Disposal
•When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life
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
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 0 (Off) to 6 (High dose).
(Factory settings: 5)
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 Special 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.

Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you
save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold program to rinse the dishes
if there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the
dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a lower
temperature with certain programs. See also the section Selecting
Options in the chapter Using the dishwasher.
Select a program with Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result will be better if,
once the program is finished, you leave the door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the
dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power or geothermal power to
heat your home. Choosing a hot water connection cuts program
times and reduces the dishwasher's electricity consumption.
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several
reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others
can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel
rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Position items so that they do not touch each other during the
wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest
possible program. Select No dry. Antique and very fragile items
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Glass washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures can gradually
develop a grey film that cannot be removed. Wash fragile glasses
at a low temperature and with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as
the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the
handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher if marked
dishwasher safe.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However,
good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher,
even if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high
temperatures.
Your machine is equipped with a turbo drying function (Turbo
Drying Express™), which improves the drying of plastic objects
and other items.
NOTE!
Plastic items should not be placed in the circled area of the
lower basket as they can be damaged by the heat.
Upper basket and knife basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper
basket. Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf (if fitted).
Place sharp knives in the special knife basket at the top of the
dishwasher, or in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
NOTE!
All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!

Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
1 Prewash detergent compartment
2 Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and
also entails greater environmental impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is one
compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If tablets
are not used, add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash
compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have
any questions about the detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised –dishwasher detergent is
corrosive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not
be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from
operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is
a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is
tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs
(less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent instead.
3–in–1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If
anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.

ActionPossible causesProblem
Remove the arms and clean them.The spray arms do not rotate.The dishes are not clean.
Check that the dishes are not blocking the
spray arms.
Avoid large packages.Old detergent. Detergent is a perishable
product.
Dose according to water hardness. Far too
much or far too little detergent results in
poorer dishwashing results.
Incorrect detergent dosage.
Select a higher temperature or a more pow-
erful program.
Dishwashing program too weak.
Do not cover porcelain with large bowls or
the like. Avoid placing very tall glasses in the
corners of the baskets.
Dishes loaded incorrectly.
Place dishes to sit steady.Glasses and cups have toppled over during
the program.
Screw the filter firmly into place. See the
section Care and cleaning.
The filter is not correctly fitted.
See the sections Before washing for the first
time and Special settings.
Incorrect rinse aid dosage setting.Spots or films on the dishes.
Wash crystal at a low temperature and with
a conservative amount of detergent. Contact
the detergent manufacturer.
Too high temperature and/or too much deter-
gent can cause etching on crystal. Unfortu-
nately, this cannot be repaired, only prevent-
ed.
Reduce the amount. See the sections Before
washing for the first time and Special set-
tings. If you have very soft water, you may
want to dilute the rinse aid 50:50 with water.
Rinse aid dosage setting too high.The dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
Rinse off these types of foodstuffs if not
starting the dishwasher immediately. Why
not use the Rinse & Hold program.
Some foodstuffs, such as mustard, mayon-
naise, lemon, vinegar, salt and dressings,
can mark stainless steel if left for too long.
Spots on stainless steel or silver.
Silver and stainless steel items should not
come into contact during dishwashing.
All stainless steel can cause spots on silver
if they come into contact during dishwashing.
Aluminium can also cause spots on dishes.
Use a detergent with a bleaching agent.Lipstick and tea can be difficult to wash off.Spots left after washing.
