Disposal

and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made
unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as
possible.
• The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling.
• Contact your local authority for information about where and
how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.
Before washing for the
first time
Program key
Some dishwashers include program keys in different languages.
Attach the program key in the desired language to the top of the
door.
Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your
area. This is important with regard to how much detergent and
rinse aid to use.
Top up with rinse aid
Drying is faster if you use rinse aid.
1 Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2 Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the level
marked max.
3 Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4 Close the lid firmly.
Selecting the rinse aid dosage
Rinse aid dispensing can be set from (Off) to (High
dose). (Factory settings: )
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have water marks.
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
• If the dishes are streaked.
• Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse aid can
be diluted 50:50 with water.
For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to
use rinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse aid).
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid dosage.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights
on the display.
NOTE!
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
