Before doing your first wash
Read through the directions for use
Read through the directions for use before
starting to use your machine, especially the
Safety, Child Safety and Basic Course
sections.
Take care with certain materials
Read the section ‘Fragile Dishes’ before
washing china with unglazed decoration or
other household goods made of plastic,
wood or crystal requiring careful treatment.
Check the door
Check that the door of the dishwasher fits
properly: open the door a little and let it go.
Does it stay exactly where you released it?
If not, you should check the installation
instructions or consult the installer.
Check the water hardness level
Phone your local Water Board to check the
water hardness in your area. This is important
when dispensing dishwasher detergent and
rinse aid.
If you have a machine with a water
softener
Once you know the water hardness, you
can set the water softener, see Settings.
Before you start dishwashing, you must
also fill with salt, see Salt.

Safety
General
Winter storage/Transport
• Read and keep the directions for use!
• Installation of water, drainage and elec-
tricity must be carried out by a qualified
professional.
• Do not use the dishwasher for any pur-
poses other than those stated in these
directions for use.
• Do not load the dishwasher door or the
dishwasher baskets with anything other
than dishes.
• Only use dishwasher detergent!
• Place knives and other sharp objects so
that they cannot cause injury to people or
damage the dishwasher.
Never put dishes containing solvent residue
in the machine due to risk of explosion.
Neither may dishes containing ashes, wax
or lubricating grease be washed in the
dishwasher.
Winter storage/Transport
Store the machine away from frost.
Avoid long journeys in extreme cold. Trans-
port the machine in an upright position or
lying on its back.
Overfill protection
The overfill protector starts pumping out
water and closes off the water intake if the
machine’s water level exceeds the normal
level. If the overfill protector starts up, shut
off the water supply and phone for service.
See ‘Troubleshooting’ on pages 26-28.
Cleaning
Only use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning
around the edge of the door. Do not use a
spray bottle! Water can penetrate into the
lock and come into contact with the elec-
trical components.
Packaging materials
Sort at source in accordance with the re-
commendations of your local authority.
Scrapping
When the time comes for the machine to be
scrapped, it should immediately be ren-
dered unusable. Remove the plug and cut
off the lead as short as possible.
Contact your refuse collection department
or your local authority for information on the
correct way to dispose of the machine!
The machine is manufactured and labelled
for recycling.

Child Safety!
Child-safe button lock
To prevent children starting the machine,
you can activate a button lock.
Proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the dishwasher with the main
switch.
2. Hold in the Temperature and Drying
buttons, and at the same time switch on the
main switch.
The temperature, drying and start symbols
will then flash. Release the Temperature
and Drying buttons.
4. Press the Program selection button. Once
the symbol for Intensive wash lights up, the
button lock has been activated.
5. Press the Start/Stop button to store the
setting.
Once the button lock has been activated,
the Temperature and Drying symbols will
flash when any of the buttons are pressed.
To deactivate the button lock temporarily
when you want to start the machine, press
the Temperature and Drying buttons
simultaneously. The button lock will then
automatically switch on again after 3 min-
utes.
To deactivate the button lock altogether, use
the same procedure as for activation. When
the symbol for Intensive wash goes out, the
button lock has been deactivated.
Advice!
You can read more about this in the Settings
chapter.
Child-safe dishwashing
• Use the knife basket, or knife holder, for
all long/sharp items.
• Always close the door and start the pro-
gram immediately once dishwasher deter-
gent has been added.
• Keep children away from the dishwasher
when it is open. There might be remains of
dishwasher detergent present!
• Do not allow children to use or play with
the dishwasher. Always take particular care
when the door is open.
Protect your children!
- Dishwasher detergent is
corrosive!
Store dishwasher detergent and rinse aid
out of the reach of children! Should dish-
washer detergent be swallowed, immedi-
ately drink one or two glasses of milk or
water. Do not attempt to induce vomiting.
Contact a doctor! Should dishwasher deter-
gent come into contact with the eyes, rinse
(for at least 15 minutes) with copious
amounts of water.

Basic Course
Below are step by step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
Load the baskets correctly!
Your dishwasher is equipped with Super
Cleaning System™. It is therefore not nec-
essary to rinse the dishes before washing.
Simply remove large food particles and de-
bris. Convenient and environmentally friendly!
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and
dishes in the upper basket, wine glasses
should be placed on the shelf with the wavy
edge, and knives in the knife stand if present.
NB!
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards
or downwards!
Place dinner plates, side plates, serving
dishes, saucepans and cutlery (in the cut-
lery basket) in the lower basket. The remov-
able plate insert, which comes with certain
models, can be easily removed to provide
room for large plates, saucepans and pots,
or placed in three alternative positions.
Stand the cutlery with handles downward
and as spread out as possible. Ensure that
spoons are not resting inside each other.
Do not put cutlery made of different mater-
ials, e.g. silver and stainless steel, in the
same compartment (risk of stains).
The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the
middle for small items or narrow shafts,
such as electric whisks.
Place long cutlery and carving knives in the
special knife box (if available) or in the
upper basket.
Check that the spray arms are able to move
freely.
See the section entitled Fragile Items if you
want to wash objects that may be fragile.
Dispensing dishwasher
detergent
Detergent should be dispensed in accordance
with the water’s hardness level.
Follow the dosage instructions on the deter-
gent package. If your machine is fitted with a
water softener, dispense as for soft water.
Pour the dishwasher detergent into the dish-
washer detergent compartment. There is one
compartment for pre-wash and one for main
wash, see Dispenser. Phone the dishwasher
detergent manufacturer if you have any ques-
tions regarding the detergent.
CAUTION!
Protect your children!
- Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!

