Safety instructions
Delivery
Immediately check the packaging and
dishwasher for any damage which may
have been caused in transit. Do not use
a damaged appliance, but consult your
supplier.
Please dispose of packaging material
properly:
Installation
Install and connect the appliance
according to the installation and
assembly instructions.
The dishwasher must NOT be
connected to the power supply during
installation.
Ensure that the protective conductor
system of the domestic electricity
supply has been installed correctly.
Electrical connection conditions must
correspond with the specifications on
the rating plate of the dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is to be installed
in a high-sided unit, ensure that the unit
is attached properly and also at the
rear.
Built-under and built-in appliances
should always be installed under a
continuous work surface which is
attached to the adjacent cupboards, in
order to ensure that the appliance is
entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed,
the mains plug should still be easily
accessible.
Not on all models:
The plastic housing on the water input
contains an electrically operated valve.
The connecting wires are inside the
inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose
and do not immerse the plastic housing
in water.
Warning
For safety reasons, if the appliance is not
fitted in a recess, thereby making a side
wall accessible, the door hinge area
should be covered at the side.
(Risk of injury)
Covers are available as optional
accessories from customer services or
specialist stores.
In daily use
Warning
Knives and other utensils with sharp points
must be placed in the baskets either flat or
with the points downwards.
Use the dishwasher only in the
household and only for its designed
purpose, i.e. for washing domestic
dishes.
Do not lean or sit on the open door.
The appliance could tip.
Please note that free-standing
appliances may tip over if the baskets
are overloaded.
The water in the appliance is not
drinking water.
Do not add any solvents to the washing
chamber. Danger of explosion!
Open the door carefully when the
programme is still running. Water could
spray out of the appliance.

Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft
water, i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind
on crockery and glasses, etc.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e.
decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt
to the water softener inside the
dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how
hard the tap water is.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the level of hardness of your
tap water. Your local water company or
service agent can help you with this.
Identify setting from the following water
hardness table.
Water hardness table
Press and hold the Bprogramme
button, and set the main switch
1
to
ON, before releasing the programme
button again.
The indicator lamp for the Bbutton
flashes, as does the figure
in the numerical display. The latter
represents the value that was pre-set in
the factory.
To change the setting:
Press the Bprogramme button
9
.
Every time the button is pressed, the
figure increases by one. After reaching
, the display starts at again.
Set the main switch
1
to OFF. The
new setting is stored in the appliance’s
memory.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for
regenerating the water softening system.
The overall water consumption per load
can therefore be increased by between 0
and a maximum of 4 litres according to the
water hardness setting.

Filling in the Salt
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment 24 .
Warning
Before switching on the appliance for
the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water
into the salt dispenser.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full
(max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,
water is being displaced and drains off.
Refill with salt always just before switching
on the appliance in order to prevent
corrosion. As a result, any salt solution
which has run over will be immediately
diluted and flushed out.
Then clean the filling area of salt
residues and screw the compartment
lid back on without tilting the lid.
The LOW SALT indicator
6
on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
When the control is set to , it is not
necessary to fill up with salt as none will
be consumed while the dishwasher is
operating. The LOW SALT indicator is
switched off. If the control is set between
and , then salt must be added to the
dispenser.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator
6
is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.

Adding rinse aid
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses.
Use only rinse aid for domestic
dishwashers.
Open the cover on the rinse-aid
dispenser 29 . To do this, press the
mark (1 ) on the cover and
simultaneously lift the cover on the
control plate (2 ).
Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just
below the edge of the filler opening.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
To prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove any
rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
Adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid
The amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the
stepless control. The rinse-aid control has
been set to ”4” in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)
are left on the dishes.

