Before using for the first time

Water softener

In order to achieve good cleaning re- sults, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crock- ery and in the dishwasher.

Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d - German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener.

The water softener must be filled with dishwasher salt for reactivation.

The dishwasher must be pro- grammed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.

Your local water authority will be able to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d German scale) always programme the dishwasher to the higher value (3.1 mmol/l in this example).

In the event of a fault, it will help the service technician if you know the hard- ness of your local water supply.

^Enter the water hardness below: mmol/l or °d

Programming the water hardness level

The dishwasher is set at the factory for a hardness level of

2.7 - 2.9 mmol/l (15 - 16 °d).

If this setting corresponds to the hard- ness of your water you do not need to do anything more.

If your water is harder or softer, you will need to programme the water hardness level using the buttons on the control panel. Each time a button is pressed one of the other indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights men- tioned in the following programming process stages are significant.

The programming procedure can be cancelled at any time by pressing the "Off" button (o). The procedure can then be re-started from the be- ginning again.
