Installation, connection and starting-up
Setting the hardness level
1. Close the dishwasher door.
2. Switch the device on with the On/Off
button (2) and start setting the hardness
level within one minute of switching on.
3. Press and hold the programme selection
button (4) until the display
(9) flashes.
4. Press the programme selection but-
ton (4) as many times as necessary to
display the required hardness level.
The relevant “hardness level” is displayed via
the programme displays (3):
Water
hardness
°dH
illuminated programme
display readings (3)
soft
up to 8.4
“Short”
“90 min.”
medium 8.5 to 14
“90 min.” and “short”
“Glass”

more than
14
“Glass” and “Short”
“Glass” and “90 min.”
5. Around 5 seconds after the last button
push, the dishwasher will automatically
revert to the normal display.
The hardness level setting is saved.
Automatic regeneration
In order to make sure that the water soften-
ing system works, the water softening sys-
tem is automatically regenerated at regular
intervals.
The regeneration process of your appliance
begins with the drying cycle. The water and
energy consumption then increases and
the duration of the programme is extended.
There is no regeneration process in the short
programme.
The frequency of the regeneration process
depends on the selected water hardness:

Example ECO programme: with a water
hardness level of H3 and under laboratory
conditions, the duration of the programme in-
creases by 4 minutes. The energy consump-
tion increases by 0.02 kWh and the water
consumption by 2.0 litres.
Test run
It is recommended that you carry out a test
run before the first dishwasher cycle in order
to remove residues from the manufacturing
process and in order to ensure that the device
functions perfectly.
Carry out this test run when the dishwasher
is empty and without any dishwasher deter-
gent. See chapter„Dishwasher operation“
from page EN-22 for the procedure.
If no water escapes during the test run and if
there are no unusual noises, the appliance is
ready to use.
