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, un-
less 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 accord-
ance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be car-
ried 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 ( programme with
detergent) in order to remove traces of grease left behind from the manufacturing
process.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stand
ards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the
appliance is however essential to avoid damage and acci
dents. 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 3in1detergents.
The appliance was tested with water before being shipped. There may there-
fore still be traces of water left in the appliance.

…Safety precautions
6
Correct use
䡲The appliance is 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 im-
proper or incorrect use.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-
trical parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services
or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause serious
injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as affect the functioning of
the appliance. If the appliance is not working properly or in case of a repair order,
follow the instructions given in the 'Repair service' section. If necessary, please con-
tact Customer Services.
䡲Use original accessories and spare parts only.
䡲Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appli-
ance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the
appliance, together with the instructions on installation. In this way, the new owner
can inform themselves about how to use the appliance correctly and read the per-
tinent safety precautions.

…Safety precautions
7
Children in the home
䡲Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Dan-
ger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
䡲The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating
instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of electrical appli-
ances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appli-
ance – 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 aids out of the reach of children.
䡲Use the childproof locking facility.

…Safety precautions
8
Use
䡲Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or any of the connections are dam-
aged. 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 disconnect the
appliance from the electricity supply immediately.
䡲Do not sit or lean on the appliance door. After loading or unloading the appliance,
do not leave the appliance door open as it can pose a risk – danger 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 upper 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 aid and regeneration salt explicitly recommended 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 dam-
age to the appliance.
䡲Do not use washing-up liquid as it can cause excessive foaming, causing your ap-
pliance 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 detergent and
rinse aid manufacturers carefully.
Switching off the power to the appliance disables the builtin
overflow protection system.

…Safety precautions
9
䡲Never fill the rinse aid or regeneration salt reservoirs with detergent. If this were to
happen, however, do not operate the appliance under 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-wash» programme.
䡲Do not wash objects that are soiled with or can give off inflammable or corrosive
solvent, paint, wax, chemicals (acids or bases), fibres or iron chippings 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 combina-
tion 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 con-
nection are generally located in the cabinet adjacent 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 programme by 5 °C,
reducing energy consumption by about 10 % and providing gentle washing for glass-
ware. 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 maximum 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 down-
wards 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 washing 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-wash compartment in addition
to the detergent in the detergent dispenser. This will improve 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.
