Utensils
Not suitable
Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
Fragile decorative glasses,
hand-crafted and antique utensils.
These decorative items are not
dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash,
wax, lubricating grease or ink.
Absorbent materials such as sponges
and cloths.
Aluminium and silver parts have a
tendency to discolour and fade during the
wash cycle. Even some types of glass
(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy
after many wash cycles.
Recommendation:
In future buy utensils which are identified
as dishwasher-proof.
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 to dishes’. If necessary, seek
further information from detergent
manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a
temperature and as short a duration as
possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme has
ended.
Loading the dishwasher
Remove large food remnants.
It is not necessary to rinse them off
under running water.
When loading the dishwasher, ensure
that
Dall utensils are secure and cannot
fall over.
Dthe openings of all receptacles are
face down.
Dcurved or indented utensils are at
an incline, allowing water to drain.
Dthe two spray arms can rotate freely.
Very small items should not be washed in
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top
basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the top basket.

Cutlery
Cutlery should be placed in the
dishwasher always unsorted and with the
eating surface pointing downwards. The
spray jet is then better able to reach the
individual parts.
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed
accessories and knives on the étagère
(some models) or on the knife shelf
(available as an accessory).
Folding spikes *
*on applicable models
To improve stacking of pots and pans, the
spikes can be folded down.
Shelf *
*not on all models
Lean tall glasses and those with long
stems against the shelf – not against other
items to be washed.
The cup shelf can be inserted into either
position 1 or 2 as shown in diagram.
Note: With the cup shelf in position 2, the
top basket must be locked into the upper
position to prevent interference with each
other.
Long items such as serving utensils,
kitchen knives, etc should be place on the
shelf and not in the cutlery baskets so they
do not obstruct the rotation of the spray
arms. When not in use the shelf can be
fold back.

Detergent
You can use commercially available liquid
or powder proprietary detergents for
dishwashers or TABS (do not use
handwash!).
If phosphate-free detergents are used with
hard tap water, white deposits may be
deposited more easily on utensils and
the container walls. This can be remedied
by adding more detergent.
See detergent packaging to determine
whether a detergent is suitable for silver
parts.
If you have any other questions, we
recommend that you contact the helplines
of the detergent manufacturers.
Detergent dispenser with
dosing aid
The graduated detergent dispenser helps
you pour in the correct amount.
Lower line: 15 ml
Middle line: 25 ml
Full to the brim: 40 ml
If the detergent dispenser 29 is still
closed, press the lock 27 to open the
detergent dispenser.
Adding detergent
Fill the dispenser 29 with detergent.
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
Note
The cleaning tabs from various
manufacturers exhibit differing dissolving
properties, so washing power may not
develop fully during short programmes and
there may be undissolved cleaning agent
residue. It is recommended to use
washing powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some
models) requires one tab only. When using
washing powder, you can apply some
of this cleaning agent to the inside of
the appliance’s door.
Reduce costs!
If your dishes are only moderately dirty,
you may be able to use less detergent
than recommended.
Close the lid on the detergent
compartment.
Press down the lid (1) until it clicks
shut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form,
read the manufacturer’s
recommendations on the packaging in
order to
determine where the tablets should be
placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in
cutlery basket, detergent compartment,
etc.).
Make sure that the lid on the detergent
compartment is closed, even if you are
using tablets.

auto 3in1
The use of so-called combined detergent
products may make the use of rinse aid
and/or salt unnecessary.
There are currently several types of
combined detergent products available.
2in1: They contain detergent and rinse
aid or salt function.
3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid
and salt function.
4in1: They contain a detergent,
rinse-aid, salt function and an additional
glass protection component.
In addition, other combined products with
a comparable effect are offered according
to the manufacturer.
>>> Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you
are using!
Always follow the operating instructions
or the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automatically
adjusted in order to obtain the best
possible rinsing and drying result.
Observe the following important
information if using combined cleaning
products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to
a water hardness of 21_dH (37_fH,
26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water
hardness is above 21_dH (37_fH,
26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt

and select
setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent
manufacturer, especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end
of the programme.
limescale forms.
Note
Optimum rinsing and drying results can be
obtained by using standard detergents in
conjunction with separate application of
salt and rinse aid.
Observance of the operating instructions
or information on the packaging of the
combined detergents determines their
effectiveness.
Note
Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs
correctly when 3in1 products are used.

2Washing dishes
Pr/ogramme selection
The most appropriate programme can be
identified by comparing the type of
crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as the
amount and condition of food remains,
with the details contained in the
programme overview.
The corresponding programme sequence,
duration and consumption details are
shown in the bottom half of the overview.
For example:
For a mixture of various types of crockery
and utensils with plenty of food remains
that are not stuck on fast, use the
Auto programme.
Reduce costs!
If only a small number of dishes have
been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting
a programme that operates at the next
lowest temperature will usually suffice.
Programme data
The stated programme data are based on
standard operating conditions. The values
can vary considerably according to:
different amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g.
temperature, water volume, ...).
Aqua sensor *
* some models
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring
device (light barrier) which measures
the turbidity of the rinsing water.
The Aqua sensor is used according
to the programme. When the Aqua sensor
is active, “clean” rinsing water may be
transferred into the next rinsing bath
and/or the temperature adjusted. If the
turbidity is greater, the water is drained
and is replaced with fresh water. In this
way water consumption can be reduced
by approx. 4 litres.
Switching the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch
1
to ON.
Indicators light up according to the last
programme that was selected.

detergent, start the appliance without
utensils in the programme which has
the highest wash temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/
appliance cleaners which are particularly
suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly wipe the door seal with a
damp cloth.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your
dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable
for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance
and panel with a damp cloth; water and
a little washing-up liquid will suffice.
Do not use sponges with a rough surface
or abrasive detergents, as these could
scratch the surfaces.
Attention!
Never use other chlorinated household
detergents! Health hazard!
Rinse-aid
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator
lights up on the control panel
