Water softenerIn order to achieve good cleaningresults, the dishwasher needs to

operate with soft water. Hard waterresults in the build-up of calciumdeposits on crockery and in thedishwasher.Mains water with a hardness levelhigher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 d - Germanscale) needs to be softened. This takesplace automatically in the integratedwater softener.

The water softener must be filled withdishwasher salt for reactivation.

The dishwasher must beprogrammed to correspond to thewater hardness in your area.

Your local water authority will be ableto advise you of the water hardness

level in your area.

Where the water hardness fluctuatese.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 dGerman scale) always programme thedishwasher to the higher value(3.1 mmol/l in this example).

In the event of a fault, it will help theservice technician if you know thehardness of your local water supply.

^ Enter the water hardness below:

Filling the salt reservoir

If the water in your area is very softand constantly lower than 0.7 mmol/l(4 d) you do not need to adddishwasher salt.The water softener must, however,still be programmed to correspondto the water hardness level in yourarea. (The salt indicator light will stillcome on, but should be ignored).

Important: Before filling the saltreservoir with dishwasher salt for thefirst time, you must fill it with approx.2 litres of water to enable the salt todissolve. Once the dishwasher hasbeen used, there is always sufficientwater in the reservoir.

, Inadvertently filling the saltreservoir with powder or liquiddishwasher detergent always leadsto serious damage to the watersoftener. Make sure you have pickedup the correct packet of dishwashersalt before filling the salt reservoir!

, Only use special coarse graineddishwasher salt for reactivation. Donot use other salts such as cookingsalt, agricultural grade or grittingsalt. These may contain insolubleadditives which can impair thefunctioning of the water softener.

^ Remove the lower basket andunscrew the salt reservoir cap.

^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres

of water (first use).

^ Place the funnel provided over thesalt reservoir and carefully fill with salt

until the reservoir is full. The saltreservoir holds approx. 2 kg of saltdepending on the brand used.

As the salt reservoir is filled, displacedwater will overflow.

^ Clean any excess salt from aroundthe reservoir opening and then screwthe cap on again firmly.

^ Run the "Pre-wash" programme im-mediately to remove any traces ofsalt water from the cabinet.


17


18/64

Salt indicatorThe salt indicator light comes on tonotify you that the reservoir is empty.

^ The reservoir should then be refilledwith dishwasher salt for reactivation.(See: Filling the salt reservoir).

After the reservoir has been filled, thewater softener is automaticallyreactivated the next time thedishwasher is run. The salt indicatorlight may still be illuminated during thisprocess. It will go out once the saltconcentration has reached the correctlevel.

Note

If the water in your area is very soft andconstantly lower than 0.7 mmol (4 d)

you do not need to add salt to thereservoir. The salt indicator light,however, will still come on, but shouldbe ignored.

(See "After sales service" for definitionof "PC").

Rinse aidRinse aid is necessary to ensure waterdoes not cling and leave marks on

crockery during the drying phase.Rinse aid is poured into the storagereservoir and the amount set isdispensed automatically.

, Inadvertently filling the rinse aidreservoir with powder or liquiddishwasher detergent alwayscauses serious damage to thereservoir. Only pour rinse aidformulated for domesticdishwashers into the reservoir.

Alternatively, it is possible to use

Household vinegar with a max. 5%acid content

or

Liquid citric acid up to 10% acidcontent.

The resulting rinsing and drying qualitywill not, however, be as good as whenrinse aid is used.

, Do not use vinegar with a higheracid content (e.g. vinegar essence25% acid). This must not be used asits use would damage thedishwasher.

crockery.

There is no need to rinse items underrunning water.

, Do not wash items soiled withash, sand, wax, lubricating greaseor paint in the dishwasher. Ash doesnot dissolve and is distributed in thewash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating

grease and paint cause damage tothe dishwasher.

Crockery can be loaded anywhere inthe baskets, but the following notesshould be observed:

^ Do not place crockery and cutleryinside other pieces where they maybe concealed.

^ Load the crockery so that water canaccess all surfaces. This ensures thatit is properly cleaned.

^ Make sure that all items are securelypositioned.

^ Hollow items such as cups, glasses,pans, etc. must be inverted in the

basket.^ Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.

champagne glasses, should beplaced in the centre of the basket toensure better water coverage.

^ Deep based items should be placedat an angle so that water can run offthem freely.

^ The spray arms must not be blockedby items which are too tall or hangthrough the baskets.If in doubt, test for free movement bymanually rotating the spray arms.

^ Make sure that small items do not fallthrough the holders in the baskets.Small items, e.g. lids, should

therefore be placed in the cutlery trayor cutlery basket.

