When using your dishwasher, follow
the basic precautions including the
following:
Hydrogen gas is explosive
Under certain conditions, Hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot-water
system that has not been used for
two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas
is explosive. If the hot-water system
has not been used for such a period,
before using the dishwasher turn on
all hot-water faucets and let the water
ow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable,
do not smoke or use an open ame
during this time.
Warning! Proper use:
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
door or dish basket of the dishwasher.
• Do not touch the heating element during
or immediately aer use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place. Open the door very carefully if the
dishwasher is operating. There is a risk
of water squirting out.
• Do not place any heavy objects or stand
on the door when it is open. The appli-
ance could tip forward.
• When loading items to be washed:
Locate sharp items so that they are not
likely to damage the door seal;
Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries;
• Warning: Knives and other utensils with
sharp points must be loaded in the bas-
ket with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
• When using your dishwasher, you should
prevent plastic items from contacting
with heating element.
• Check that the detergent receptacle
is empty aer completion of the wash
cycle.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked dishwasher safe or the equi-
valent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer‘s recommen-
dations.
• Use only detergent and rinse additives
designed for an automatic dishwasher.
Never use soap, laundry detergent, or
hand washing detergent in your dish-
washer.
• Other means for disconnection from
the supply must be incorporated in the
xed wiring with at least 3mm contact
separation in all poles.
• Keep children away from detergent and
rinse aid, keep children away from the
open door of the dishwasher , there
could still be some detergent le inside.
• Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• This product is not designed for use by
persons (including children) who have
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capacities or persons with no experience
or knowledge, unless they are instruc-
ted and supervised in the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
• Dishwasher detergents are strongly al-
kaline. They can be extremely dangerous
if swallowed.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and
keep children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open.
• The door should not be le in the open
position since this could present a trip-
ping hazard.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its ser-
vice agent or a similarly qualied person
in order to avoid a hazard.

3.3 Set up the water soener
The water soener must be set manually, using the water
hardness dial. The water soener is designed to remove mine-
rals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental
or adverse eect on the operation of the appliance. The higher
the content of these
minerals and salts, the harder the water is. The soener
should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area.
• Open the door and switch on the appliance.
• Press the P-button to get into the control mode for water
soener (60 seconds).
• Navigate to the desired value by pressing the P-button keys
more times.
Important Information
The next relling of salt in a dishwasher relling of 500 ml of wa-
ter in the reservoir of the water soener is not necessary.

If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control panel, you can
judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of the optical level indi-
cator „D“ located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is
full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes,
the size of the dark dot decreases.
3.4 Fill the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,
ensuring thorough rinsing, spot and streak free drying.
• This appliance has been designed for the use of liquid rinse
aids.
• The dosage of the rinse aid is on the inside of the tiltable door,
next to the Chamber of the dosage of dishwasher tablets.
• To make the rinse aid reservoir of accessible, turn the cap
counterclockwise, the cap is thus loosened from the lling
opening (1). Pour slowly the liquid rinse aid (2); the capacity
of the reservoir is about 110 ml
• You should pour in the rinse aid slowly until the level indicator
is completely black.
• You should not overll the reservoir, it could cause the selec-
ted wash program for excessive foaming. Wipe o the remains
of the rinse aid with a damp cloth.
• Unscrew the cap clockwise back again until it locks into po-
sition (3).
• If the control indicator „Rinse aid“ on the control panel on, it is
necessary to ll the detergent reservoir again.
• Important: Even if you use detergent tablets 3 in 1, it is neces-
sary to constantly rell rinse aid into the reservoir.

