Before washing for the first time 1. Water hardness In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Water hardness is specified using the German water hardness scale (°dH) or the French water hardness scale (°fH). A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 6°dH (9°fH) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener.
Before washing for the first time Select setting Main power switch Confirm setting Settings 1. Language Select the language to be shown on the display. 2. Rinse aid 0/1/2/3/4/5/TAB Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results. Select rinse aid dosage. The rinse aid dispenser can be adjusted between 0 (Off) and 5 (High dosage). When using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid, select the TAB setting.
Before washing for the first time 3. Water hardness 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 Adjusting the water softener. Select a setting depending on the hardness of the water supply. It is important that this setting is correct! Do not forget to put salt in the salt compartment after you have set the water softener to 1 - 9. For a water supply with a hardness under 6°dH (9°fH), select 0. The water softener is deactivated and no salt is needed. Pre-selected at factory: 0 Add salt Salt compartment lid 1.
Greener dishwashing The dishwasher saves energy and water When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared to washing the dishes by hand. Do not rinse under running water Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher Fragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking. Fragile decoration Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
