1 Safety precautions
Read the operating instructions be-
fore using the appliance for the first
time.
1.1 General safety precautions
▪This appliance can be used
by children aged8 and above
and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experi-
ence and/or knowledge,
provided they are supervised
or have been instructed on
the safe use of the appliance
and have understood the haz-
ards involved. Children must
not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user mainten-
ance shall not be undertaken
by children without supervi-
sion.
▪If an appliance is not
equipped with a mains cable
and a plug or other means for
disconnecting from the mains
with a contact opening on
each pole complying with the
conditions of overvoltage cat-
egory III for full isolation, an
isolating device must be in-
corporated into the perman-
ently installed electrical install-
ation in accordance with the
installation regulations.
▪If the mains cable of this ap-
pliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufac-
turer or its Customer Services
or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid hazard.
1.2 Appliance-specific safety
precautions
▪Never use a steam cleaner to
clean the appliance.
▪If the appliance is installed on
a carpeted floor ensure that
the ventilation openings on
the base of the appliance are
not obstructed.
▪Only leave the appliance door
open in the at-rest position.
An open appliance door
poses a danger of tripping or
injury. Do not sit or rest on
the appliance door or use it
as a storage surface.
▪CAUTION: Knives and other
items with sharp points must
be placed with the point
downwards or placed hori-
zontally in the basket.

4 Programme overview
4 Programme overview
4.1 Programme
Programme time, water consumption and energy consumption can be reduced by select-
ing the and additional functions.
Eco programme: The most efficient programme in terms of water and en-
ergy consumption for normally dirty dishes (declaration programme).
Automatic: Optimum cleaning with minimal water and energy consumption.
Not for burnt-on or dried leftovers.
Daily quick: Quick programme for normally soiled daily dishes. Cleans with
high spray pressure.
Sprint: For slightly dirty dishes such as drinks glasses or coffee cups and
saucers. Not suitable for slowly dissolving tabs.
Intensive: For very dirty dishes, particularly with starchy leftovers (mashed
potato, rice etc.).
Silent: Exceptionally quiet programme for washing the dishes at night. Suit-
able for normally soiled dishes.
Party: Quick wash programme for lightly soiled dishes that need to be
cleaned quickly, e.g. at a party or an aperitif. Not suitable for tabs. Only use
detergent in powder or gel form.
Programme start after heat-up phase:
Heating up for 10 mins.
The flashing symbol indicates that one of the following programmes
was selected. The programme selected is shown in the display.
Glass: Gentle programme for glasses.
Fondue/Raclette: For heavy soiling, particularly suitable for burned-on soil-
ing. Only use dishwasher-safe table- and kitchenware. Add detergent to the
pre-rinsing compartment, if necessary.
Hygiene: For items where hygiene requirements are high (e.g. baby bottles,
cutting boards...). Clean the filter system before starting the programme.
Machine care: The appliance and in particular the storage tank are rinsed
hygienically clean. Clean the filter system before starting the programme.
Add dishwasher cleaner as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pre-rinsing: To prevent soiling drying on if intending to start a wash pro-
gramme later.
11

4 Programme overview
4.2 Additional functions
Depending on the user settings, select between two functions.
1 × Energy saving: The wash temperature is reduced by 5 °C, lowering
energy consumption by about 10 %. Gentle on glasses. The pro-
gramme time is shortened slightly.
Appliances with a heat pump: overall energy consumption is reduced
by up to 30 %, however the programme time is extended.
2 × OptiStart: If the «OptiStart» user setting is active, a delayed start is
set. During the delayed start, the dishes are soaked and this im-
proves the cleaning results and reduces the energy consumption.
SteamFinish: During rinsing, steam is generated, which settles on the
glasses and leads to optimum drying results. The programme takes
around 15 minutes longer.
Partial load: For a small load of dishes. The amount of water used is re-
duced by up to 6l and the duration of the programme is shortened by
up to 36minutes. Depending on the programme selected and the elec-
trical connection, the time saving may be less than 36 minutes.
Delayed start: Allows you to wash during off-peak hours (e.g. at off-peak
electricity rates). A delayed start of between 30 minutes and 24hours
can be set.
4.3 EcoManagement
Only active if «EcoManagement» is turned on in the user settings.
EcoManagement provides information on the energy and water consump-
tion of the appliance and supports the sustainable use of energy. The fol-
lowing consumption information can only be retrieved when no pro-
gramme is running:
▪Energy and water consumption of the last programme
▪Total energy and water consumption
▪Average energy and water consumption of the last 25 programmes
The energy and water consumption of a programme is displayed during
programme selection. At the end of a programme, the energy and water
consumption of the last programme run is displayed.
The values can vary according to programme, load, additional functions
and user settings.

5 Operation
5 Operation
5.1 Preparing the appliance
After changing the location of an appliance that has a heat pump, it must be left to
stand in the normal operating final position for around 2 hours before it can be op-
erated again.
▸ Remove any coarse or hard pieces of food or foreign objects (such as toothpicks) left
on the dishes.
▸ Load the baskets. After loading, check that the spray arms can turn freely.
5.2 Dish washing tips
General notes
▪Do not overload the baskets.
▪Dishes, pots and pans with heavily burned-on food debris stuck to them should be
soaked in water first.
▪Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the opening
facing downwards so that the water can drain off.
▪When loading, ensure glasses do not touch so as to prevent damage and water
spots.
▪When cleaning range hood grease filters, select the programme and use the max-
imum amount of detergent.
Dishes
Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
▪Clean wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to damage from heat and detergent
suds by hand.
▪Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
▪The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over
time can wear off.
▪Glassware, depending on the type and the detergent being used, can become cloudy.
Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.
▪Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
▪Do not wash dishes with adhesive labels on them. Adhesive labels can come off and
clog up the filter system.
▪Objects made of silver, copper and tin tend to discolour, turning brown or black.
▪Spots tend to form on aluminium. Wash aluminium separately or by hand.

5 Operation
5.6 Detergent
Choice of detergent
Never use washing-up liquid. Heavy foaming can cause malfunctions. Strictly ob-
serve the dosage instructions printed on the packaging and contact the detergent
manufacturer if you have any questions. Using too high or low a dosage can cause
damage to the appliance.
▸ Only use detergent specially formulated for dishwashers.
Tabs may not dissolve properly at a wash temperature of below 55 °C, affecting the
cleaning performance of the appliance.
NOTE! The «Party» programme is not suitable for the use of tabs! Only use detergent in
powder or gel form!
Combination cleaning products ( tabs/powder)
Continue to use regeneration salt and rinse agent for a good cleaning performance.
▸ Set to
All in 1 ON
in the user settings. The programmes and displays are ad-
apted to suit the detergent.
When the or refill indicators flash, continue to refill with regeneration salt or
rinse agent.
▸ If, after washing and drying, the results are not satisfactory, use conventional cleaning
products. Set to
All in 1 OFF
in the user settings. For complaints, contact the
detergent manufacturer.
Adding the detergent
No detergent must enter the opening of the door lock. This can cause the door
lock to malfunction.
Powder
▸ Open the detergent dispenser by push-
ing the release catch in the direction of
the arrow.
▸ Add the detergent to the detergent com-
partment. For dosage, follow the deter-
gent manufacturer’s instructions.
▸ Observe the «20 and 30 ml» level marks
1.
▸ For heavier soiling, add approximately 1
teaspoon of detergent to the
pre-rinsing compartment 2.
▸ Close the cover.
