Disposal

Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly.
All packaging materials can be recycled.

Plastic parts are marked with standard international
abbreviations:
>PE<

for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material.

>PS<

for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-
free).

>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips.

Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper
and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for
recycling.
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher and withdraw
it from service, your should render it unserviceable before
having it disposed of.

Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your
dishwasher or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore cut off
the power supply cable and make the door closing device
unusable to prevent children from being trapped inside.

For the disposing of the appliance please take it to a recycling
centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the
costs, dispose it for you.

Economical and
ecological dishwashing

Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.

Do not pre-wash under running water. 

Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of 
the soiling on the dishes.

Do not use more detergent, special salt and rinse aid than is 
recommended in these operating instructions and by the 
manufacturer of the respective product.

Prior to using for the first time

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply 

with the installation instructions

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3. Set the water softener

4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill 

with salt

5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser

The water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.

If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water
softener on level 1 without using salt.

Only for dishwasher models with salt refilling
indicator light:

If the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 and no salt
is being used, the salt refilling indicator light on the control
panel, will always remain illuminated when the machine is
switched on.

Setting the water softener

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness switch until the required level (see 

table) corresponds with the marker .

4. Replace the lower basket.
