Check that the mounts are in the correct position. Set the slider to ON. Clean under running water. The Extra Clean Zone audibly clicks into position. Set the baskets at the right height. The appliance has been installed and connected. Add special salt. Add rinse aid.
• Page 25: Water softening system To remove any marks from water or other residues, operate the appliance without tableware before using it for the first time. Hard water leaves limescale on the tableware, and parts of the appliance may become blocked. To ensure good dishwashing results, treat the water with special salt and the water softening system. Water with a hardness above 9 °E must be softened to avoid damage to the appliance. You can find an overview of the water hardness values that can be selected. You can find out how hard your water is from your local water company or by using a water hardness tester. Set the water hardness determined on your appliance. With a water hardness of 0 - 8 °E, you can dispense with special salt for dishwashers and switch off the water softening system. Determine the water hardness and the appropriate setting value.
• Page 26: Water softening system Only use special salt for dishwashers. Do not use salt tablets or table salt. The value H:04 is set at the factory. Add the special salt to the dispenser. You can use special salt to soften water. The consumption of special salt depends on the water hardness. Detergent may damage the water softening system. Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system with special dishwasher salt. To avoid damage to the appliance, only switch off the water softening system in specific cases. Combined detergents with salt replacement substances can generally only be used up to a water hardness of 26 °E without adding special salt.
• Page 27: Rinse aid system The water hardness is 0 - 8 °E. You do not need to use special salt. For optimum drying results, use rinse aid. Only use rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. If the rinse aid refill indicator lights up, top up with rinse aid. The appliance performs regeneration of the water softening system at regular intervals. Regeneration takes place before the end of the main rinse cycle in all programmes. It will increase the run time and consumption values, e.g. water and electricity. Here you can find an overview of the maximum additional run time and consumption values during regeneration.
• Page 28: Detergent Add rinse aid up to the max mark. To save the settings, press for 3 seconds. If you find the rinse aid refill indicator irritating, you can switch the rinse aid system off. The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using rinse aid. If rinse aid spills out, remove it from the tub. Spilled rinse aid can cause excessive frothing during the wash cycle. Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding special salt and rinse aid separately. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. A low setting adds less rinse aid during the wash cycle and reduces streaking on tableware. A higher setting adds more rinse aid during the wash cycle, reduces water marks, and improves the drying result.
• Page 29: Detergent is used to starch and remove protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are used to remove colored marks. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent. Separate detergents do not contain components other than detergent. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. For better washing and drying results, use special salt and rinse aid. Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. Combined detergents contain detergent, rinse aid, and salt replacement substances. Powder detergent is recommended for shorter programmes and the dosage can be adjusted. Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter programmes without PreRinse.
• Page 30: Detergent function is enhanced with rinse aid for better results. Use tablets with special drying performance. Avoid detergents that could damage the appliance or pose health risks. Hand washing-up liquid can cause excessive frothing and damage. Open the detergent dispenser by pressing the locking latch. Detergents marked as organic or ecological may have reduced cleaning effectiveness. Adjust the rinse aid and water softening system according to the detergent used. Combined detergents with salt replacement are limited by water hardness. For normal soiling, 20 ml to 25 ml of detergent is sufficient. Handle detergents in water-soluble pouches with dry hands to prevent sticking.
• Page 31: Tableware Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if it is marked as dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. Avoid damage to glass and tableware. The following tableware is not dishwasher-safe: items of cutlery and tableware made from wood, decorated glassware, antique and hand-crafted tableware, plastic parts not resistant to heat, tableware made from copper or tin, tableware soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint, and very small items of tableware. Use a detergent marked by the manufacturer as gentle on tableware. Only clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers. Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles. If you are using highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents, do not put aluminium parts in the dishwasher interior.
• Page 32: Tableware To save resources, do not pre-rinse tableware under running water. Select a programme with lower temperature. Observe the following when arranging tableware. After the programme has ended, take glassware and cutlery out of the appliance without delay. Put heavily soiled tableware in the bottom basket, e.g., pans. Arrange cutlery with the points and sharp edges facing down. Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. Do not block the spray arms - make sure that they can turn freely. Using the appliance allows you to save energy and water compared to washing-up by hand. Remove large remnants of food from tableware.
