12

4 Programme overview
Economy programme
Most efficient programme in terms of water and energy consumption for nor-
mally soiled tableware (declaration programme).
4.2 Additional functions
Energy saving
Reduces the wash temperature during cleaning by 5°C, providing energy sav-
ings of about 10% and gentle washing for glassware.
Partial load
With partial load, the programme is adapted to the smaller load. The quantity
of water is reduced significantly, saving between 1and6l of water.
With the additional «Partial load» function, the programme duration is shortened by
up to 30minutes.
Delayed start
The delayed start allows you to wash during off-peak hours (e.g. at off-peak
electricity rates). A delayed start of between 1 and 24 hours can be set. The
delayed start duration last entered is shown as a suggestion.

5.2 «All in 1» detergent
The «All in 1» setting adapts the programme for use
with detergent with integrated salt and rinse agent
function in an optimal way.
If the or refill indicators illuminate, still refill with regeneration salt or rinse
agent.
▪ products can only be used up to a certain water hardness.
▪The duration of very short programmes is extended because detergent takes
longer to dissolve.
Setting for «All in 1» detergent (see page 14)
5.3 Childproof lock
The childproof lock prevents a programme from be-
ing started accidentally.
When the childproof lock is on, a programme can only be started by pressing two but-
tons simultaneously.
Setting the childproof lock (see page 14)
5.4 Water hardness
The built-in water softener removes limescale from the water, enabling problem-free
cleaning. Automatic regeneration occurs at regular intervals, thus guaranteeing its effect-
iveness.
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic limescale sensor. Configuring the level of
water hardness is therefore not necessary. The appliance automatically starts the regen-
eration process at the right time.
After regeneration, the next programme starts by rinsing out the water softener by pump-
ing water through it and draining simultaneously.
For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use with low water hard-
ness and detergents.
For information on the level of water hardness in your area, visit
www.wasserqualitaet.ch or contact your local water authority.
The unit of water hardness can be set to the French
degree of water hardness (°fH) or the German de-
gree of water hardness (°dH).
Setting the water hardness unit (see page 14)
The water hardness setting can be changed to suit
local conditions.
Setting the water hardness (see page 14)
The water softener is deactivated at level 0‑5 °fH or 0‑3 °dH.

* 99 corresponds to the maximum level of water hardness of 120°fH.
Settings for external ion exchanger (water softener)
The appliance must be set up for a 0-5 °fH level of hardness if:
▪the hardness of the water intake is 40 °fH or above before passing through the ion
exchanger.
Ensure that the water used in the appliance passes through the ion exchanger.
Otherwise no settings have to be made. The appliance automatically adjusts to the
water hardness.
5.5 Rinse agent dosage
The rinse agent dosage is automatically adjusted to
the load level and the water hardness.
If the drying result is unsatisfactory, then the dosage can be switched off manually («Off»
setting) or set to one of 12 levels.
▪If the dishes are still wet or there are water spots, set the dosage to level 6 or higher.
▪If the dishes are streaky, set the dosage to level 3.
Setting the rinse agent dosage (see page 14)
5.6 Drying Plus
The temperature is increased during the drying
phase. This extends the duration of the drying phase.
Setting Drying Plus (see page 14)
17

5 User settings
5.7 Hot water connection
The available hot water is used optimally.
If the water intake is still too cold, a short pre-rinse is carried out. The cleaning phase
with hot water follows. If the additional energy saving function is selected, the water is
heated up further electrically to only a minimum temperature, reducing energy consump-
tion further.
Setting the hot water (see page 14)
5.8 Temperature unit
The unit of temperature can be set to degrees
Celsius [°C] or degrees Fahrenheit [°F].
Changing the unit of temperature (see page 14)
5.9 Automatic door opening
The automatic door opening provides optimum dry-
ing results with low energy consumption.
The appliance door automatically opens slightly during the drying or final drying phases.
The automatic door opening can be switched off, which extends the duration of the pro-
gramme by around 10 minutes.
Setting the automatic door opening (see page 14)
5.10 Factory settings

6 Operation
6 Operation
6.1 Preparing the appliance
Opening the appliance door
▸ Pull the door handle forwards.
–Any programme that is running will be automatically interrup-
ted.
Before using for the first time
▸ Switch the power on.
▸ Turn on the water tap.
▸ Fill the salt reservoir with approximately 1.0l water and 1kg regeneration salt.
For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use with low wa-
ter hardness and detergents.
▸ Wipe away excess salt on the edge of the salt reservoir.
▸ Fill the rinse agent reservoir with rinse agent.
▸ Run the programme without dishes to protect the appliance from corrosion from
any excess salt and to remove factory-related grease deposits.
On initial use, the refill indicator can remain illuminated for several wash cycles.
goes out when the salt concentration in the reservoir is evenly distributed (after
about 10 wash cycles).
6.2 Dishwashing tips
Tableware
Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
▪Handcrafted objects and wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to heat or deter-
gent suds should be cleaned by hand.
▪The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over
time can wear off.
▪Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
▪Objects made of silver, copper and tin have a tendency to discolour, turning brown or
black.
▪Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
▪Depending on the type of glassware and the detergent being used, permanent cloud-
ing may result. Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is
dishwasher safe.
▪Spots tend to form on aluminium. This can affect other items being washed (spots on
porcelain). Aluminium should therefore ideally be washed separately.
▪Tableware with adhesive labels should not be washed in the dishwasher. The adhes-
ive labels can clog up the filter system.
19

6 Operation
General note
▪To prevent damage to glass and water spots, arrange glasses in such a way that they
do not touch.
▪Do not overload the baskets.
▪Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the opening
facing downwards so that the water can drain off.
▪Save energy, water and detergent by loading the appliance to capacity.
▪When washing range hood grease filters use the maximum amount of detergent.
▸ Select the programme.
6.3 Loading the baskets
Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe. Follow the tips and advice in
the 'Dishwashing tips' section.
▸ Remove any coarse or hard pieces of food or foreign objects left on the dishes.
▸ Make sure no toothpicks get into the appliance. Toothpicks can cause the filter sys-
tem to become clogged up.
▸ Dishes, pots and pans with heavily burned-on food debris stuck to them should be
soaked in water first.
▸ After loading the dishes, check that the spray arms can turn freely.
In the following you will find some loading tips to help you get the best results from your
appliance.
6.4 Loading tips for the upper basket
▸ Pull the upper basket out as far as it will go and load. Arrange smaller items such as
saucers, glasses, cups and dishes.
▸ If using the fold-down racks 1, stagger the items so that the water can reach the dirty
surfaces better.
▸ Rest glasses on the adjustable glass holder 2.