Not suitable for
the dishwasher
The following should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher:
Wooden cutlery and utensils – these
will leach out and become unsightly;
even the utilised stickers are not
suitable for the temperatures which
occur.
Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft
utensil and vases, special antique
or irretrievable utensils. These
ornaments are not dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax,
lubricating grease or ink.
Absorbent materials such as sponges
and cloths.
Aluminium and silver parts have
a tendency to discolour and fade during
the wash cycle. Even some types of glass
(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy
after many wash cycles.
Recommendation:
In future buy utensils which are identified
as dishwasher-proof.
Damage to glassware and other
dishes
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of
dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that
have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’
by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described
as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek
further information from detergent
manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a
temperature and as short a duration as
possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme has
ended.
Washing contents of UPPER
RACK only
*not on all models
If you only have a small number of dishes
to wash, put them all into the upper rack
and press the UPPER RACK button. This
saves energy and water. If you select the
UPPER RACK function, the lower rack
must be empty. Add a reduced amount of
detergent compared to that which is
recommended for a full load.

Arranging crockery, glasses,
etc. in the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of
left-over food. It is not necessary to
rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in such
a way that
Ditems such as cups, glasses,
pots/pans, etc. are stood upside
down,
Dcurved items, or those with
recesses, should be at a slant so
that water can run off,
Dthey are stacked securely and
cannot tip over,
Dthey do not prevent the spray arms
from rotating while washing takes
place.
Very small items should not be washed in
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top
basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the top basket.
Cups and glasses
Upper basket 20
*not included with all models
Pots and pans
Lower basket 27
Cutlery
Cutlery should be placed in the
dishwasher always unsorted and with the
eating surface pointing downwards. The
spray jet is then better able to reach the
individual parts.
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed
accessories and knives on the étagère
(some models) or on the knife shelf
(available as an accessory).
Folding spikes *
*on applicable models
To improve stacking of pots and pans, the
spikes can be folded down.

Shelf *
*not on all models
Lean tall glasses and those with long
stems against the shelf – not against other
items to be washed.
Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers
or knives should be placed on the shelf so
that they do not obstruct the rotation of the
spray arms. The shelf can be folded back
when not required for use.

If required, the height of the top basket can
be adjusted in order to create more space
for large utensils either in the top or bottom
basket.
Select one of the two following procedures
according to the design of the top basket
for your appliance model:
Top basket with upper
and lower roller pairs
Pull out the top basket.
Remove the top basket and re-attach it
to the upper or lower rollers.

Top basket with side levers
(Rackmatic)
Pull out the top basket.
To lower the basket, press in
succession the two levers on the left
and right sides of the basket. Always
take hold of the side of the basket on
the upper edge, otherwise the basket
will not drop smoothly (and may
damage the utensils).
To raise the basket, take hold of the
basket on the upper edge and pull
upwards.
Before you re-insert the basket, ensure
that it is at the same height on both
sides. Otherwise, the appliance door
cannot be closed and the upper spray
arm will not connect to the water circuit.
Baking sheet spray head *
*some models
You can clean large baking sheets or
grilles with the baking sheet spray head.
To do this, remove the top basket and
insert the spray head as illustrated in the
diagram.
To ensure that the spray jet can reach all
parts, arrange the baking sheets as
illustrated
(max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles).
Note
Never operate the dishwasher without the
top basket or baking sheet spray head!

Detergents
Information about detergents
You can use any brand of liquid or powder
detergent, as well as tablets, that have
been specifically designed for use in
domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal
washing-up liquid!)
Nowadays there are three types of
dishwasher detergent available:
1. those containing phosphates and
chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no
chlorine,
3. those containing neither phosphates
nor chlorine.
When a phosphate-free detergent is used
in conjunction with hard water, there is a
greater possibility that white marks will be
left behind on crockery and glasses, etc.
These can be avoided by pouring an
increased amount of detergent into the
dispenser.
Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced
bleaching effect. This can mean that tea
stains are not completely removed or
plastic items become discoloured.
This can be resolved by:
Dselecting a higher temperature
programme, or
Dincreasing the amount of detergent,
or
Dusing a detergent that contains
chlorine.
Check the label on the detergent
packaging to determine whether a
particular product is suitable for use with
silverware.
If you have any further questions, we
recommend that you contact the customer
advice departments of the various
detergent manufacturers.
Detergent compartment with
measuring marks
The side of the detergent compartment is
marked with lines to help you determine
how much powder to add.
The capacity of the detergent container is
15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to
the middle line. When the compartment is
full it contains 40 ml.
If the detergent dispenser 30 is still
closed, press the lock 28 to open the
detergent dispenser.
Adding detergent
Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent.
Please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the detergent
packaging when determining the
correct dosage.
Important
Due to the different solvency properties of
the detergent tablets supplied by various
manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of
the detergent may not be fully utilised by
short programmes. It is recommended to
use washing powder for these
programmes.
When you select the INTENSIVE
programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml of
detergent onto the inside surface of the
door.

