Before using for the first time Before using for the first time, please note the following. Setting the water softener The water softener must be set to corre - spond to the water hardness in your area.
Before using for the first time T o open the door ^ Press the r elease catch inside the door grip. If the door is opened during operation, all functions will be interrupted. T o close the door ^ Push the baskets in. ^ Lift the door and push until it clicks into position.
W ater softener T o achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water . Hard wa - ter results in the build up of calcium de - posits on dishes and in the dishwasher . If your tap water hardness is above 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), the water should be softened.
Programming and setting the water hardness le vel Y our water hardness level must be pro - grammed into the machine using the buttons on the control panel. The water hardness level selector in the wash cabinet is then also set to the water hardness level in your ar ea.

Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir If your water hardness level is gr eater than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when the “Salt” indicator lights.
Salt indicator When the salt reservoir is empty , the “Salt-PC” indicator will light, indicating that it should be refilled with r eactiva - tion salt. After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reacti- vated the next time the dishwasher is started.
Rinse aid Rinse aid is recommended to pr event spotting on dishes and glassware that normally occurs during the dr ying cycle. Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir . Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir .
^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen. Do not r efill until the “Rinse aid” indicator lights. Only use rinse aid labeled for resi- dential dishwashers. Inadvertently adding detergent to the rinse aid dispenser will damage the dis- penser .
Setting the dosage The dosage selector is preset to 3. This dispenses approximately 3 ml of rinse aid per program. It can be adjusted from 1 to 6, depending on your needs. ^ Use a higher setting if spots appear on dry glassware. ^ Use a lower setting if streaking appears on dishes or glasses.
Loading the dishwasher Do not wash items soiled with ash, wax, grease or paint in the dish- washer . Ash does not dissolve and will be distributed through out the inside of the dishwasher . Wax, gr ease and paint will cause permanent discolor - ation or damage to the dishwasher .

Do not place it in the areas marked with an X, these areas will not receive adequate water coverage. Cutlery (select models) ^ For the best cleaning results, knives and forks should be placed in the basket with handles down.
Spoon racks For the best cleaning of heavily soiled spoons, use the supplied spoon racks to raise them above the other cutlery for better water coverage.
Dishwashers with a cutlery tray (SC) T o make unloading easier , cutler y can be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, etc. Place the blades of knives and the tines of forks between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direc- tion with handles between the holders.
