Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or
no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on
crockery and glasses, etc.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it
must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be
used in the dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water
softener inside the dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required amount of salt,
is set up according to how hard the tap water is.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the level of hardness of your tap water.
Your local water company or service agent can help
you with this.
Identify setting from the following water hardness
table.
Water hardness table
Hold down programme button B and switch on the
1
main switch, then release both buttons.
The LED for button
B flashes and the digital
display displays the factory setting
.
To change the setting,
press programme button B .
Each time the button is pressed, the set value
increases by 1; after , the setting goes back to
.
Switch off the main switch
1
. The chosen setting
has now been stored.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for regenerating
the water softening system. The overall water
consumption per load can therefore be increased by
between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the
water hardness setting.
Filling the salt dispenser
Salt must always be filled before the appliance is
switched on, so that excess salt solution is immediately
flushed away to prevent corrosion.
Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 24 .
Before using the appliance for the first time, pour
about 1 litre of water in the salt container.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt) until the salt
container is full (max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the
salt, water is being displaced and drains off.
The LOW SALT indicator
5
on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after
a short period when the salt solution has become
sufficiently concentrated.
When the control is set to
, it is not necessary to fill
up with salt as none will be consumed while the
dishwasher is operating. The LOW SALT indicator is
switched off. If the control is set between and ,
then salt must be added to the dispenser.
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container for special
salt. This would destroy the water softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator
5
is lit on the
control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next
rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness
setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be
topped up for several months.
