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)
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.

Greener dishwashing
Save energy and water
When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared
to washing the dishes by hand.
Do not rinse under running water
Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption.
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater
environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program (see number
of standard place settings). Use the 1h 65° program with the Speed wash option to rinse the
dishes if there are any unpleasant odours.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program –Eco 55°
This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms
of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU
legislation on ecodesign.
The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible.
The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.
Select option –TotalDry
A shorter dishwashing program and better drying results are achieved if you use the TotalDry option,
which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program
has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in,
the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an
energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot
water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
10

Loading the dishwasher
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot
withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver,
copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Loading affects the results
Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy
and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces, as
well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.
•All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
•Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
•Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important
for plastic items.
•Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery
tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.
The top cutlery tray is comprised of three parts
that can be moved sideways to better
accommodate the dishes.
11

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.
Knife stand
3 positions
Raising and lowering the upper basket
1. Pull out the upper basket.
2. Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it up.
3. If the upper basket is raised while in the top position, it will drop to the bottom position.
Note that both sides of the basket must always be set to the same height.
12

Adjustable plate supports
The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots, bowls and glasses.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes and pots in the lower basket. Cutlery can be placed in the
cutlery holder.
Fit the cutlery holder to achieve maximum loading
capacity. (Found inside the enclosed plastic bag.)
Adjustable plate supports
The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots and bowls.
13

Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
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.
Detergent compartment
The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent.
If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is
used, add a small amount of the detergent to
the compartment for prewash detergent.
Press to open Close the lid
Prewash detergent Main wash detergent
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms
prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these
products carefully.
Activate the TAB setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid.
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or
liquid dishwasher detergent instead.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal detergent together with
separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.
