The display shows Hxx. To save the settings, press for 3 seconds. The water softening system is switched off and the salt refill indicator is deactivated. Regeneration of the water softening system takes place before the end of the main rinse cycle in all programmes. It will increase the run time and consumption values. If you find the special salt refill indicator irritating, you can switch the indicator off. 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 24: Rinse aid system Add rinse aid up to the max mark. The consumption values specified are laboratory measurements determined in accordance with the currently applicable standard using the Eco 50° programme. If rinse aid spills out, remove it from the tub. Spilled rinse aid can cause excessive frothing during the wash cycle. For optimum drying results, use rinse aid. Close the lid of the dispenser for rinse aid. The lid clicks into position. If the rinse aid refill indicator lights up, top up with rinse aid. If there are streaks or water marks on tableware, change the amount of rinse aid. A low setting adds less rinse aid during the wash cycle and reduces streaking on tableware.
• Page 25: Detergent To save the settings, press for 3 seconds. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent. Suitable detergents are available online or from Customer Service. 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. Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. Powder detergent is recommended for shorter programmes. Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter programmes without PreRinse. Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers.
• Page 26: Detergent dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. For better washing and drying results, use special salt and rinse aid. Detergents marked as organic or ecological may have a restricted cleaning effect. Combined detergents contain additional functions like rinse aid and salt replacement substances. Combined detergents generally function only up to a water hardness of 26 °E. For the best results, use special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17 °E. Set the rinse aid and water softening system according to the detergent in use. Only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands. Washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents even if refill indicators light up. The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents; better results are achieved with a separate rinse aid.
• Page 27: Tableware Damage to glass and 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. Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents, particularly commercial or industrial cleaners, are not safe to use in the dishwasher.
