Before using for the first time
23
Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory. There will be residual water in
the appliance from this test. It is not
an indication that it has been used
previously.
Dishwasher salt
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in a build-up of calcium deposits
on crockery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l
(70 °d - German scale).
The water softener requires dishwasher
salt.
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale),
dishwasher salt is not required if
combination tablets are being used (see
"Operation - Detergent").
If the water hardness in your area is
constantly
lower than 0.9 mmol/l
(5 °d) , you do not need to add
dishwasher salt. The prompt to add
dishwasher salt will be switched off
automatically. The water softener
must, however, still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.

Dishwasher detergent will
damage the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.

Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation,
as other salts (e.g. cooking salt,
agricultural grade or gritting salt) may
contain insoluble additives which can
impair the functioning of the water
softener.
