8 Setting
 up the water
softener
In  order to provide satisfactory rinsing
results, the dishwasher requires soft water ,
i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers.If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e., decalcified, so that it can be used in the 
dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the 
dishwasher. The water softener , that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how hard the tap water is. The softening system must be adjusted before the appliance is used for the first time or if the water hardness changes.
Determine the degree of hardness of your tap water . Your water utilities
company or customer service willadvise you.
Switch on the appliance with the main switch  1
. The main menu is
displayed (if switching on the appliance for the first time, only when a language has been selected and dispensers have been filled with salt (if required)and rinse aid).
Keep pressing button M/OK 2  until
the “Hardness” setting is displayed.
Using the buttons – or + 3 , select
the set value between 0 and 7 which corresponds with the degree ofhardness of your tap water in the following table. The factory setting is “Hardness 4”.
Press the button M/OK 2  The set
value is saved and you are returned to the Start menu.
If the setting is “0” the softening systemis switched of f. Possible lack of salt will
not
 be indicated.

Filling
 in the salt
If  the hardness of your mains water
corresponds to the device’ s index value
 (see chapter “Setting up the softening
system”), you do not need to fill in the salt because the operation will not use anysalt. If the set values 
 to  are
displayed, salt must be added. During the rinse cycle the salt is being washed automatically from the salt compartment into the softening system where it will dissolve the lime. The lime-containing solution drains from the dishwasher . Afterwards the softening
system is ready to be loaded again. This regeneration cycle will only work if the salt is dissolved in water .
After switching on the device,  lack of salt
is indicated by the display “Refill Salt”. (This display will no longer appear once you have set the softening system to the value 
.)
Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 
26 .
Before operating the device for the first time you must pour 1 litre of water into the salt compartment.
Then you must refill salt (not table salt) using the  supplied salt filling aid  until the
salt compartment is full (max 1.5 kg).When you refill the salt, water is being displaced and drains of f. Therefore the
refilling must take place shortly before switching on the device. (In order to avoid corrosion). This way the overflowing salt solution is diluted and flushed immediately .
Then clean the filling area of salt residues and screw the compartment lid back on without tilting the lid. As soon as a suf ficiently high salt solution
has formed the display “Refill Salt” will 
disappear.If you do not want to wait until the display disappears but you want to wash immediately , confirm the refilling of the salt
using the button M/OK 
2 .
If you do not want to refill the salt now you can skip the display “Refill Salt” by pressing the button M/OK 
2 .
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener .
Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for severalmonths.

10 Filling
 with rinse aid
Rinse  aid is used in washing mode to
ensure that glasses are sparkling and utensils are stain-free. When the appliance is switched on,  low
rinse aid  level is indicated by ”Refill rinse
aid”. Y ou can add rinse aid either when the
appliance door is completely open or – for a more comfortable posture – when the door is half open.
Open the rinse aid dispenser 31  by
pressing the button on the dispenser cover and open the cover . When the
door is half open, also pull out the hinged filling aid until it locks into position.
Fill in the rinse aid slowly and take care not to overfill. The right amount is indicated by the level indicator at thecompartment not being illuminated when the door is fully opened and by the display “Refill Rinse Aid” no longer being lit.
Close the lid of the compartment until it audibly clicks into place. If necessary ,
the filling aid will be re-inserted
automatically.
If you want to fill in the rinse aid at a latertime you can skip the display “Refill Rinse Aid” by pressing the button M/OK 
2 . If necessary
, you can change the amount
of rinse aid that is added during the operation. In order to do this, select the option “Rinse Aid Amount” as described in the chapter “Device Set-up” underthe heading “Options/Basic Settings”.
