5 User settings Water hardness The built-in water softener removes limescale from the water, enabling problem-free cleaning. Automatic regeneration occurs at regular intervals, thus guaranteeing its effectiveness. After regeneration, the next programme starts by rinsing out the water softener by pumping water through it and draining simultaneously. For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use with low water hardness and detergents.
5 User settings Hot water connection The available hot water is used optimally. If the water intake is still too cold, a short pre-rinse is carried out. The cleaning phase with hot water follows. If the additional energy saving function is selected, the water is heated up further electrically to only a minimum temperature, reducing energy consumption further.
Operation Preparing the appliance Opening the appliance door Pull the door handle forwards. – Any programme that is running will be automatically interrupted. Before using for the first time Switch the power on. Turn on the water tap. Fill the salt reservoir with approximately 1.0 l water and 1 kg regeneration salt.
6 Operation Dishwashing tips Tableware Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe. • Handcrafted objects and wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to heat or detergent suds should be cleaned by hand. • The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over time can wear off.
6 Operation Loading the baskets Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe. Follow the tips and advice in the 'Dishwashing tips' section. Remove any coarse or hard pieces of food or foreign objects left on the dishes. Make sure no toothpicks get into the appliance. Toothpicks can cause the filter system to become clogged up.
6 Operation Loading tips for the upper basket Pull the upper basket out as far as it will go and load. Arrange smaller items such as saucers, glasses, cups and dishes. If using the fold-down racks 1, stagger the items so that the water can reach the dirty surfaces better.
