FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on
the machine’s functional components.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the
lower rack on the left side).
It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.
It is important to set the water hardness.
Salt must be lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light on the control
panel is lit.
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap
(anticlockwise).
2. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir
right up to its edge (approximately 0,5 kg); it is not un-
usual for a little water to leak out.
3. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt reservoir
with water.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into
the container during the wash program (this could damage the water
softener beyond repair).
Run a program every time as soon as you completed relling the salt
reservoir to avoid corrosion.
Setting the water hardness
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that the
water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your house.
This information can be obtained from your local water supplier. The facto-
ry setting is 3”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.
To change, follow instructions in section “SETTING MENU”.
Only use salt that has been specically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator
light switches o.
If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the heating
element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.
Use of salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.
WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing
scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning eciency.
This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to rell
the salt container when empty. The frequency of regeneration depends
on the water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place once per 4-6
Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regeneration process
occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh water.
Single regeneration consumes: ~3L of water;
Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be
lled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
1. Open the dispenser B by
pressing and pulling up the
tab on the lid.
2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110
ml), making sure it does not
overow from the dispenser.
If this happens, clean the spill
immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.
Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid
If you are not completely satised with the drying results, you can adjust
the quantity of rinse aid used.
To change, follow instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.
If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW
RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.
A maximum of 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.
If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).
If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set
a mid-range number (4-5).
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce
the detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of
detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.
1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the
mentioned earlier information to add the proper
quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indica-
tions to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the
dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling
it up until the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at
the right time according to the program.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause
malfunction or damage to the appliance.

    • J
      Joanna NelsonAug 13, 2025
      If your Bauknecht Dishwasher isn't starting, make sure it's properly plugged into the socket. If there was a power outage, open the dishwasher door, press the START/Pause button, and close the door within 4 seconds. Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a click. If the door was opened for more than 4 seconds during a cycle, press START/Pause and close it within 4 seconds. If the control panel is unresponsive or displays F6 E1, turn the appliance off and back on after a minute, or unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in.

      If your dishes aren't getting clean in your Bauknecht Dishwasher, ensure the crockery is arranged correctly so the spray arms can rotate freely. Select a more appropriate wash cycle. Make sure that the detergent has been measured out correctly and is suitable for dishwashers. Ensure the rinse aid compartment cap is closed correctly. Clean the filter and descale the appliance if it's clogged with food residues or limescale. Also, ensure the salt reservoir is filled.

    What to do if the Descale indicator Lim is lit on my Bauknecht Dishwasher?
    • K
      Kenneth CollinsAug 31, 2025
      If the Descale indicator Lim is lit or blinking on your Bauknecht Dishwasher, it means limescale is accumulating on internal components. Immediately descale the appliance using the Self Clean program and a commercially available descaling product. Refill the reservoir with salt and check the water hardness setting. If not descaled, the appliance will stop functioning.

    Why is my Bauknecht B8I HP42 LC Dishwasher making excessive noise?
    • R
      Ronnie MejiaSep 5, 2025
      Excessive noise from your Bauknecht Dishwasher can be due to several reasons. Make sure crockery isn't rattling against each other by positioning it correctly. If there's an excessive amount of foam, it means the detergent hasn't been measured out correctly or isn't suitable for dishwashers; restart the cycle without adding detergent. Clean the filter assembly if it's clogged with food residues or limescale.
