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.

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.
