Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft
water, i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind
on crockery and glasses, etc.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e.
decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt
to the water softener inside the
dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how
hard the tap water is.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the level of hardness of your
tap water. Your local water company or
service agent can help you with this.
Identify setting from the following water
hardness table.
Water hardness table
Hold down programme button Band
switch on the
1
main switch, then
release both buttons.
The LED for button Bflashes and the
digital display displays the factory
setting .
To change the setting,
press programme button B.
Each time the button is pressed, the set
value increases by 1; after , the
setting goes back to .
Switch off the main switch
1
.
The chosen setting has now been
stored.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for
regenerating the water softening system.
The overall water consumption per load
can therefore be increased by between 0
and a maximum of 4 litres according to the
water hardness setting.

en
8
Filling the salt dispenser
Salt must always be filled before the
appliance is switched on, so that excess
salt solution is immediately flushed away
to prevent corrosion.
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment 24 .
Before using the appliance for the first
time, pour about 1 litre of water in the
salt container.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full
(max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,
water is being displaced and drains off.
The LOW SALT indicator
5
on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
When the control is set to , it is not
necessary to fill up with salt as none will
be consumed while the dishwasher is
operating. The LOW SALT indicator is
switched off. If the control is set between
and , then salt must be added to
the dispenser.
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container
for special salt. This would destroy the
water softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator
5
is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.

en
9
Adding rinse aid
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses.
Use only rinse aid for domestic
dishwashers.
Open the cover on the rinse-aid
dispenser 29 . To do this, press the
mark (1 ) on the cover and
simultaneously lift the cover on the
control plate (2 ).
Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just
below the edge of the filler opening.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
To prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove any
rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
Adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid
The amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the
stepless control. The rinse-aid control has
been set to ”4” in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)
are left on the dishes.
29
Rinse aid controller
Rinse-aid refill indicator
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator
lights up on the control panel

,
refill with rinse aid.
If using detergent products with integrated
rinse aid, the rinse-aid refill indicator
can be switched off (see “Switching
the rinse-aid refill indicator off and on”
in the “auto 3in1” chapter).

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.
Cups and glasses

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.
Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers
or knives should be placed on the shelf so
that they do not obstruct the rotation of the
spray arms. The shelf can be folded back
when not required for use.
Small accessories holder*
*some models
Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups,
lids, etc. can be held securely in the small
accessories holder.

13
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 30 is still
closed, press the lock 28 to open the
detergent dispenser.
Adding detergent
Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent.
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
Important
Due to the different solvency properties of
the detergent tablets supplied by various
manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of
the detergent may not be fully utilised by
short programmes. It is recommended to
use washing powder for these
programmes.
When you select the Auto 65_-75_
programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml of
detergent onto the inside surface of the
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.

en

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
24
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.
If the rinse aid refill indicator

Washing dishes
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 programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions.
Programme specifications refer to normal
conditions. Greater deviations may occur
due 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, ...).
Energy and water consumption is reduced
by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in
the upper basket only.
Water consumption values are based on a
water hardness setting of 4.
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.
This same programme will run again if

door. Only open the dishwasher door
when the light point has disappeared.
In the case of built-in dishwashers with
flush front the light point will not be visible.
Remaining running time display
When the appliance has started, the
expected programme running time is
displayed. The programmed running time
is affected by the water temperature, the
number of dishes, as well as the degree
of soiling. If these conditions are changed,
the running time (depending on the
selected programme) can vary greatly.
As the effect is not detected until a
programme is running, the time may
be longer or shorter than expected.

Maintenance and care
Aregular inspection and maintenance of
your machine will help to prevent faults.
This saves time and prevents problems.
Overall condition of the
machine
Check washing chamber for grease
and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with
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!
Salt and rinse aid
Check the refill indicators
5
6
.
If required, top up the salt and/or rinse
aid.
Filters
The filters 25 prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside
the pump. This residue can occasionally
clog up the filters.
The filter system consists of a filter
cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on
the model, a microfilter (*).
Inspect the filters for obstructions every
time the dishwasher has been used.
By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you
can remove the filter system. Remove
any food remnants and clean the filters
under running water.
