Water Softener
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the
dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salts specifically designed to eliminate
lime and minerals from the water. The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should
be filled as follows:
Attention!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of
damages caused using unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable
for any caused damages. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programs. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining
on the bottom of the machine for any period, which may cause corrosion. After the first wash cycle
the control panel light expires.
A. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
B. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 500ml).
Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, spot and streak
free drying.
Attention!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other
substances (e.g., dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by
the color of the optical level indicator "D" located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is
full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases.
You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot. on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as
illustrated below.
