3Your dishwasher is fitted with the new “PULSE WASH” dishwashing
system. With this dishwashing system the motor speed and spray
pressure are varied during the dishwashing cycle to achieve better
cleaning of the dishes. It is for this reason that the noise level var-
ies during the dishwashing cycle.

3To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes
must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The
water softener must be set according to the table to the water hard-
ness in the area where you live. Your local water company will be able
to give you information about the water hardness in your area.
The dishwasher must be switched
off.
Setting manually:

Adding special salt
To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with special salt.
Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.
If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with special salt:
–Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
–When the control indicator for special salt is illuminated on the con-
trol panel.
1. Open the door and remove the low-
er basket.
2. Screw open the lid on the salt dis-
penser by turning it anti-clockwise.
3. Only when using the dishwasher
for the first time:
Fill the salt dispenser with water.
4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the
dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special salt;
the capacity of the dispenser is ap-
prox. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the
size of the grains. Do not overfill the
dispenser.
3If water overflows when filling up with special salt, this is completely
harmless.
5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.
6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.
7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with special
salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been
spilt.
3Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
the salt to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for special
salt to go out.

12
Filling up with rinse aid
With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get
smear-free, gleaming dishes and clear glasses.
If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:
–Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
–When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control
panel.
Use only special rinse aid for dish-
washers and no other liquid deter-
gents.
1. Open the door.
The rinse aid compartment is locat-
ed on the inside of the dishwasher
door.
2. Press the release button on the rinse
aid compartment.
3. Open the cover.
4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to
the broken “max” line;
this corresponds to a volume of ap-
prox. 140 ml when full.
5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into
place.
6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a
cloth. Otherwise there will be too
much foam when rinsing.

13
Setting the amount of rinse aid required
3Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the
amount) or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on
glasses and dishes. (See section “If dishwashing results are not satisfac-
tory”.) The dosage can be set from 1-6. The dosage is pre-set to “4” in
the factory.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Press the release button on the rinse
aid compartment.
3. Open the cover.
4. Set the dosage level.
5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into
place.
6. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it
away with a cloth.

14
Activating/deactivating the inflow of rinse aid
If the 3 in1 button is pressed, you do not need to deactivate the inflow
of rinse aid.
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3If the LED indicator of only one programme button is illuminated, this
wash programme has been activated. The wash programme must be
deselected:

nate.
Exception: The 3in1 button will only illuminate if the function has been

In daily use
Loading cutlery and dishes
1Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water
must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes
and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore
do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.
•Before loading the dishes, you should:
–Remove the worst of the food residues.
–Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.
•When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
–Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
–Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so
that water cannot collect in them
–Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover
one another
–To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another
–Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in
the cutlery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.
For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
•Cutlery with wooden, horn,
china or mother of pearl han-
dles
•Plastic items that are not heat
resistant
•Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature
•Dishes or cutlery with glued
parts
•Pewter or copper items
•Lead crystal glass
•Steel items that rust
•Wooden boards/platters
•Items made from synthetic ma-
terials
•Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specifically marked by the manufacturer as
being dishwasher-safe.
•Glazed patterns may fade if washed very fre-
quently in the dishwasher.
•Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing. Food remains, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discoloration and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean food residues from silver immedi-
ately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.
•Glass can become dull after a large number of
washes.

17
Loading cutlery
1Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges
must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket because of the
risk of injury.
Place knives, small spoons and small
forks in the cutlery tray which is in
the upper basket.
Place forks and spoons that do not fit
in the cutlery tray in the cutlery bas-
ket.
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached
by the water, you should:
For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.
The cutlery basket can be opened
out.
Always make sure that you put your
hand around both parts of the two-
part handle when removing it from
the dishwasher.
1. Place the cutlery basket on a table
or work surface.
2. Open out the two-part handle.
3. Remove cutlery.
1.Place the grid insert on the cut-
lery basket
2.Place forks and spoons in the
cutlery basket's grid insert with
their handles pointing down-
wards.

18
Pots, Pans, Large Plates
Load larger and heavily soiled dishes
and pans in the lower basket.
(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).
To make it easier to load larger dish-
es, all rear plate rests in the lower
basket can be folded down.
Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service
Load smaller, fragile crockery and
long, sharp cutlery in the upper bas-
ket.
•Arrange items of crockery on and
under the folding cup racks so
that they are offset from each
other and water can reach all
items.

19
•The cup racks can be folded up
out of the way for tall crockery
items.
•Lay or hang wine and brandy
glasses in the slots in the cup
racks.
•For glasses with long stems, fold
the glass rack to the right, other-
wise fold it away to the left.
•The row of spikes on the left of
the upper basket is also in two
parts and can be folded away.
Spikes not folded away: place
glasses, mugs etc. in the upper
basket.
Spikes folded away: More room
for serving dishes.

20
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
3The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded.
Raising/lowering the upper basket
1. Pull out the upper basket complete-
ly.
2. Raise the upper basket as far as it
will go and then lower it vertically.
The upper basket will latch into the
lower or the upper position.
