Settings

Softener

The softener removes minerals from the water that can negatively affect washing performance and the appliance. Higher mineral content means harder water. Water hardness is measured in equivalent units.

The softener should be adjusted according to your local water hardness. Consult your local water supplier for water hardness information. Setting the correct level for the softener is crucial for ensuring good washing results.

Water Hardness and Softener Settings

Local Water Hardness Examples

¹⁾ H3 is the factory setting.

²⁾ H1 setting does not require dishwasher salt.

Regardless of whether you use standard detergent or multi-functional tablets (with or without salt), set the appropriate water softener level to keep the dishwasher salt indicator active.

^ⓘ Multi-functional tablets containing salt cannot effectively soften hard water.

How to set the softener level:

1. Press the On/Off key to turn on the appliance.
2. After the appliance has been on for 60 seconds, press and hold the key for more than 5 seconds to enter the softener setting mode.
3. Press the program key repeatedly to cycle through the softener levels (H1-H2, H3-H4, H5-H6) on the display.
4. Press the On/Off key to confirm the setting.

Rinse Aid Empty Indicator

Rinse aid helps dry dishes and remove water spots and grease. Always use rinse aid for optimal drying results.

Rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse cycle. The rinse aid indicator lights up when the rinse aid compartment is empty, prompting you to refill it.

Tips and Tricks

General Guidelines

The following tips will help ensure optimal washing and drying performance while also protecting the environment:

• Remove large food residues from dishes and place them in the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. If necessary, use the pre-wash program or select a program with a pre-wash step.
• When loading the appliance, ensure that the water sprayed from the spray arms can reach and clean all dishes. Make sure dishes do not touch or cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid, and dishwasher salt separately, or use multi-functional tablets (e.g., "3-in-1", "4-in-1", "5-in-1"). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
• Select the program according to the load type and soiling level. The ECO program allows you to use water and energy most efficiently for cleaning lightly soiled dishes.

Using Dishwasher Salt, Rinse Aid, and Detergent

• Only use dishwasher-specific salt, rinse aid, and detergent. Other products can damage the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water, it is recommended to use standard dishwasher products (detergent powder, gel, or tablets without additives), rinse aid, and dishwasher salt separately to optimize washing and drying results.
• Run a dishwasher cleaner at least once a month.
• Detergent tablets may not dissolve completely in short programs. To avoid detergent residue on dishes, it is recommended to use detergent tablets in programs with longer wash cycles.
• Do not exceed the recommended detergent dosage. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

How to Stop Using Combination Tablets

Follow these steps to use detergent, dishwasher salt, and rinse aid separately:

1. Set the softener to the highest level.
2. Ensure the salt and rinse aid compartments are filled.
3. Run the shortest program with a rinse step, without adding detergent or loading dishes.
4. After the program finishes, adjust the softener according to your local water hardness.
5. Adjust the rinse aid release amount.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty indicator.
