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.Hold down the programme button Band switch on the main switch 1 ,then release the buttons.The display 4 flashes and buttons

A and B illuminate.(Hardness value 2 was set at thefactory).

To change the setting: Pressprogramme button B . Each depression of the buttonincreases the set value by one (0–3).If buttons A , B and C illuminate,the maximum hardness value has beenreached.If the hardness value is now increasedagain, the illuminated buttons go outand the hardness value is set to 0 (nobuttons illuminated).Switch off the mains switch 1 .The set value is stored in the appliance.

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 special saltcontainer

How the salt worksWhile washing is taking place, salt isautomatically rinsed out of the saltcontainer into the water softener where itdissolves the lime in the water.The dissolved lime is pumped out of thedishwasher. The water softening system isthen ready for the next load.This process of regeneration can onlyfunction when the salt is dissolved inwater.

Unscrew the lid on the salt container 24 .

Before you use the dishwasher for the firsttime, pour approx. 1 litre of water into thesalt container.Use the enclosed salt filler.Refill with salt (do not use edible salt)until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg).When the salt dispenser is being refilled,water is displaced and drains away.Therefore always refill the salt dispenserimmediately before switching on thedishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As aresult, the overflowing salt solution will beimmediately diluted and rinsed out. Thenremove salt residue from the filler area andscrew on the dispenser cover, ensuringthat it is not fitted askew.

The LOW SALT indicator 4 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguishagain after a short period when the saltsolution has become sufficientlyconcentrated.

If the switch is set to ”0”, it isnot necessary to add any salt,as none is consumed while thedishwasher is operating. If theswitch is set between ”1” and”3”, then salt must be added.

Do not pour detergent into thecontainer for special salt. Thiswould destroy the watersoftener.

Salt refill indicatorAs soon as the salt refill indicator 4 is liton the control panel, refill with saltimmediately before the next rinse cycle.

Filling the rinse-aidcontainer

The purpose of a rinse-aid is to preventthe formation of water marks on tablewareand utensils, and to ensure that glassesare clean and sparkling. The rinse-aid isconsumed during the washing process.

Fold back the lid on the rinse-aidcontainer 29 .

To open the lid, press the mark onthe rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift

the lid off the lug .

Pour the rinse-aid into the filler holeuntil the level indicator turns dark.Close the lid, ensuring that you hear itsnap closed.

Note

Use only rinse aid for domesticdishwashers. Spilt rinse aidmay result in excessive foamformation in the next rinsecycle. Therefore, remove anyspilt rinse aid with a cloth.

Adjusting the amount ofrinse-aidThe amount of rinse-aid added to thewater can be varied by adjusting thestepless control. The rinse-aid control hasbeen set to ”4” in the factory.

Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aidcontrol unless streaks (turn knob towards”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)are left on the dishes.

Unsuitable dishes

You should not clean thefollowing items in yourdishwasher:

Cutlery and dishes made of wood. Theywill leach out and become unsightly; theutilised adhesives are also not suitablefor the dishwasher temperatures.Delicate décor glasses, craft dishes andvases, special antique or irreplaceabledishes. These décor items are notdishwasher-safe.

Plastic parts, copper and tin dishessensitive to hot water are not suitableeither. Overglazed patterns, aluminiumand silver parts tend to becomediscoloured and fade during the rinsingcycle. Even some types of glass (e.g.crystal glass objects) may become cloudyafter many rinse cycles. Completelyabsorbent materials, such as sponges andcloths must not be cleaned in thedishwasher either.

Recommendation:In future buy only dishes which areidentified as dishwasher-safe.

Note

Dishes which are soiled withash, wax, lubricating grease orink must not be cleaned in thedishwasher.

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.

Arranging crockery, glasses,etc. in the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasherScrape off any large amounts of left-overfood. It is not necessary to rinse the dishesunder running water.Place objects in the dishwasher in such away that

items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans,etc. are stood upside down,curved items, or those with recesses,should be at a slant so that water canrun off,they are stacked securely and cannottip over,they do not prevent the spray arms fromrotating while washing takes place.

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

* on applicable models

Pots and pansLower basket 27

CutleryCutlery should always be inserted inrandom order with the handles pointingdownwards (take care with knife blades!).This enables the jet of water to reach theindividual items more easily.To prevent the risk of injury, place long andpointed implements and knives on theshelf (some models) or knife shelf(available as an accessory).

Folding spikes ** on applicable modelsTo improve stacking of pots and pans, thespikes can be folded down.

Detergents

Information about detergentsYou can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use indomestic dishwashers. (Do not use normalwashing-up liquid!)

Nowadays there are three types ofdishwasher detergent available:1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is usedin conjunction with hard water, there is agreater possibility that white marks will beleft behind on crockery and glasses, etc.These can be avoided by pouring anincreased amount of detergent into thedispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reducedbleaching effect. This can mean that teastains are not completely removed orplastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:– selecting a higher temperature programme, or– increasing the amount of detergent, or– using a detergent that contains chlorine.

Check the label on the detergentpackaging to determine whether aparticular product is suitable for use withsilverware.

If you have any further questions, werecommend that you contact the customeradvice departments of the variousdetergent manufacturers.

Detergent compartment withmeasuring marksThe side of the detergent compartment ismarked with lines to help you determinehow much powder to add.The capacity of the detergent container is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up tothe middle line. When the compartment isfull it contains 40 ml.

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.

CAUTIONIMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED CLEANINGPRODUCTSPlease note the following when using”combined cleaning products” whicheliminate the need for a rinsing agent orsalt, for example:

Some products with a built-in rinsingagent are only used to their full effect incertain programmes.

This type of product does not generallyproduce the desired effect withautomatic programmes.

Products which eliminate the need forregeneration salt can only be usedwithin a certain water hardness range.

If you wish to use these combinedproducts, please read the instructionscarefully and heed any notes on thepackaging.

Contact the manufacturer of the cleaningagent if you have any questions,particularly if:

the crockery is very wet once theprogramme has finished.limescale deposits are formed.

Any problems which arise as a directresult of the use of these products are notcovered by our warranty.

Maintenance and care

You can help prevent faults by checkingand maintaining your appliance regularly.This will save time and reduce problems.Therefore you should occasionallyexamine the inside of your dishwasher.

Overall condition of theapplianceCheck the rinsing compartment for greaseand limescale deposits.If you find any deposits:

Fill the detergent dispenser withdetergent. Start the empty appliancewith the programme which has thehighest rinsing temperature.

Clean the door seal:Wipe the door seal regularly witha damp cloth and remove any deposits.

Dishwasher saltCheck the LOW SALT indicator 4 or24 . Top up with salt, if required.

Rinse-aidCheck the LOW RINSE-AID indicator 5

on the front panel or the level indicator onthe rinse-aid container 29 . Top up withrinse-aid, if required.

FiltersThe filters 25 prevent larger remnants offood or other objects from getting insidethe pump. This residue can occasionallyclog up the filters.The filter system consists of a filtercylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending onthe model, a microfilter (*).

Inspect the filters for obstructions everytime the dishwasher has been used.By unscrewing the filter cylinder, youcan remove the filter system. Removeany food remnants and clean the filtersunder running water.
