The water is softened with salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.4The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).4Setting4The amount of salt dispensed can be set from ‹ to ˆ.4Salt is not required at the set value ‹.4Water hardness table4Special salt $5Using special salt5Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.5The salt refill indicator X on the fascia is lit. It goes out as soon as a sufficiently high salt solution has formed.5If the set value ‹ is displayed, do not add any salt because salt will not be used during operation of the appliance, the salt display is switched off. If the set values ‚ to ˆ are displayed, salt must be added.5Using detergents with salt component5If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.5Salt refill indicator5As soon as the salt refill indicator X on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.5Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for several months.5If the salt refill indicator X is impaired (e. g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.5Rinse aid %6As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator ` is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1–2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.6The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.6Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.6Setting amount of rinse aid6The rinse aid dispensing rate can be adjusted steplessly. The clear rinse controller was set to 4 at the factory.6Do not change the position of the rinse aid control unless there are streaks (rotate towards –) or water stains (rotate towards +) on the utensils.6Switching the rinse aid refill indicator off or on6If the rinse-aid refill indicator ` is impaired (e. g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.6Utensils7Not suitable7Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.7Glass and utensil damage7Causes:7Recommendation:7Loading the dishwasher7Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.7Unloading the dishwasher7To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.7Hot utensils are sensitive to shock! Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.7Cups and glasses7Top basket 1"7Pans8Bottom basket 1Z8Tip8Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket.
