The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply,which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance.The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales.The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results. Softening hard water increases the consumption of water and energy as well as the programme duration.The higher the level of water softener,the higher the consumption and the longer the duration.

Hints and Tips

General

Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to protect the environment.

Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed in the user manual usually consumes less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save water and energy. For best cleaning results, arrange items in the baskets as instructed in the user manual and do not overload the baskets.
Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases the water and energy consumption.When needed,select a programme with a prewash phase.
Remove larger residues of food from the dishes and empty cups and glasses before putting them Inside the appliance.
Soak or slightly scour cook ware with firmly cooked-on or baked-on food before washing it in the appliance.
Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes.
You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g.”All in 1″ ). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil.ECO offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.
To prevent limescale build up inside the appliance:
- Refill the salt container whenever necessary.
- Use the recommended dosage of the detergent and rinse aid.
- Make sure that the current level of the water softener agrees with the hardness of the water supply.
- Follow the instructions in the chapter “care and cleaning”.

Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

Only use salt. rinse aid and detergent designed for dishwasher.Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
In areas with hard and very hard water. we recommend to use basic dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,tablets containing no additional agents rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.
Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware.we recommend that you use tablets with long programmes.
Always use the correct quantity of detergent Insufficient dosage of detergent can result in poor cleaning results and hard-water filming or spotting on the Items. Using too much detergent with soft or softened water results In detergent residues on the dishes.Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness.Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Always use the correct quantity of rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid decreases the drying results. Using too much rinse aid results In bluish layers on the items.
Make sure that the water softener level is correct. If the level is too high, the increased quantity of salt in the water might result in rust on cutlery.
