Fig. 11 – Discharging into a container
Hang the end of the waste water hose in a sink (see
Fig. 10) or a sufficiently large container (see Fig. 11).
Ensure that the waste water hose is inclined sufficient-
ly. The appliance is to be positioned at least 4 cm high-
er than the sink/container.
Use, e.g. a retaining bracket or hose guide with suc-
tion cup (not included in package contents) to hang
the drain hose to ensure that the drain hose is firmly
attached.
7.5. Connecting to power supply
Once you have connected the washing machine to the
water supply and drainage, connect the mains plug
(24) to a socket.
The socket must be easily accessible so that you can
unplug the appliance from the mains quickly if neces-
sary.
8. Preparations for use
Fig. 12 – Opening the door
Hold the recessed grip (1) and open the door by pull-
ing it towards you. Open the door completely (see
Fig. 12).
If the door is opened during operation the wash cycle will
automatically be interrupted.
8.1. Closing the door
Push the dish rack (6) fully into the appliance.
Press on the door until you hear it lock into place.

8.2. Adding salt to the appliance
Dishwasher salt (regeneration salt) is used to harden water
from a water hardness of 1-2 "medium".
It is advisable to add dishwasher salt.
NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
Using an incorrect salt additive may damage the appli-
ance.
Always use dishwasher salt/regeneration salt that is
suitable for the dishwasher.
Normal household salt is not suitable and can damage
the appliance.
Fig. 13 – Filling with salt
Remove the dish rack (6) and twist the lid off the salt
container (11).
Fill the salt container with approx. 1 l water before the
first use (see Fig. 13).
Use a suitable aid such as a normal household funnel
to pour 130 g of dishwasher salt into the opening on
the salt container (11). It is normal if water escapes from
the salt container.
Once the container has been filled, twist the lid clock-
wise to tighten (see Fig. 13).
To prevent damage to the appliance, a quick program
without dishes or dishwasher detergent should be
started immediately after filling with salt (see section
"9.6. Selecting a wash program" on page 115).
The salt container (11) must be filled up when the salt
warning light switches on. Once the salt consumption has
been set according to "8.3. Setting salt consumption" on
page 110 and the salt container (11) has been filled, the
salt warning light will go out.
8.3. Sett ing salt consumption
For good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs low-
lime water. Adding regeneration salt helps to achieve the
required water hardness with the aid of the softening
system. To maintain the function of the softening system,
regeneration is performed regularly, resulting in higher
water and energy consumption during the process (see
table below).
Set the required salt consumption, depending on the
local water hardness.
The table below shows what setting is necessary for
your local water hardness.
