Safety precautions
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
䡲This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Before using for the first time
䡲The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work
should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
䡲Fill the salt reservoir of the water softener with approximately 1.5 l water
and 1 kg regeneration salt.
䡲Mix the salt solution well using a wooden spoon.
䡲It is advisable to run a wash programme without any dishes ( pro-
gramme with detergent) in order to remove traces of grease left behind
from the manufacturing process.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please therefore
follow the precautions given in these operating instructions.
For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use
with low water hardness and 3in1 detergents.
The appliance was tested with water before being shipped. There may
therefore still be traces of water left in the appliance.

… Safety precautions
6
Correct use
䡲The appliance is only suitable for washing household dishes and cutlery
with water and standard dishwasher detergent. It is designed for use in the
home and the above-mentioned purpose only. No liability is assumed for
any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any electrical parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Cus-
tomer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incor-
rectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as
well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not work-
ing properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given in the
'Repair service' section. If necessary, please contact Customer Services.
䡲Use original accessories and spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instruc-
tions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on installa-
tion. In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use
the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.

… Safety precautions
7
Children in the home
䡲Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
䡲The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these op-
erating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of
electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children
to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could get locked
inside.
䡲The water in the appliance is not to be used as drinking water. Detergent
residue in the appliance could cause eye or skin irritation! Keep children
away from open appliance.
䡲Detergents can irritate the eyes, mouth and throat and even cause choking!
Keep detergents, regeneration salt and rinse agents out of the reach of
children.
䡲Use the childproof locking facility.

… Safety precautions
8
Note on use
䡲Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or any of the connections are
damaged. Contact Customer Services.
䡲In the event of any defects or faults, contact Customer Services.
䡲If the appliance is not operating properly, turn off the water tap and discon-
nect the appliance from the electricity supply immediately.
䡲Do not sit or lean on the appliance door. After loading or unloading the ap-
pliance, do not leave the appliance door open as it can pose a risk – dan-
ger of tripping and bruising!
䡲Due to risk of injury, place knives and cutlery with sharp edges or points
into the cutlery basket in such a way that they do not stick out (points facing
downwards). Knives and cutlery may also be placed horizontally in the up-
per basket.
䡲Do not lean on the upper basket – risk of accident!
䡲Keep animals away from the appliance.
䡲To protect your dishes and cutlery, read the 'Dishwashing tips' section.
䡲Only use detergent, rinse agent and regeneration salt explicitly recom-
mended for use with your appliance by the manufacturer in the operating
instructions. Follow the directions for use carefully.
䡲Do not use the appliance without any or too little detergent – risk of causing
damage to the appliance.
䡲Do not use washing-up liquid as it can cause excessive foaming, causing
your appliance to malfunction.
䡲Store detergent and regeneration salt in a cool, dry place. Lumpy detergent
can cause problems. Please follow the safety warnings issued by the de-
tergent and rinse agent manufacturers carefully.
Switching off the power to the appliance disables the built-in over-
flow protection system.

… Safety precautions
9
䡲Never fill the rinse agent reservoir or the regeneration salt reservoir with de-
tergent. If this were to happen, however, do not operate the appliance un-
der any circumstances, as this could cause expensive damage to it. Please
contact our service centre, which can be found in the 'Repair service'
section.
䡲After filling the salt reservoir, run the «Pre-rinsing» programme.
䡲Do not wash objects that are soiled with inflammable or corrosive solvent,
paint, wax, chemicals (acids or bases) or iron chippings or that can shed
fibres in the appliance.
䡲Do not use solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine) instead of, or in addition to,
water in the appliance – fire or explosion hazard!
䡲Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme ensure that
there are no foreign objects or pets in the appliance. Foreign objects which
can rust, such as nails and paper clips, can damage parts of the appliance
as well as the dishes.
䡲Avoid opening the appliance door during operation. The dishes and water
may be hot – scalding hazard! The steam that escapes can damage wood
combination fascias. Spectacles can steam up, impairing your vision.
䡲Do not leave the premises for a longer period of time when the appliance
is in operation.
䡲During longer absences, always turn off the water tap before cutting the
power going to the appliance by pulling out the plug or switching off the
fuse. Never pull the plug out of the mains socket by the cable. The mains
socket and the water connection are generally located in the cabinet adja-
cent to the appliance (under the kitchen sink, behind the waste bin).
䡲Do not spray the outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam
cleaner.
䡲From time to time, check the drain hose for tears, kinks, twists, bends, etc.

Additional functions
In addition to the main programmes, two additional functions «Wash upper
basket only» and/or «Delayed start» may be selected.
The «Energy saver» function can only be selected in combination with the
/ / and programmes.
Function/Symbol Use
Energy saver Reduces the wash temperature at the «Cleaning» stage of the pro-
gramme by 5 °C, reducing energy consumption by about 10 % and pro-
viding gentle washing for glassware. Ideal for dishes which are lightly
soiled with low starch or low protein food.
Wash upper
basket only
Uses only the upper spray arm for washing. Load the upper basket only.
Delayed start
The wash programme can be delayed by between one hour and maxi-
mum 24 hours. The previous delayed start time will be shown.
Using the «Energy saver» and «Wash upper basket only» functions
shortens the duration of a programme.

Fondue/Raclette programme
Uses
䡲Removes cheese which tends to stubbornly stick to fondue and raclette
pans and dishes.
䡲Removes food burned on to gratin dishes.
䡲Can be used to clean all other dishes.
Tips for best results
䡲Fondue pans made of enamelled metal or stoneware may be cleaned in
the appliance.
APlace the fondue pan 1facing downwards
so that the water can drain away.
Fondue pans made of earthenware (red-brown colour) should not be
washed in the appliance as these absorb water.
Fondue pans with a large opening in the handle are suitable for wash-
ing in the appliance.

… Programme overview
18
ALoad raclette dishes in the upper
basket as shown in the diagram.
Add about a tablespoon of detergent to the pre-rinsing compartment
in addition to the detergent in the detergent dispenser. This will im-
prove the wash results for heavily burned-on food.
Use an aluminium heat distribution plate between the burner and the
fondue pan to protect the fondue pan and to help prevent food from
burning on.
The appliance cannot, however, remove very heavily burned-on food
completely.

3in1 detergent
The setting adapts the wash programmes for 3in1 detergent in an opti-
mal way.
䡲3in1 products can generally only be used up to a certain water hardness.
When the or refill indicators light up, the appliance needs to be re-
filled with regeneration salt or rinse aid.

gent takes longer to dissolve.
䡲The drying phase is also extended slightly.
