•Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that
specified in these operating instructions.
•Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher baskets with
anything other than dishes.
•Never leave the dishwasher door open as someone may trip
on it. Push the baskets in to avoid risking the dishwasher
tipping over.
•Use only dishwasher detergent!
•This machine can be used by children aged 8 and upwards,
and by people with reduced physical capacity, mental ability,
memory loss or lacking experience and knowledge. These
individuals must be supervised when using the machine or
have instructions on how to use the machine and understand
the risks that can occur. Cleaning of the machine must not
be carried out by children without supervision.
•Damaged supply cord must only be replaced by the
manufacturer's service centre or someone similarly
professionally qualified.
•Only use the dishwasher in household-type environments
for dishwashing household dishes. All other use is prohibited.
•Never place dishes with solvent residues in the dishwasher
due to the risk of explosion. Nor may dishes that contain
ash, wax or lubricants be washed in the dishwasher.
•Children must be watched. Do not allow children to use or
play with the dishwasher. Be especially vigilant when the
door is open. Some detergent may remain inside! After
adding detergent, always start the dishwasher immediately.

WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the
points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other
baskets.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised –dishwasher detergent is
corrosive!
Automatic child lock - CL
You can activate the Automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher.
See the chapter Settings. CL (Child Lock) will be shown on the display when pressing the control
panel. (To unlock, press and hold for three seconds.)
Child lock - CL
To prevent children from stopping the current dishwashing program, you can activate the child lock
function. Once you have started a program, press and hold for three seconds. CL (Child Lock) will
be shown on the display when pressing the control panel. (To unlock, press and hold 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 temperature and avoid long transport distances in very cold
weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.
Before transporting a used dishwasher, or before prolonged storage, water must first be removed
from the machine.
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.
6

•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.
Symbols
Explanation of symbols appearing on the appliance.
Recycle as electrical waste.
Read the user manual.

Before washing for the first time
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/l) 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
4:000.0-0.90-60-90-5
4:011.0-1.47-1010-146-8
4:021.5-2.011-1415-209-11
4:032.1-2.515-1821-2512-14
4:042.6-3.419-2426-3415-19
4:053.5-4.325-3035-4320-24
4:064.4-5.231-3644-5225-29
4:075.3-7.037-4953-7030-39
4:087.1-8.850-6171-8840-49
4:098.9628950
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 55° 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.
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 in the chapter Settings.
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
The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure
good dishwashing results. See page 22.
Set up:
•Rinse aid
•Water hardness
•TAB (All-in-one detergent)
•Automatic detergent dispensing
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.
Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 3:01 - 3:05.
Lift up to open
Press to close
1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.
3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.
Top up with salt
Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 4:01 - 4:09.
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. 750 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.

Top up dishwasher detergent for automatic dosing
Fill the automatic dosing compartment with dishwasher detergent gel if you have activated the
Automatic detergent dispensing setting.
Lift up to open
1. Open the lid of the automatic dosing compartment for dishwasher detergent gel.
2. Carefully add dishwasher detergent gel to the level marked MAX.
3. Clean up any excess dishwasher detergent gel outside the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent gel in the automatic dosing compartment! Do not use dishwasher
detergent powder. Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the
dishwasher from operating effectively.
Some thick dishwasher detergent gels are not suitable for the automatic dosing compartment.
Add very thick dishwasher detergent gel into the manual detergent compartment. See the
detergent manufacturer's recommendations.
Dosing of dishwasher detergent gel
Dishwasher detergent gel is dispensed during the main wash for all programs except Self-clean. A
little extra dishwasher detergent gel is also dispensed during the prewash in the following programs:
Auto 45-65°
Intensive 70°
