To ensure good washing results,
the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
containing low amounts of lime,
otherwise white limescale will be
deposited on the utensils and inner
container.
Tap water above 1.2 mmol/l must be
softened. The water is softened with
special salt (regeneration
salt) in the water softening
system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt
depends on the degree of hardness of
your tap water (see table).
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be
set from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.
Salt is not required at the set value
•:‹‹.
1. Find out about the hardness value of
your tap water. Your water utility
company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water
hardness table.

Not suitable
■Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
■Delicate decorative glasses, craft
and antique utensils. These decors
are not dishwasher-proof.
■Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
■Copper and tin utensils.
■Utensils which are soiled with ash,
wax, lubricating grease or ink.
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.
Glass and utensil damage
Causes:
■Glass type and glass production
process.
■Chemical composition of the
detergent.
■Water temperature of the wash
programme.
Recommendation:
■Use only glasses and porcelain
which the manufacturer designates
as dishwasher-proof.
■Use a detergent which protects
utensils.
■Take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher as soon as possible after
the programme ends.
Loading the dishwasher
1. Remove large food remnants. It is
not necessary to prerinse utensils
under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that
– they are secure and cannot tip
over.
– all utensils with their openings
face down.
– parts with curves or indentations
are at an angle, thereby allowing
water to drain.
– does not obstruct rotation of the
two spray arms 1B and 1J.
Very small utensils should not be
washed in the machine, as they may fall
out of the baskets.
Unloading the dishwasher
To prevent water from dripping off the
upper basket onto the utensils in the
lower basket, it is recommended
to empty the appliance from the bottom
up.
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!
Therefore, when the programme ends,
leave the utensils to cool down in the
dishwasher until they can be handled.
Note
When the programme ends, water
droplets can still be seen inside
the appliance. This does not affect
the drying of the utensils.

Select one of the two following
procedures according to the design of
the top basket for your appliance model:
Top basket with side levers
1. Pull out the top basket 1* out.
2. To lower the basket, press in the left
and then the right lever on the
outside of the basket. In doing so,
hold the sides of the basket along
the upper edge to prevent it from
suddenly dropping.
3. To raise the basket, hold the basket
on the sides of the upper edge and
lift it up.
4. Before re-inserting the basket again,
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 be
connected to the water circuit.
Top basket with upper and
lower roller pairs
1. Pull out the top basket 1* out.
2. Remove the upper basket and re-
attach it to the upper (stage 3) or
lower (stage 1) rollers.

Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but
never use washing-up liquid. The
dosage can be individually adjusted with
powder or a liquid detergent according
to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain
an adequately large amount of active
ingredients for all cleaning tasks.
Modern, powerful detergents
predominantly use a low-alkaline
formulation with enzymes. Enzymes
break down starch and remove protein.
To remove coloured stains (e.g. tea,
ketchup), oxygen-based bleaching
agents are generally used.
Note
To ensure a good washing result,
always follow the instructions
on the detergent packaging!
If you have further questions,
we recommend that you contact
the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
mWarning – Read and observe the
safety information and instructions for
use on the packaging for cleaning and
rinsing agents.
Adding detergent
1. If the detergent dispenser 9* is still
closed, press the lock 92 to open
the detergent dispenser.
Pour detergent into the dry detergent
dispenser 9* only (insert tablet flat,
not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
The graduated detergent
dispenser 9* helps you add the
correct amount of powder or liquid
detergent.
Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate
for normal soiling. If using tablets,
one tablet is adequate.
2. Close the cover on the detergent
dispenser by sliding it up until the
lock engages without difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens
automatically at the optimum time
depending on the programme.
The powder or liquid detergent
is distributed in the appliance and is
dissolved, the tablet falls into
the tablet collecting tray where it
dissolves in doses.

Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled,
slightly less than the indicated amount
of detergent is usually adequate.
Suitable detergents and care products
can be purchased online
via our website or via customer service
(see back page).
Combination detergent
Apart from conventional detergents
(Solo), a number of products are offered
with additional functions. These
products contain not only the detergent
but also rinse-aid and salt replacement
substances (3in1) and, depending
on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.),
additional components such as glass
protection or stainless steel cleaner.
Combination detergents function only
up to a specific degree of hardness
(usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt
and rinse-aid must be added.
As soon as combined detergents
are used, the rinse programme
is adjusted automatically to ensure
the best possible rinsing and drying
result.
mWarning – Do not place small parts
for washing in the tablet collecting tray
1:; this prevents the tablet from
dissolving evenly.
mWarning – If you want to add more
utensils after the programme
has started, do not use the tablet
collecting tray 1: as a handle
for the upper basket. The tablet could
already be there and you will touch
the partially dissolved tablet.
Notes
■You will obtain optimum rinsing
and drying results by using solo
detergents and applying salt
and rinse aid separately.
■If programmes are short, tablets
may not have full cleaning effect
due to different dissolving properties
and there may even be undissolved
detergent residue. It is
recommended to use washing
powder for these programmes.
■The Intensive programme (on some
models) requires one tab only. When
using washing powder, you can
apply some of this cleaning agent
to the inside of the appliance’s door.
■Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme
will run correctly with combined
detergents.
■If using detergents in a water-soluble
protective cover: Take hold of the
cover with dry hands only and put
the detergent into an absolutely
dry detergent dispenser only,
otherwise the detergent may stick.
■If you switch from combined
detergents to solo detergents,
ensure that the water softening
system and amount of rinse aid have
been set to the correct value.
