10
Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid
detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up
liquid. Tablets contain not only detergent but also
rinse-aid and salt (3in1) and, depending on the
combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components
such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner.
If tablets contain rinse-aid and salt, it is usually not
necessary to add additional rinse-aid and salt up to a
specific degree of hardness. If the degree of hardness
is higher and if using solo detergents (powder or liquid
detergents or tablets without rinse-aid and salt)
rinse-aid and salt must be added. The appliance doses
these automatically according to the preset values for
water hardness and amount of rinse-aid.
As soon as combined detergent products are used,
the rinse programme is adjusted automatically
to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying
result.
Tip
Follow the instructions for use or the instructions on the
detergent packaging to ensure that rinse-aid and salt
are used effectively.
If you have further questions, we recom- mend that you
contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
Detergent dispenser with dosing aid
The graduated detergent dispenser 33 helps you add
the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent:
lower line: 15 ml
middle line: 25 ml
full: 50 ml
Adding detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser 33 (insert tablet
flat, not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
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.
Warnings
Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet
collecting tray 24 ; this prevents the tablet from
dissolving evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after the
programme has started, do not use the tablet
collecting tray 24 as a handle for the upper basket.
The tablet could already be there and you will touch
the partially dissolved tablet.
Note
You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by
using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse-aid
separately.
f 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 if combined
detergents are used (when using combined
detergents, add rinse-aid at a water hardness above
21 _dH – see chapter entitled “Rinse-aid”).
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.
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.

comparability tests”.
Open the door approximately 50 mm at the end of the
drying cycle

12
Additional options
* depending on model
Additional options 9can be set with the buttons.
Turbo
*
The programme running time is reduced significantly in
the Turbo programme. The energy consumption is
increased by up to 30% due to more intensive heating.
The time reduction affects the following programmes:
Auto: Time reduction up to 25 %
Eco: Time reduction up to 58 %
Energy Save
*
Water and energy consumption can be reduced with
the Energy Save"function. The running time is
extended for optimum cleaning and drying results.
Half load
*
If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses,
cups, plates), you can switch to “half load”. This will
save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put
a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than
for a full load.
Hygiene
*
The temperature is increased during the rinsing
process. This increases the hygiene status. This
additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping
boards and baby bottles.
IntensiveZone
*
Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots
and pans in the lower basket together with normally
soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure
in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing
temperature is increased slightly.
Extra drying
*
An increased temperature during the final rinse and an
extended drying phase mean that even plastic parts dry
well. There is a slight increase in the energy
consumption.
Washing the dishes
Programme data
The programme data (consumption values) can be
found in the summary of instructions. They refer to
normal conditions and the water hardness set value
. Different influencing factors such as water
temperature or line pressure may result in deviations.
Aqua sensor
*
* depending on model
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light
barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing
water.
The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme.
If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can
be transferred to the next rinse bath and water
consumption can be reduced by 3–6 litres. If the
turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced
with fresh water. In the automatic programmes the
temperature and running time can also be adjusted
to the degree of soiling.
Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith-container. Zeolith is a
mineral which can store moisture and heat energy and
release them again.
During the washing step this heat energy is used to dry
the mineral and heat up the rinsing water.
During the drying phase moisture from the washing
compartment is stored in the mineral and heat energy
is released.
This released heat energy is blown into the washing
compartment with dry air. This accelerates and
improves drying.
These processes therefore save a great deal of energy.
Warning
Please ensure that the intake opening 25 is not
obstructed and do not place any temperature-sensitive
utensils in the lower basket at the rear right side above
the blow opening 26 .
Do not touch the blow opening 26 . The blow opening
becomes hot and, furthermore, any damage will result
in a callout by customer service.

Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine
will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents
problems.
Overall condition of the machine
Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the
appliance without utensils in the programme with the
highest rinsing temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance
cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with
dishwashers.
Regularly clean door seal with a damp cloth.
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 fascia
with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid
are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough
surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch
the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid
using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly
several times before using for the first time.
Warning
Never use other chlorinated household detergents!
Health hazard!
Salt and rinse-aid
Check the refill indicators 5and 6. If required,
refill salt and/or rinse-aid.
Filters
The filters 29 keep large foreign objects in the rinsing
water away from the pump. These foreign objects may
occasionally block the filters.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine
filter and a microfilter.
After each washing cycle check the filters for
residue.
Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated and take out
filter system.
Remove any residue and clean filters under running
water.
Re-install filter system in reverse sequence and
ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other
after closing the filter system.
Spray arms
Limescale and contaminants in the rinsing water may
block nozzles and bearings on the spray arms 23 and
27 .
Check outlet nozzles on the spray arms for
blockages.
Unscrew the upper spray arm 23 .
Remove the lower spray arm 27 upwards.
Clean spray arms under running water.
Re-engage or screw on spray arms.

16
Waste water pump
Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained
by the filters may block the waste water pump. The
rinsing water is then not pumped out and covers the
filter. In this case:
First disconnect the appliance from the power
supply.
Remove the filters 29 .
Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
Using a spoon, prise off pump cover (as illustrated)
until it clicks, then grip the cover by the lug and first
pull it upwards until it resists and then pull it out
forwards.
Check inner compartment and remove any foreign
objects.
Place cover in the original position, press down and
engage.
Install filters.
