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.
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.

The main power switch
Press and hold the main power switch until the display lights
up.
PROGRAMS - Choose programme
Press the Programme selector one or more times until the
desired programme symbol is activated.
Auto wash
The dishwasher can measure how dirty the dishes are and
adjust water consumption and temperature accordingly.
When newly installed, the programme needs to be run five
times before it is fully adapted and can provide the best
results.
Auto wash 1) + SpeedWash + Auto open
An effective programme for daily use for slightly dried
leftovers. (This programme is not intended for burnt food,
such as on oven dishes.)
Intensive wash
Programme for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole
dishes and oven dishes. Also ideal for situations where
demands on hygiene are especially high, such as when
dishwashing baby bottles and cutting boards. If these dishes
do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates
and the like.
Eco wash
This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty
dishes and is the most effective programme in terms of
combined energy and water consumption.
Quick wash
This programme is used for glasses and porcelain that is
slightly dirty, such as coffee cups.
In combination with SpeedWash, a shorter programme is
achieved (15 minutes).
Rinse
Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to
become fully loaded.
EXTRA - Selecting Options
To select an option, press one of the option buttons until
the option is activated. The available options vary between
programmes and some options cannot be combined
(available options glow dimly).
SpeedWash
This option shortens the programme time, but uses more
energy and water.
Auto open
The dishwasher door opens automatically at the end of the
programme, which improves the drying results. (If the
dishwasher is built-in the surrounding furnishings must be
resistant to any condensation.)
NOTE!
The dishwasher door must not be blocked when set to
open automatically. This can disrupt door lock
functionality.
Half load
This option adapts the dishwashing programme to a
half-filled dishwasher, using less energy and water.
Delayed start
When you select Delayed start the dishwasher will start
1-24 hours after you close the door.
1Press the button once to activate Delayed start. Press
the button several times – or hold it in – to set the
desired number of hours.
2Close the door and the dishwasher counts down 1 hour
at a time and starts after the selected delay.
If you want to cancel the Delayed start option, open the door
and press and hold the main power switch until the display
turns off.
Start the dishwasher
Close the door to start the dishwasher. If the main power
switch is on the dishwasher will start automatically when
the door is closed.
TIME - Time remaining
Once you have chosen a programme and options, the time
the programme took when last used is displayed.
Stopping or changing a programme
If you want to change programme after starting the
dishwasher, open the door then press and hold the main
power switch until the display turns off. Add more detergent
if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Then press
the main power switch, choose a new programme and close
the door.
1) This combination (Auto wash + SpeedWash + Auto open) is also known as QuickIntensive (90 minutes).

Do you want to add more dishes?
Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add
the dishes and close the door. After a while, the dishwasher
continues the programme.
How to get the best drying results
•Fully load the dishwasher.
•Place the dishes in the machine so that the rinse water
will run off them; this is especially important for plastic.
•Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage
level.
•Activate the Auto open option.
•Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the
dishwasher.
Once the programme has finished
The dishwasher switches off automatically after the
programme ends. Shut off the water tap after each use.
If the dishwasher is switched off using the
main power switch or during a power cut
If the dishwashing programme was not finished, the
interrupted programme continues when power is restored.
NOTE!
During drying, the programme is interrupted if the power
is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes.
