Safety instructions

WARNING!
Children must be supervised –dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Child lock
You can activate the Automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher.
See the chapter Settings. You can also temporarily activate and deactivate the Child lock function.
Press and hold and for three seconds.
Installation
See the chapter Installation.
Overflow guard function
The overflow guard starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level
in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water)
appears on the display. Turn off the water tap and contact your nearest service centre. (To avoid
water leakage outside the dishwasher, do not remove the plug from the wall socket until the water
tap on the supply line has been turned off!)
Winter storage/Transport
Store the dishwasher above freezing and avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.
Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.
Handle the front corners of the dishwasher with care so that they do not get bent, which can affect
door opening.
Before transporting a used dishwasher, or before prolonged storage, water must first be removed
from the machine. Run the Self-cleaning program.
Packaging
The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable.
Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer
can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging
is comprised of:
•Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
•Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine.
•Supports made from untreated wood.
•Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).
Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. 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. Remove the light source/light sources.
Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly
recycled.

Safety instructions

Water hardness
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.
Checking water hardness
Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of
water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/ll) must be softened.
This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener
to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you
have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable for soft
water.
Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.
Make a note of the water hardness:____________
Recommended settingmmol/l°eH°fH°dH
00.0-0.90-60-90-5
11.0-1.47-1010-146-8
21.5-2.011-1415-209-11
32.1-2.515-1821-2512-14
42.6-3.419-2426-3415-19
53.5-4.325-3035-4320-24
64.4-5.231-3644-5225-29
75.3-7.037-4953-7030-39
87.1-8.850-6171-8840-49
98.9628950
If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH / 62°eH / 8.9 mmol/l), we recommend connecting an
external water softener.
Increased consumption during regeneration
The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration
extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often
the dishwasher's water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting.
Example: If the Eco program is run with a water hardness of 14°dH (25°fH / 18°eH / 2.5 mmol/l), the
water softener is regenerated at regular intervals (after 7 dishwashing cycles), energy consumption
increases by 0.015 kWh, and water consumption increases by 2.3 litres, while the program time is
extended by 3 minutes. Regeneration takes place during the program’s main wash.

Before washing for the first time

WARNING!
Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important
that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness.
Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness
in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l).
Basic settings
Lightly press the middle of the upper part of the door to open the dishwasher. Press .

1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compartment top-up hole. First, pour
in about 1 l of water.
3. Add enough salt to fill the salt compartment (max. 630 gram). Use special dishwasher salt.
4. Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.
WARNING!
In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding
salt.

Before washing for the first time

Top up auto dose
Fill the automatic detergent dispenser compartment with dishwasher detergent gel if you have
activated the Auto dose setting.
Lift up to open
1. Open the lid of the automatic dishwasher detergent gel dispenser.
2. Carefully add dishwasher detergent gel to the level marked MAX.

NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent gel for automatic dosing! Do not use dishwasher detergent
powder. Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher
from operating effectively.
Dosing of dishwasher detergent gel
Dishwasher detergent gel is dispensed during the main wash for all programs except for Self-cleaning.
Dishwasher detergent gel is also dosed during the prewash in the following programs:

Before washing for the first time

The dishwasher saves energy and water
When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared
to washing the dishes by hand.
Do not rinse under running water
Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water
consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater
environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program (see number
of standard place settings). Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any
unpleasant odours.
You can also use the Anti-odour program to prevent bad odours from dirty dishes left in the
dishwasher.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program –Eco
This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in
terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with
EU legislation on ecodesign.
The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as
possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.
Select option –Auto Open
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto Open option, which automatically opens the
dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the programme has ended and the dishes
have cooled before unloading the dishwasher.
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an
energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot
water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
