If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher. The water softener, that is the required amount of salt, is set up according to how hard the tap water is. Setting up the water softener Determine the level of hardness of your tap water. Your local water company or service agent can help you with this. Identify setting from the following water hardness table. Hold down the programme button B and switch on the main switch 1 , then release the buttons. The display 5 flashes and buttons A and B illuminate. (Hardness value 2 was set at the factory). Water hardness table To change the setting: Press programme button B . Each depression of the button increases the set value by one (0–3). If buttons A , B and C illuminate, the maximum hardness value has been reached. If the hardness value is now increased again, the illuminated buttons go out and the hardness value is set to 0 (no buttons illuminated). Switch off the mains switch 1 . The set value is stored in the appliance. Approx. 4 litres of water are required for regenerating the water softening system. The overall water consumption per load can therefore be increased by between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the water hardness setting. dh fH Clarke mmol/ l A B Reset C 0–6 0–11 0–8 0–1,1 0 7–16 12–29 9–20 1,2–2,9 1 17–21 30–37 21–26 3,0–3,7 2 22–35 38–60 27–44 3,8–6,2 3 en Filling in the Salt Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 24 . Warning Before switching on the appliance for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt dispenser. 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 5 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated. If the switch is set to ”0”, it is not necessary to add any salt, as none is consumed while the dishwasher is operating. If the switch is set between ”1” and ”3”, then salt must be added. Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener. Salt refill indicator As soon as the salt refill indicator 5 is lit on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle. Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for several months. Refill with salt always just before switching on the appliance in order to prevent corrosion. As a result, any salt solution which has run over will be immediately diluted and flushed out. Then clean the filling area of salt residues and screw the compartment lid back on without tilting the lid. en Adding rinse aid The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Open the cover on the rinse-aid dispenser 29 . To do this, press the mark (1 ) on the cover and simultaneously lift the cover on the control plate (2 ). Adjusting the amount of rinse-aid The amount of rinse-aid added to the water can be varied by adjusting the stepless control. The rinse-aid control has been set to ”4” in the factory. Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid control unless streaks (turn knob towards ”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”) are left on the dishes. 29 Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth. Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just Rinse aid controller below the edge of the filler opening. Rinse-aid refill indicator As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator lights up on the control panel 6 , refill with rinse aid. en Not suitable for the dishwasher The following should not be cleaned in the dishwasher: Wooden cutlery and utensils – these will leach out and become unsightly; even the utilised stickers are not suitable for the temperatures which occur. Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft utensil and vases, special antique or irretrievable utensils. These ornaments are not dishwasher-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 sponges and cloths. Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles. Recommendation: In future buy utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof. Damage to glassware and other dishes Possible causes: type of glass or manufacturing process chemical composition of detergent water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme. Suggested remedy: Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have bee...
