2.Fill with Salt for the Water Softener

3.Fill with Rinse Aid

9

Operating Instructions

Adjust the Water Softener

To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap water from a hardness of 4 ??d (German degrees) is softened with the aid of special salt.

1)(??d) German degree, measure of water hardness 2)(ppm) Parts Per Million (CaCO3)

*factory setting

0Adjust the water softener in accord- ance with the table to suit your area:

1.Open the door on the dishwasher.

2. Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher.

3. Adjust the water hardness switch with, e.g. a coin.

4. Replace the lower rack and close the door of the dishwasher.

10

Operating Instructions

Filling with Salt for the Water Softener

1 Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter- gent, as this would irreparably damage the water softener.

Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand.

Fill with dishwasher salt:

???Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time

???If a green mark can be seen under the lid of the salt container, then there is sufficient salt. If the green mark cannot be seen, you must refill the container with salt.

3.When using for the first time: fill the salt container with water.

4.Place the funnel supplied on the con-

tainer opening.

Fill the container with salt through

the funnel; the capacity of the con- tainer is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depend- ing on the grain size. Do not overfill

the salt container with salt.

3 The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment. This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the start of the next wash programme.

5.Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.

6.Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise dishwasher salt will leak into the wash water. Dull glasses may result.

again. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.

17

Operating Instructions

Filling with Detergent

1 Use only dishwasher detergent.

Fill with Detergent:

???Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the Pre Wash pro- gramme). The detergent is released into the wash water during the programme.

18

Operating Instructions

Bio Wash Programmes and Concentrated Detergents

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types:

???Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components

???Weak alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

2 The use of BIO wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; the BIO wash programmes are specially matched to the soil dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. It is for this reason that BIO wash programmes can achieve the same results at 50 ??C that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 ??C programmes.

3 Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.

Detergent Recommendations

For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergent, rinse aid and salt.

2.Open the door carefully.

Emptying the Dishwasher

3 ??? Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing them from the appliance.

??? The dishes will dry quicker if, when the programme has finished, you briefly open the door fully and then leave it slightly ajar.

??? Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 minutes after the end of the programme so that they dry better and can cool down.

??? Empty the lower rack first, then the upper rack. In this way you will avoid any water left on the upper rack dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and causing water spots.

Care and Cleaning

1 Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or aggres- sive cleaners.

??? If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm water.

??? The spray arms do not need cleaning.

??? Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal, and water inlet for soiling, clean if necessary.
