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.

3.2 Loading the salt into the soener
• A. Set the water soener
• B. Pour 500ml of water inside the salt container and then ll with
dishwasher salt
• C. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
• D. Detergent
Important
Always use rened salt, which is intended for the dishwasher. If
you take a dierent kind of salt (in particular table salt), the water
soener is damaged.
• Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remo-
ve the cap from the salt container.
• If you are lling the container for the rst time, ll 2/3 of
its volume with water (around 500ml).
• Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole
and introduce about 2kg of salt. It is normal for a small
amount of water to come out of the salt container.

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.
EN
3.3 Set up the water soener
The water soener has to be set manually. This feature is built in
your device to remove minerals and salt from the water, which
would have a detrimental or adverse eect on the operation of the
appliance. The higher the amount of these particles, the harder the
water is. The soener should be adjusted according to the hardness
of the water in your area of living. Inform yourself at your local wa-
ter authority about these values.
Setting:
• Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
• There is a ring on the container with an arrow
on it (see gure to the side). The ring must be
rotated towards the „+“ sign and rell the con-
tainer with salt.
• Close the cap and the appliance door.
• Turn the appliance on.
• Hold down -button and press -button for
about 5 seconds. The buzzer rings one time and
H4 appears on the screen (standard value).
• To change the value according to the table,
press -button till you have reached it.
• Press to store your setting.

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
indicator „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 acces-
sible, turn the cap counterclockwise, the
cap is thus loosened from the lling ope-
ning (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 un-
til the level indicator is completely black.
• You should not overll the reservoir, it
could cause the selected wash program
for excessive foaming. Wipe o the re-
mains of the rinse aid with a damp cloth.
• Unscrew the cap clockwise back again
until it locks into position (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 ta-
blets 3 in 1, it is necessary to constantly
rell rinse aid into the reservoir.

13
Using the dishwasher
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).
EN

14
Using the dishwasher
• The chamber on the picture (1) is intended for detergent of the main wa-
shing program. In the detergent dispenser only one tablet of detergent
is inserted. If you use powder detergent or liquid detergent, follow the
recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
• The chamber on the gure (2) contains an extra detergent, namely for
each ushing, which has a Vorspülungsfunktion; but this is only an op-
tional extra function. This is only for powder detergent or liquid deter-
gent, 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 operation is started and the tablet / pow-
der / liquid are dosed into the dishwasher.
Intensive detergent
• The use of the program for normal rinsing in conjunction with reducing
a intensive dishwashing liquid contamination and is suitable for your
dishwasher. This dishwashing corresponds to the specic enzymes that
dissolve the dirt particles and are included in the concentrated dishwa-
shing detergents.
• For this reason, when selecting the normal wash cycle using dishwasher
detergent 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 cycles and can thus develop a suiciently eective cleaning power.
• Therefore always choose a longer program, if you use the detergent tab-
lets, to remove all residues during the ushing process.

fragile and smaller dishes pieces, eg of glasses, cups, small plates,
bowls and shallow pans (if they are not heavily soiled) provided.
Your dishwasher has an height-adjustable upper basket, making
the optimum height position of the upper basket, which can be
achieved by the rinsing of pickled crockery.
The height of the upper basket can be achieved by situating the
wheels be set in the other plane of the guide rails.
Long objects should be placed in the cutlery tray to prevent collisi-
ons with the spray arms.
When removing the basket from the guides The basket must be
empty. For easier positioning of pots and Pans, the position of
the upper tray has to be changed.
