Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and labeled for recycling.
When the machine has reached the end of its service life
and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made
unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as
possible.
Contact your municipality for information about where and
how your dishwasher can be recycled correctly.
Before washing for the first time
Checking water hardness
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwash-
er needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard
water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Water hardness is specified using the German water hard-
ness scale (°dH) or the French water hardness scale (°fH).
A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 6°dH
(9°fH) must be softened. This is done automatically with the
aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water soft-
ener to function optimally, it must be adjusted to the hard-
ness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water
softener, use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft
water.
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness
in your area.
Make a note of the water hardness:____________
If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH), we recom-
mend connecting an external water softener.
WARNING!
Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside
the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select
the right setting for the water softener! See Water hard-
ness.
Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment
if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 6°dH
(9°fH).
Set the Water hardness
Chapter Settings describes how to adjust the water softener.
Top up with salt
Salt compartment lid
1. Unscrew the salt compartment lid.
2. Insert the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 0.3 gal (1
l) of water.
3. Then add salt, a maximum of 2 lb (1.0 kg), until the
compartment is full. Use large grain salt or special
dishwasher salt.
4. Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed
on firmly.
