A. Loading the Salt Into the Softener

Always use salt intended for dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the basket.

Attention!

• Only use salt specifically designed for dishwashers. Other types (e.g., table salt) will damage the water softener. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by unsuitable salt.
• Fill with salt just before starting a complete washing program. This prevents salt grains or salty water from causing corrosion.

Procedure:

1. Remove the basket, unscrew and remove the salt container cap.
2. Before the first wash, add 1 liter of water to the salt container.
3. Place the funnel (supplied) into the hole and add about 1kg of salt. A small amount of water may come out.
4. Screw the cap tightly back clockwise.

The salt warning light usually extinguishes within 2-6 days after filling. Immediately start a washing program (suggested: rapid program) after filling salt to prevent damage to the filter system, pump, or other parts by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE:

• Refill the salt container only when the salt warning light comes on. The light may stay on even if filled, depending on salt dissolution. If no light (on some models), judge refill by cycles run.
• If salt spills, run a soak or rapid program to remove excess salt.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

Step 1: Enter salt adjustment mode

Close the door. Within 60 seconds after power on, press and hold the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds.

Step 2: Select salt consumption level

Press the Start/Pause button to select the level according to your local environment. Sets change in sequence: H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6.

Step 3: Exit salt adjustment mode

After five seconds of inactivity, the machine exits set mode and enters standby.

There are 6 levels of salt consumption. Recommended levels based on water hardness:

Note: 1) German degree; 2) millimol (international unit). * Factory setting. Contact your local water board for water hardness information.

B. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water droplets, spots, and streaks, improving drying. Use liquid rinse aids. The dispenser is inside the door. Open the cap, pour rinse aid until the level indicator is completely black. Container volume is about 110ml.

Function of Rinse Aid: Ensures thorough rinsing and spot/streak-free drying.

Attention! Only use branded rinse aid. Never fill with other substances (e.g., cleaning agent, liquid detergent) as this will damage the appliance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser: If no rinse-aid warning light, judge by the optical level indicator "C" next to the cap. Full = dark indicator. As it diminishes, the dark dot decreases. Never let it go below 1/4 full.

Indicator levels: Full, 3/4 full, 1/2 full, 1/4 full (refill to eliminate spotting), Empty.

How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser:

1. Open dispenser cap (turn to "open" arrow, lift).
2. Pour rinse aid, avoid overfilling.
3. Replace cap (align with "open" arrow, turn to closed arrow).

NOTE: Clean up spills with an absorbent cloth to avoid foaming. Replace cap before closing door.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser:

The dispenser has six or four settings. Start with "4". If spots/poor drying occur, increase to "5" by rotating the dial. Adjust higher if needed until dishes are spot-free. Recommended setting is "4" (factory value).

NOTE: Increase dose for water drops or lime spots. Reduce for sticky whitish stains or bluish film on glassware/knives.

C. Detergent

Detergents contain chemical ingredients to remove dirt. Most commercial quality detergents are suitable.

Normally, powdered detergents are phosphate-free. If using phosphate-free detergents with hard water, white spots may appear. Add more detergent for better results. Detergents without chlorine bleach only slightly. Strong/colored spots may not be removed completely; choose a higher temperature program.

Concentrated Detergent: Can be conventional (alkaline) or low alkaline concentrated (with natural enzymes).

Detergent Tablets: Dissolve at different speeds. Use long programs for full cleaning power and to ensure residual removal. NOTE: Tablets are only for models with 3-in-1 function/program.

Detergent Dispenser: Refill before each wash. Uses less detergent than conventional dishwashers. Generally, one tablespoon is sufficient for a normal load. Add detergent just before starting, otherwise it may get damp and not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use:

1. Push latch to open dispenser lid.
2. Add detergent powder or detergent tablet.

NOTE: If lid is closed, press release button. Lid springs open. Always add detergent just before starting. Use only branded dishwasher detergent.

6. Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

Recommendation:

• Consider dishwasher-proof utensils.
• Use a mild "kind of dishes" detergent. Seek info from manufacturers if needed.
