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 behind

on 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 how

hard the tap water is.Setting up the water softener

Determine 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 B

and 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: Press

programme button B .

Each depression of the buttonincreases the set value by one (03).

If buttons A , B and C illuminate,

the maximum hardness value has been

reached.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 works

While 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.

*on applicable models

The LOW SALT indicator 4 on the frontpanel 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 and3, then salt must be added.

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

softener.

LOW SALT indicator

Salt should be added as soon as the LOWSALT indicator 4 in the fascia panel

illuminates. For models that do not havean indicator in the fascia panel, salt shouldbe added as soon as the coloured dot inthe lid on the salt container 24 is no

longer visible.

Filling the rinse-aidcontainer

The purpose of a rinse-aid is to preventthe formation of water marks on tablewareand utensils, and to ensure that glasses

are 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 rinse

cycle. Therefore, remove anyspilt rinse aid with a cloth.

Adjusting the amount ofrinse-aid

The 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 dcor glasses, craft dishes andvases, special antique or irreplaceabledishes. These dcor items are notdishwasher-safe.

Plastic parts, copper and tin dishes

sensitive 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 otherdishes

Possible causes:

type of glass or manufacturing process

chemical composition of detergent

water temperature and duration ofdishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

Use glassware or porcelain dishes thathave been marked dishwasherproofby the manufacturer.

Use a mild detergent that is describedas kind to dishes. If necessary, seekfurther information from detergent

manufacturers.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 dishwasher

Scrape 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 cannot

tip 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 dishes

To 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 glasses

Upper basket 20

*on applicable models

Pots and pans

Before you re-insert the basket, ensurethat it is at the same height on bothsides. Otherwise, the appliance doorcannot be closed and the upper sprayarm will not connect to the water circuit.

Detergents

Information about detergents

You can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use in

domestic 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.