Some foodstuffs may contain naturaldyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes orketchup. Plastic items in thedishwasher may discolour if largequantities of these foodstuffs findtheir way into the appliance on the

crockery. The stability of plasticitems is not affected by thisdiscolouration.

When the dishwasher is beingloaded food and drink residue maydrip onto the sides of thedishwasher door.These surfaces are outside the washcabinet and are not accessed bywater from the spray arms.Food residue should therefore bewiped away before the dishwasherdoor is closed.

30/64

Items not suitable fordishwashers: Wooden cutlery and crockery or

items with wooden parts: these maydiscolour and fade. The glue used inthese items is not dishwasher-proofand wooden handles may comeloose after being washed in adishwasher.

Craft items, antiques, valuable vasesand decorative glassware are also

not suitable for dishwashers. Plastic items which are not heat

resistant. The high temperatures inthe dishwasher may cause them tomelt or lose shape.

Copper, brass, tin and aluminiumitems may discolour or become matt.

Colours painted over a glaze mayfade after a number of washes.

Clouding may occur on glasses afterfrequent washing. Do not washglassware containing lead crystal ina dishwasher.

We recommend:

When purchasing new crockery andcutlery, make sure they aredishwasher-proof.

There are no standard guidelines forwashing glassware. When in doubt,wash glassware by hand.

If delicate glassware is washed in thedishwasher ensure that only very lowtemperatures are used (seeprogramme chart). This will reducethe risk of clouding.

Please note

Silverware previously cleaned with asilver polish may still be damp or

spotted at the end of a programme,where water has not run off smoothly. Itmay need rubbing dry with a soft cloth.Silver treated in a silver immersion dipis usually dry at the end of aprogramme but may discolour.

Silver which has been in contact withfoods containing sulphur can discolour.

These include egg yolk, onions,mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fishbrine and marinades.

, Aluminium components (e.g. agrease filter) must not be cleanedwith caustic alkaline commercial orindustrial cleaning agents. Thesemay damage material, or in extreme

cases, cause severe chemicalreaction. See section "Addingdetergent" for information on suitabledetergents.

31/64

Detergent

, Only use detergents formulatedfor domestic dishwashers. Do notuse washing up liquid.

^ You can use conventional powderdetergent, tablets or liquiddishwasher detergent.Refer to the dosing instructions givenby the manufacturer on thepackaging.

^ Put powder or liquid detergent intothe dispenser compartment.

^ Detergent tablets should only be putinto compartment II if this isrecommended by the manufacturer.If the manufacturer recommendsinserting tablets in the cutlery basketdo not do so. Instead place them on

the inside of the door or directly intothe wash cabinet to help themdissolve properly.

Detergent manufacturers give therequired amount of detergent for aparticular programme on theirpackaging.

^ Use at least 30 ml of detergent for afull load in the following programmes:- Intensive,- Universal plus,- Universal,- Normal,- Economy.If the manufacturer recommends alarger amount of detergent, use theamount recommended.

Failure to dispense therecommended amount of detergentmay impair cleaning results.

If you are using 2 in 1 or 3 in 1combination tablets, please continueto replenish the salt and rinse aidreservoirs as described in thisbooklet. Otherwise the cleaning anddrying performance of the machinemay deteriorate over time.

Cleaning the wash cabinetThe wash cabinet is largelyself-cleaning, provided that the correct

amount of detergent is always used.If, however, there are limescale orgrease deposits in the cabinet thesecan be removed with a proprietarydishwasher cleaner.

Cleaning the door and the doorseal^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

^ When the dishwasher is being loadedfood and drink residue may drip ontothe sides of the dishwasher door.These surfaces are outside the washcabinet and are not accessed by wa-ter from the spray arms. Any soilingshould be wiped off these surfacesbefore the door is closed.

Cleaning the control panel anddoor front panelPlastic panels:^ This type of panel should only be

wiped with a damp cloth or suitablecleaning agent designed for use onplastic.

, Do not use abrasive cleaningagents, glass cleaning agents orall-purpose cleaners. Because oftheir chemical composition theycould cause serious damage toplastic surfaces.

Stainless steel panels:^ Clean using a damp cloth and a little

washing-up liquid or with aproprietary non-abrasive cleaningagent designed specifically for useon stainless steel. To help preventre-soiling (finger prints etc.), aproprietary conditioning agent forstainless steel can also be used.Apply sparingly with an evenpressure following the direction of thegrain.

Aluminium panels:Aluminium is affected by the way thatlight falls on it, by the surroundingenvironment and by the angle youobserve it from.Aluminium is susceptible to scratchingand abrasion and must be treated withdue care.

^ Soiling should be removed as soonas possible using a damp cloth and a

little washing-up liquid.

Cleaning and care

42
