Before washing for the
first time
The water softener
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher
needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water
leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Water hardness is specified using the following scales: The
German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water
hardness scale (°fH). A water supply with a water hardness in
excess of 6°dH (9°fH) must be softened. This is done
automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order
for the softener to function optimally, it must be adjusted to the
hardness of the water supply.
Contact the local waterworks, or measure the water hardness
using the supplied test strip, to check the water hardness in your
area. Once you have adjusted the water softener, use detergent
and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
How to use the test strip:
1 Turn on the water tap and let the water run for a minute or so.
2 Fill a glass with cold water.
3 Remove the test strip from its packaging.
4 Dip the test strip in the water for about one second.
5 Wait one minute. Now compare the colours of the squares
with the water hardness table.

Adjusting the water softener
In section Settings on page 12 the process for setting the water
softener is described. Do not forget to put salt in the salt
compartment after you have set the water softener.
Fill up the salt
Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener, you
must fill the salt compartment with salt. Use large grain salt or
special dishwasher salt.
WARNING!
Top up the salt just before running a programme. To avoid the
risk of rust stains, the dishwasher must be rinsed immediately
after topping up the salt.
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment.
This destroys the water softener!
Do as follows the first time:
1 Unscrew the lid as illustrated.
2 Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of water.
3 Then add salt, a maximum of 1.5 kg, until the compartment is
full.
4 Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on
firmly.
5 Run a programme to ensure that any salt in the dishwasher
is rinsed away.
Salt compartment lid
Refill salt indicator
When the salt needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the
display.
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cap and fill the container
with salt. Water is only needed the first time! Wipe clean and
tighten. Run a programme to ensure that any salt in the
dishwasher is rinsed away.
NOTE!
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
Top up with rinse aid
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse
aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear
and spotless dishes.
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.
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.

Setting the rinse aid dosage
The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid dosage.
Rinse aid dispensing can be set from (Off) to (High
dose). (Factory settings: )
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.
Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
Run programmes only with a full load
Wait to run a programme until the dishwasher is full, this way you
save energy. Use the Rinse programme to rinse the dishes if
there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher
to become fully loaded.
Run programmes at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a programme
with a low temperature.
Select a programme with the option Drying: Short
To save energy, use Drying: Short. The drying result will be better
if, once the programme 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
programme 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
Place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash.
Use a short programme with the lowest possible wash
temperature. Select Drying: Short. 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 fine glassware
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.
5

Your machine is equipped with a turbo drying function (Turbo
Drying Express+™), which improves the drying of plastic objects
and other items.

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. This
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and
rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and
also entails greater environmental impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is a
compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If
powder and liquid dishwasher detergents are used, add a small
amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact
the detergent manufacturer if you have 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 programmes
(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.
Chapter Settings describes how to activate TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one
detergent). Note that salt must be put in the salt compartment. If
you are not satisfied with the dishwashing or drying results,
deactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent) and top
up with salt, detergent and rinse aid. See Chapter Before washing
for the first time.
