Brief instructions
 Filling the salt reservoir 
When filling the salt reservoir only
open the door halfway to ensure
that all the salt gets into the reservoir.
Press the button on the lid of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow
until the flap springs open.
Lift up the funnel.
Dishwasher detergent will
damage the water softener.
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Do not fill the reservoir with water.
Add dishwasher salt only until the
reservoir is full or until water runs out
of the opening.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then close
the flap.
Immediately after filling the salt
reservoir, run the QuickPowerWash
programme with the Short
programme option selected and
without any crockery in the
dishwasher to remove any traces of
salt from the cabinet.

rinse aid reservoir in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
Close the flap firmly. It should click
into place.

prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.

the manufacturer on the packaging.
Press the opening catch on the
detergent dispenser. The flap will

programme required.
The display will change to show the
programme menu.

All available Extras will be shown in the

Switching off
At the end of a programme, the
TimeControl indicator light will go out
with the door shut.
The buzzer might also be sounding.
The programme has finished when
Finished appears in the display and the
door has opened slightly (if applicable).
In the QuickPowerWash programme the
door will not open until a few minutes
after the programme has finished.
The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the
programme.
Switch the dishwasher off using the
 button.
If you have deactivated the
automatic door opening function but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully.
Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.
 Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip more
easily when they are hot. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable
enough to handle before unloading
them.

Cleaning and care
Checking the filters in the
wash cabinet
This dishwasher must not be
used without all the filters in place.
The message Check filters will appear in
the display after every 50 programme
cycles (factory default setting).
Check the condition of the filters
regularly and clean them if necessary.
Then confirm the message with OK.
Cleaning the filters
Switch the dishwasher off.
Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
release the filter combination .
Lift the filter combination out of the
dishwasher . Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well
under running water.
Use a nylon brush if necessary.
Ensure that course soil doesn't
get into the circulation system and
cause a blockage.
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap
must be opened:
Press catches  together in the
direction of the arrows as shown, and
open the filter .
Rinse all the filters under running
water.
Then close the flap so that the catch
engages.
Replace the filter combination so that
it lies flat in the base of the wash
cabinet.
Then turn the handle clockwise until
both arrows point towards each
other. This will lock the filter
combination in place.

Cleaning the spray arms
Particles of food can get stuck in the
spray arm jets and bearings. The spray
arms should therefore be inspected and
cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6
months).
Switch the dishwasher off.
Remove the spray arms as follows:
Take out the cutlery tray (if your
dishwasher is fitted with one).
Push the top spray arm upwards to
engage the inner ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm.
Push the middle spray arm upwards
 to engage the ratchet. Then
unscrew the spray arm .
Remove the lower basket.
Pull the lower spray arm firmly
upwards to remove it.
Use a pointed object to push food
particles into the spray arm jets.
Rinse thoroughly under running
water.
Refit the spray arms and check that
they rotate freely.
