Before using your dishwasher for the first time
When your new dishwasher is correctly set up and installed, you must first
make it ready for use.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time, proceed as follows:
- set the water softener;
- fill the special salt container with special salt;
- fill the rinse-aid dispenser with rinse-aid.
The following sections give you more detailed information about the
individual points.
Setting the water hardness range
Soft (low-lime) water is necessary for machine washing to avoid lime
deposits on crockery and in your dishwasher. Tap water with a hardness
above 4°d (German degree) must therefore be softened for machine washing.
For this purpose, your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. The water
softener is treated (regenerated) automatically and at regular intervals with
salt solution. The salt consumption needed for regeneration thus depends on
the local water hardness. Your local water company will provide you with
information about water hardness in your area.
To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener:
- the water softening system must be set to the local water hardness;
- the dishwasher salt container must always be filled with special salt.
Your local Water Company will provide you with information about water
hardness in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area, the softener should be adjusted.
If you use phosphate free detergents containing enzymes, use salt starting
from 4°dH (7°TH).