NB!
Only use dishwasher detergent
Detergent for washing by hand cannot be
used as the build-up of foam impedes the
machine’s performance.
Press the main switch
Select program
Select a program by pressing the program
selector one or more times until the required
program is displayed.
Intensive wash
Use this program to wash very heavily
soiled dishes, saucepans and pots. This
program uses the highest wash temperature
and is consequently the most effective
against dirt.
Strong wash
The Strong Wash program should be used
for heavily soiled dishes, e.g. saucepans,
pots and gratin dishes. If there is still space
in the machine after loading such items, you
can add plates etc.
Normal wash
Used for washing normally soiled dishes
such as plates, serving dishes, cups and
glasses, etc.
For washing normally soiled mixed loads
use the Normal wash program with
normal temperature and
normal drying .
To save more water and energy use
economy temperature and economy drying.
Light wash
If the dishes are not heavily soiled, you can
select Light wash. This program is intended
for glass and china which has just been
used and therefore does not need such a
powerful program.
Fragile dishes
can be washed using the Light wash
program. Deselect the heat dry if you want
to be particularly careful. See also the chap-
ter on Fragile dishes.
Quick wash
Select Quick Wash if the dishes are very
lightly soiled. This program is used for very
lightly soiled glass and china, e.g. coffee
cups.
Rinse & Hold
For rinsing the dishes while waiting for the
machine to be filled.
+ Rinse & Dry
The Rinse & Dry program comprises one
rinse with heat and drying. It is a suitable
program if you are planning to make jam
and want to rinse and warm previously
washed glass jars.
If you wish to use additional options,
continue to point 5. Otherwise you can
now start the machine, see point 6.

Options
Select options
To select an option, press one of the option
buttons
Temperature
With the temperature option button you can
select the wash temperature yourself. You
can vary the temperatures as follows:
Normal Economy
Intensive wash: 75°C 60°C
Strong wash:70°C 55°C
Normal wash: 65°C 55°C
Light wash: 50°C 40°C
Quick wash: 50°C 30°C
The temperature symbol will light up if you
have chosen the normal temperature. This
selection will remain in force until a change
is made.
Delayed start 5h
If you want the machine to start later, press
the Delayed start option button. The clock
symbol on the button lights up. Then press
the Start/Stop button and the machine will
start the program 5 hours later. To cancel
delayed start, hold down the Start/Stop
button for three seconds.
Drying
If you require a better drying result, press
the option button Normal drying and a
symbol in the form of three wavy lines lights.
If you want a program with Economy drying
– press it again and the symbol will go out.
Press Start/Stop and close
the door
The dishwasher will now start. It manages
the entire wash automatically. Ensure that
the door is properly closed or the machine
will not start.
Changing options
If you want to change program after having
started the machine, press the Start/Stop
button for three seconds. Then select a new
program and press the Start/Stop button.
Do you want to load more dishes?
Open the door; the machine stops automati-
cally, put in the dishes, close the door and
the dishwasher will continue from where it
left off.
If the machine is switched off with
the main switch
(or in the event of a power cut) before the
washing program has been completed, the
interrupted program will continue when
power comes back on.
NB!
If the power is switched off, or if the door is
open for more than 2 minutes during drying,
the program is interrupted.
7
After dishwashing
Once the machine has finished, it is only
drawing standing current. Should you wish
to disconnect the current completely, just
switch off at the main switch. Turn off the
water tap if the machine is not to be used for
an extended period, e.g. during holidays.
Advice!
For even quicker drying, allow the door to
stand slightly ajar.

14
Eco-dishwashing
Only perform washes with a full
machine
Waiting to run the wash until the machine is
full saves energy.
Wash at a lower temperature
If the load is only lightly soiled, you can
lower the temperature.
Select program with Economy
drying
To save more energy - use Economy drying.
You will get a better drying result if you
leave the door slightly open after the end of
the program.
Do not rinse before dishwashing
Thanks to the dishwasher’s Super Cleaning
System™ you do not need to rinse the
dishes under running water before loading
them into the machine.
Choose environmentally-friendly
dishwasher detergent
Read environmental declarations on the
package!
Connect to cold water supply
If the machine is connected to the cold
water, the operating time will be longer, as it
takes longer to heat up the water. However,
the extended washing time means that it is
possible to operate a program with a lower
washing temperature and still achieve the
same results.

