Before washing for the first time
The water softener
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.
Water hardness is specified using the following scales: The
German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water
hardness scale (°fH). A water supply with a water hardness
in excess of 6°dH (9°fH) must be softened. This is done
automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In
order for the softener to function optimally, it must be
adjusted to the hardness of the water supply.
Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness
in your area.
Adjusting the water softener
Chapter Settings on page 9 describes how to adjust the
water softener.
Fill up the salt
Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener,
you must fill the salt compartment with salt for the water
supply to be softened automatically. Use large grain salt or
special dishwasher salt.
WARNING!
In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing programme
must be started immediately after adding salt.
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt
compartment. This destroys the water softener!
Do as follows the first time:
1Unscrew the lid as illustrated.
2Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of
water.
3Then add salt, a maximum of 1.5 kg, until the
compartment is full.
4Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed
on firmly.
5Run a programme to ensure that any salt in the
dishwasher is rinsed away.
Salt compartment lid
Refill salt indicator
When the salt needs topping up, the above symbol lights
on the display.
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cap and fill the
container with salt. Water is only needed the first time! Wipe
clean and tighten. Run a programme to ensure that any salt
in the dishwasher is rinsed away.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
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.
1Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the
level marked max.
3Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the
compartment.
4Close the lid firmly.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol
lights on the display.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid
dosage. Rinse aid dispensing can be set from 0 (Off) to 5
(High dose). (Factory settings: 5)
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
•If the dishes have water marks.
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
•If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
•If the dishes are streaked.
•Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse
aid can be diluted 50:50 with water.

Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
•Do not start the dishwasher until it is fully loaded to save
energy.
•Do not rinse under running water. Simply scrape off
large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
•Choose an environmentally-friendly detergent. Read the
environmental declaration on the packaging!
•If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a
programme with a low temperature.
•Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto
open option, which automatically opens the dishwasher
door once the programme has ended.
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for
several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong
heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper
basket and a lower basket.
WARNING!
Be careful with fully loaded dishwasher baskets. Push the
baskets in to avoid risking the dishwasher tipping over.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks,
serving cutlery and similar items.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the
upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and
downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass
shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right
(if fitted).
Raising and lowering the upper basket
1Pull out the upper basket.
2Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and
lift it up.
3Repeatedly lift the basket with both hands to change its
position. (The upper basket can be set in three
positions.) When the upper basket is in the highest
position lifting it will return it to the lowest position. Note
that both sides of the basket must always be set to the
same height.
Foldable tines
The foldable tines can be folded up or down to make it easier
to load pots, bowls and glasses. Release the foldable tines
by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their position.
4

Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes and pots in the
lower basket.
Foldable tines
Fold down the foldable tines (plate supports) when
dishwashing pots. Release the foldable tines by pressing
the catch inwards before adjusting their position.
NOTE!
Place the dishes in the machine so that the rinse water
will run off them; this is especially important for plastic.
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is
a compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash.
If powder and liquid dishwasher detergents are used, add
a small amount of the detergent to the prewash
compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you
have questions about the detergent.
1Prewash detergent compartment
2Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent
and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing
and also entails greater environmental impact.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must
not be used as the foam that forms prevents the
dishwasher from operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid.
There is a risk that the detergent will not be released
properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short
programmes (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent instead.
3-in-1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If
anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.
Chapter Settings describes how to activate TAB (3-in-1/
All-in-one detergent). Note that salt must be put in the salt
compartment. If you are not satisfied with the dishwashing
or drying results, deactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/
All-in-one detergent) and top up with salt, detergent and
rinse aid. See Chapter Before washing for the first time.
