents excessive frothing during the next rinse cycle.

en Rinse aid

Setting amount of rinse aid

You can set the amount of rinse aid that should be added to a value between §:« and §:‡. Setting the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed to §:«... will give you a very good drying result. The factory setting is §:«... Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless there are streaks or water stains on the utensils. Set a lower level to avoid streaks. Set a higher level to avoid water stains,

Here's how to set the amount of rinse

aid:

1. Switch on ON/OFF switch (

2. Hold down the programme button # and then repeatedly press the START button ` until •:c... appears in the display window.

3. Release both buttons. The LED of the # button flashes and the digital display h shows the factory setting •:<....

4. Press the programme button # repeatedly until the factory setting value §:... appears in the display window h.

5. Press the programme button 3. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when it reaches the value §:4 the display jumps back to §:« (Off).

6. Press START button

7. Press START button

The set value is saved.

Using detergent with a rinse aid component

In general, you can use detergent with a rinse aid component up to a water hardness level of 21 °dH (37 °fH, 26 °Clark, 3.7 mmol/L) without adding rinse aid. Above a water hardness value of 21 °dH, use additional rinse aid.

Switching off rinse aid refill indicator

If the rinse aid refill indicator H bothers you (e.g. if you are using a combination detergent with a rinse aid component), you can switch off the rinse aid refill indicator.

Proceed as described under "Setting rinse aid quantity" and set the level to §:«. The rinse aid refill indicator II is switched off.