15
Fragile dishes
A number of household goods are not suit-
able for machine washing. There can be
many reasons for this. Certain materials
cannot withstand intense heat, others can
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.
Fragile decoration
China with decoration on top of the glaze
(the article has a rough feel) should not be
machine washed.
Crystal/ glass
Place the articles so that they do not knock
together during the wash. Use the lowest
possible wash temperature and the shortest
possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique
and very fragile items should not be ma-
chine washed.
Glass which is machine washed at high
temperatures can in time develop a grey
film which cannot be removed. Wash fine
glass at the lowest temperature and with a
low dosage of dishwasher detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless items should not come
into contact with each other as the silver
can discolour.
Cutlery with glued handles
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand
machine washing. In such cases the handles
can come loose.
Wood
Wooden articles should only be machine
washed if they are labelled as dishwasher
proof.
Aluminium
Aluminium can be dulled by machine wash-
ing. However, good quality aluminium
saucepans can be machine washed, al-
though a reduction in lustre should be ex-
pected.
Plastic
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand
the high temperature generated in machine
dishwashing.
To protect plastic articles
Select a program with Economy
temperature and Economy drying.

Cleaning
Cleaning
The dishwasher’s inner container is made of
stainless steel and is kept clean through
normal use. However, if you have calciferous
(hard) water, lime deposits can form in the
dishwasher. In this case, run a normal wash
program with two tablespoons of citric acid in
the dishwasher detergent compartment.
Coarse filter
The coarse filter collects large food par-
ticles which cannot get past the outflow
pump. Lift out and empty the coarse filter as
necessary. Don’t forget to replace it!
Fine filter
The residue collected on the fine filter is
automatically rinsed off with each wash.
The fine filter should still be cleaned once
or twice a year.
1. Remove the fine filter by first turning the
filter’s tubular strainer anti-clockwise and
then lifting the tubular strainer and the
coarse filter straight up.
2. Clean with a dishwashing brush. Ensure
that the edges are properly sealed when
replacing the fine filter.
Drainage pump
The pump can be accessed from the inside
of the machine.
1. Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before you clean the pump.
2. Remove the coarse screen first by
pressing together the two lugs and pulling
the screen upwards.
3. Now loosen the tubular part of the screen
by turning it anticlockwise and removing the
fine screen.
4. Finally remove the small adapter to the
left of the bottom drain.
5. It’s possible, by inserting your finger in
the hole, to turn the pump impeller and
remove any blockage.
6. Refit the adapter and screens.
7. Insert the plug in the wall socket.

19
If you still cannot start the machine and a
humming noise can be heard, then the
overfilling protection has been activated.
• Shutoff the water
• Remove the plug from the wall socket
• Call Service
CAUTION!
Do not forget to replace the adapting piece.
Spray arms
The holes and bearings can occasionally
become clogged.
1. Pull the lower spray arm straight up to
release it.
2. Scrape away the debris with a needle or
similar. The spray arms also have holes on
the underside.
To release the upper spray arm, the upper
basket must be removed.
3. Pull out the basket and turn the basket
stop outwards on both rails (see picture).
The basket can now be removed.
4. Remove the upper spray arm in the same
way as the lower arm and clean it.
Door
When cleaning the edge around the door,
use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly with
a little detergent. Do not use a spray bottle
or similar around the door catch. This is to
ensure that water does not penetrate into
the door catch and come into contact with
the electrical components.
CAUTION!
Do not use a spray bottle or similar around
the door catch.
Tip!
In order to prevent bad odours in the
dishwasher, clean the strips and corners
with a dish brush and low-lather detergent.

20
Rinse aid
Pour in rinse aid
Drying proceeds more quickly if you use
rinse aid.
Machines with indicator on the panel
When the rinse aid has run out and more is
needed, the rinse aid symbol on the panel
lights up*.
To fill with rinse aid:
1. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid
compartment to the right of the dispenser.
This is where you top up and set the
amount of rinse aid to be dispensed in each
wash.
2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the knob
for dosage setting.
Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to
close the cover.
*NB!
After filling there may be a short delay
before the signal light goes out.
Machines with refill indicator
There is a refill indicator in the middle of the
dispenser (see picture). If the refill indicator
is totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid.
However, if the indicator has a more
transparent appearance, you need to top up
with rinse aid (see above).
Open
Closed
Refill indicator
Cover for rinse aid
Open by turning and lifting the cover!
Select dosage
The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water.
However, depending on the water hard-
ness, it may be necessary to change the
dosage.
Open the rinse aid cover . Here you will find
the dispenser’s adjustment dial. Settings 1-6:
the harder the water, the higher the dosage.
When the water hardness exceeds 10-12 odH
you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid
rinse aid) if the machine does not have a water
softening filter. If the machine has a water
softening filter, dispense as for soft water.
Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-up
of foam. If your water is particularly soft, you
can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid, 1
part water).
Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on
the dishes, while too little can result in water
stains.