3.5 Adjusting the rinse aid dispenser
The amount of rinse agent that consumes the dishwasher, also
depends on the water hardness. With the setting of the rinse aid
dosage you should experiment until you nd the optimum setting
that ensures the best results.
• We recommend that the rst ushing adjust the rinse aid dis-
penser at number 4.
• If there are water spots on the dishes or the dish is not dry
enough, move the arrow counter-clockwise and set it to the next
higher number.
• Set the rinse aid dosage to no water stains will last as long a
upward.
• If there are streaks and stripes on the dishes, the setting of the
rinse aid dosage could be too high. This causes foam during the
ush. Move the arrow clockwise to the next lover number.
Dosage of dishwasher tablets
The dosing of the detergent must each time the ushing are lled
(except for the ush mode).
• Open the lid of the detergent container (1) and ll in the deter-
gent (2).

• The chamber on the picture (A) is inten-
ded for detergent of the main washing
program. In the detergent dispenser
only one tablet of detergent is inserted.
If you use powder detergent or liquid de-
tergent, follow the recommendations of
the detergent manufacturer.
• The chamber on the gure (B) contains
an extra detergent, namely for each
ushing, which has a Vorspülungsfunk-
tion; but this is only an optional extra
function. This is only for powder deter-
gent or liquid detergent, not for tablets.
• Close the lid of the detergent container
and on the outside edge make the clip
so that it keeps the lid closed.
• The clip opens aer the rinsing operati-
on is started and the tablet / powder /
liquid are dosed into the dishwasher.
Intensive detergent
• The use of the program for normal rin-
sing in conjunction with reducing a in-
tensive dishwashing liquid contaminati-
on and is suitable for your dishwasher.
This dishwashing corresponds to the
specic enzymes that dissolve the dirt
particles and are included in the con-
centrated dishwashing detergents.
• For this reason, when selecting the nor-
mal wash cycle using dishwasher deter-
gent the same result as „Intensive“ can
be achieved.
Detergent tablets
• The detergent tablets of dierent
brands dissolve at dierent rates. For
this reason some detergent tablets do
not dissolve during the short wash cy-
cles and can thus develop a suiciently
eective cleaning power.
• Therefore always choose a longer pro-
gram, if you use the detergent tablets, to
remove all residues during the ushing
process.
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
• With phosphate and with chlorine
• With phosphate and without chlorine
• Without phosphate and without chlo-
rine
Normally new pulverised detergent is wi-
thout phosphate. Thus the water soener
function of phosphate is not given. In this
case we recommend to ll salt in the salt
container even when
the hardness of water is only 6 °dH. If
detergents without phosphate are used in
the case of hard water oen white spots
appear on dishes and glasses. In this case
please add more detergent to reach bet-
ter results. Detergents without chlorine
do only bleach a little. Strong and colou-
red spots will not be removed completely.
In this case please choose a program with
a higher temperature.

3.7 Loading the Dishwasher Baskets
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and
appearance of baskets and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
Attention before or aer Loading the Dishwasher Baskets
Scrape o any large amounts of leover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under
running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.
2. Curve items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run o.
3. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
Removing the Dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend
that you empty the lower basket rst and then the upper basket.
Loading the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more
delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coee and tea cup and saucers, as well as
plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long
as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes
and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.

Using the dishwasher
Adjusting the Upper Basket
If required, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for
large utensils either in the upper basket or lower basket. The upper basket can be adjusted
for height by putting wheels of dierent height into the rails. Long items, serving cutlery,
salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotati-
on of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back or removed when not be required for
use.
Loading the Lower Basket
We recommend that you place large items which are most diicult to clean in to the lower
basket: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the gure below.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the baskets in order to avoid
blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to ow out.

Using the dishwasher
Damage to Glassware and other Dishes
Possible causes
• Type of glass or manufacturing process. Chemical composition of detergent
• Water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme
Suggested remedy
• Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked dishwasher-proof by the
manufacturer.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as kind of dishes. If necessary, seek further infor-
mation from detergent manufacturers.
• Select a programme with a low temperature.
• To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible
aer the programme has ended.
At the End of the Wash
When the working cycle has nished, the buzzer of dishwasher will ring for 6 times, then
stop. Turn o the appliance using the „Power“ button, shut o the water supply and open
the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage.
They will also dry better.
