!Important Safety Instructions
This manual is the basis for handling the
appliance.
Read and follow the instructions described in
it carefully before installing and operating your
dishwasher.
The manufacturer is not responsible for dama-
ge or problems, which have been caused by not
following the instructions, incorrect installation or
improper handling.
Danger from explosive hydrogen gas
• If a hot water system has not been used for two
weeks or more, explosive hydrogen gas may
form under certain conditions.
Therefore, rinse pipes that have not been used
for a long time by letting the water  ow from
each tap for a few minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas.
Since the gas is  ammable, do not smoke or
use an open  ame during this time.

and electronic equipment for reuse and recovery.
To do this, disconnect the mains cable and make the door closing
device unusable.
Recyclable material (Möbius loop)
Separate the relevant components of the product by type from
the residual waste and dispose of them in accordance with local
regulations.
Recyclable material (Triman icon)
Separate the product from residual waste for disposal
according to the accompanying sorting instructions.
• The environment and health are endangered by incorrect disposal.

you help to avoid possible hazards
.
• The materials used are selected carefully and should be recycled
in order to reduce the use of raw materials and waste.

12
Notes on water and energy saving
• Always bear in mind that washing dishes in the dishwasher
following this manual will mostly use less energy and water
than washing them by hand.
• If possible, use the ECO programme.
This is particularly energy-ef cient and environmentally friendly.
• To reduce the environmental impact of wastewater, pay attention
to the composition of your cleaning products. For example, those
labelled „Bio“ or „Eco“ are usually more environmentally friendly
because they contain no or only small amounts of environmentally
harmful active ingredients.
The cleaning effect may be limited as a result.
• To avoid unnecessarily high water and energy consumption,
do not prewash the dishes manually.
This is normally not necessary.
• Note that water and energy can be saved by respecting the maxi-
mum loading capacity indicated in this manual.
Also follow the further instructions for loading the dishwasher in the
corresponding chapter.

2. Using the Dishwasher
2.1 Before  rst use
• When installing the appliance, follow the installation
instructions in this manual.
• Adjust the water softener according to your water hard-
ness.
• Fill the salt container.
• Fill and adjust the rins aid dispenser.
• Fill the detergent dispenser.
Note
If your appliance smells slightly of solvent or similar at
the beginning, this is normal.
With new appliances, plastic and synthetic odours can
occur during the  rst 20 to 30 washing cycles due to
heating. However, these odours will gradually dissipate.
2.2 Water softener
The water softener is designed to remove limescale,
minerals and salts from the water,
to ensure optimum washing results and to prevent lime-
scale residues on dishes, accessories and appliance parts,
as well as harmful or adverse effects on the operation of
the appliance due to deposits resulting from hard water.
For information about the hardness of your water supply,
contact your local water authority.

Filling the salt container
!Attention! Risk of damage!
• Any type of salt not speci cally intended for use in
dishwashers, especially table salt, will damage the
water softener.
Only use rinsing salt intended for dishwashers.
• If any spilled grains of salt or salty water remain on
the bottom of the machine for a long time,
this can lead to corrosion.
To avoid this, do not  ll the softener with salt until
just before starting a wash cycle.
• Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt
container (Position see section Appliance components).
• Place the end of the supplied funnel into the hole and
pour in about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
• Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water.
It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the
salt container.
