Before using for the first time

22

Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:

– approx. 2 litres of water,

– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,

– domestic dishwasher detergent,

– rinse aid formulated for domestic

dishwashers.

Every dishwasher is tested at the fact-
ory. There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an in-
dication that it has been used previ-
ously.

Dishwasher salt

In order to achieve good cleaning res-
ults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in a
build-up of calcium deposits on crock-
ery and in the dishwasher. 
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70
°d - German scale).

The water softener requires dishwasher
salt. 
Depending on the water hardness level
(< 3.8 mmol/l, or 21 °d - German scale),
dishwasher salt is not required if com-
bination tablets are being used (see
"Operation, Detergent").

If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly 

lower than 0.9 mmol/l

(5 °d - German scale)

 you do 

not

have to add dishwasher salt. The
prompt to add salt will be switched off
automatically if the water softener has
been programmed for this to happen.



Dishwasher detergent will dam-

age the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.



Only use special coarse grained

dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Other salts may contain insoluble ad-
ditives which can impair the func-
tioning of the water softener.