Reduce costs!
If you are using the upper rack only, or if
your dishes are only moderately dirty, it will
normally suffice to employ a reduced
amount of detergent than otherwise
recommended.
Close the lid on the detergent
compartment.
Press down the lid (1) until it clicks
shut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form,
read the manufacturer’s
recommendations on the packaging in
order to
determine where the tablets should be
placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in
cutlery basket, detergent compartment,
etc.).
Make sure that the lid on the detergent
compartment is closed, even if you are
using tablets.
auto 3in1
The use of so-called combined detergent
products may make the use of rinse aid
and/or salt unnecessary.
There are currently several types of
combined detergent products available.
3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid
and salt function.
2in1: They contain detergent and rinse
aid or salt function.
>>> Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you
are using!
Always follow the operating instructions
or the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automatically
adjusted in order to obtain the best
possible rinsing and drying result.
Observe the following important
information if using combined cleaning
products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to
a water hardness of 21_dH (37_fH,
26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water
hardness is above 21_dH (37_fH,
26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt
24
and select
setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent
manufacturer, especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end
of the programme.

Note
Optimum rinsing and drying results can be
obtained by using standard detergents in
conjunction with separate application of
salt and rinse aid.
Observance of the operating instructions
or information on the packaging of the
combined detergents determines their
effectiveness.
Note
Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs
correctly when 3in1 products are used.

Washing dishes
Reduce costs!
If only a small number of
dishes have been loaded into
the dishwasher, selecting a
programme that operates at
the next lowest temperature
will usually suffice.
Programme data
The programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions.
Programme specifications refer to normal
conditions. Greater deviations may occur
due to:
different amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g.
temperature, water volume, ...).
Energy and water consumption is reduced
by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in
the upper basket only.
Water consumption values are based on a
water hardness setting of 4.
Aqua sensor *
*on applicable models
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring
device which measures the turbidity of the
rinsing water. A light barrier can detect
dissolved food remnants in the water, e.g.
egg, fat and oats.
The Aqua sensor is used according to
the programme. When the Aqua sensor
is active, ”clean” rinsing water may be
transferred into the next rinsing bath
and/or the temperature adjusted. If the
turbidity is greater, the water is drained
and is replaced with fresh water. In this
way the water consumption is reduced by
approx. 4 litres for utensils which are ”less”
dirty.
Switching the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch
1
to ON.
Indicators light up according to the last
programme that was selected.
This same programme will run again if

Maintenance and care
Aregular inspection and maintenance
of your machine will help to prevent faults.
This saves time and prevents problems.
Therefore you should occasionally have
a careful look inside your dishwasher.
Overall condition
of the machine
Check spray arm for grease and
limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with
detergent, start the appliance without
utensils in the programme which has
the highest wash temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/
appliance cleaners which are particularly
suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly wipe the door seal with
a damp cloth to remove deposits.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your
dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable
for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance
and panel with a damp cloth; water and
a little washing-up liquid will suffice.
Do not use sponges with a rough surface
or abrasive detergents, as these could
scratch the surfaces.
Attention!
Never use other chlorinated household
detergents! Health hazard!
Special dishwasher salt
Check the LOW SALT indicator
6
.
Top up with salt, if required.
Rinse-aid
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator
lights up on the control panel
7
,
refill with rinse aid.
Filters
The filters 25 prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside
the pump. This residue can occasionally
clog up the filters.
The filter system consists of a filter
cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on
the model, a microfilter (*).
Inspect the filters for obstructions every
time the dishwasher has been used.
By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you
can remove the filter system. Remove
any food remnants and clean the filters
under running water.
Reassembly:
Insert the filter system and screw down
with the filter cylinder.
