Safety instructions

Delivery

Immediately check the packaging and dishwasher for any damage which may have been caused in transit. Do not use a damaged appliance, but consult your supplier.

Please dispose of packaging material properly:

The corrugated cardboard consists mainly of waste paper.

The polystyrene moulded parts have been foamed without any CFCs.

The polyethylene film (PE) consists partly of secondary raw material.

The wooden frames (if fitted) are made of residual wood and are untreated.

The hoops (if fitted) consist of polypropylene (PP).

Installation

Install and connect the appliance according to the installation and assembly instructions.

The dishwasher must NOT be connected to the power supply during installation.

Ensure that the protective conductor system of the domestic electricity supply has been installed correctly. Electrical connection conditions must correspond with the specifications on the rating plate of the dishwasher. Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable.

After the appliance has been installed, the mains plug should still be easily accessible.

Not on all models:

The plastic housing on the water input contains an electrically operated valve. The connecting wires are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose and do not immerse the plastic housing in water.

Warning

For safety reasons, if the appliance is not fitted in a recess, thereby making a side wall accessible, the door hinge area should be covered at the side.

(Risk of injury)

Covers are available as optional accessories from customer services or specialist stores.

In daily use

Warning

Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be placed in the baskets either flat or with the points downwards.

Use the dishwasher only in the household and only for its designed purpose, i.e. for washing domestic dishes.

Do not lean or sit on the open door. The appliance could tip.

The water in the appliance is not drinking water.

Do not add any solvents to the washing chamber. Danger of explosion!

Open the door carefully when the programme is still running. Water could spray out of the appliance.

To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by stumbling, open the dishwasher only briefly in order to load and unload the dishwasher.

Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.

Children in the household

Do not let infants play or operate the dishwasher.

Keep cleaning and rinsing agents out of the reach of infants.

Keep infants away from the open dishwasher. It could contain residue of the cleaning agent.

If a fault occurs

Repairs or other work on the dishwasher should only be carried out by a qualified specialist.

The dishwasher must be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work are started. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket or switch off at the fuse box. Grasp the plug to remove it from the socket; do not tug on the cable. Turn the water off at the tap.

When disposing of old appliances

Appliances that have reached the end of their service life should be rendered inoperable in order to exclude the possibility of subsequent accidents. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket, cut through the connecting cable and disable the door lock.

Take the appliance to a designated waste disposal centre.

Warning

Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other positions.

Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the mains wire and set aside. Damage the door lock so that the door can no longer be closed.

You will need to purchase the following before using the dishwasher for the first time:

±special salt for use in dishwashers

±detergent

±rinse-aid

Only use products, which are suitable for dishwashers.

Water softener

In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc.

If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher.

This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.

The water softener, that is the required amount of salt, is set up according to how hard the tap water is.

Setting up the water softener

(see introduction)

Filling the special salt

container

How the salt works

While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water.

The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softening system is then ready for the next load.

This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.

Unscrew the lid on the salt container 24 .

Before you use the dishwasher for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt container.

Use the enclosed salt filler.

Refill with salt (do not use edible salt) until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg). When the salt dispenser is being refilled, water is displaced and drains away. Therefore always refill the salt dispenser immediately before switching on the dishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As a result, the overflowing salt solution will be immediately diluted and rinsed out. Then remove salt residue from the filler area and screw on the dispenser cover, ensuring that it is not fitted askew.

en

The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.

Note

When the control is set to , it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The LOW SALT indicator is switched off. If the control is set between and , then salt must be added to the dispenser.

Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener.

Salt refill indicator

As soon as the salt refill indicator 5 is lit on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle.

en

Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid is used in the rinsing cycle to ensure clear glasses and stain-free utensils.

Open the lid of the rinse-aid dispenser 29 by pressing the button on the rinse-aid lid and lifting up the lid.

Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level indicator turns dark. Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.

rinse±aid control

Note

Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Spilt rinse aid may result in excessive foam formation in the next rinse cycle. Therefore, remove any spilt rinse aid with a cloth.

Convenient rinse-aid filling procedure with half-open door

Open the rinse-aid lid and pull out the hinged filling aid until it locks into position.

Slowly fill with rinse aid but do not overfill.

Close the rinse-aid lid until it clicks shut.

Unsuitable dishes

You should not clean the following items in your dishwasher:

Cutlery and dishes made of wood. They will leach out and become unsightly; the utilised adhesives are also not suitable for the dishwasher temperatures. Delicate décor glasses, craft dishes and vases, special antique or irreplaceable dishes. These décor items are not dishwasher-safe.

Plastic parts, copper and tin dishes sensitive to hot water are not suitable either. Overglazed patterns, aluminium and silver parts tend to become discoloured and fade during the rinsing cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may become cloudy after many rinse cycles. Completely absorbent materials, such as sponges and cloths must not be cleaned in the dishwasher either.

Recommendation:

In future buy only dishes which are identified as dishwasher-safe.

Note

Dishes which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink must not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

en

Damage to glassware and other dishes

Possible causes:

type of glass or manufacturing process chemical composition of detergent water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked 'dishwasher±proof' by the manufacturer.

Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.

Select a programme with as low a temperature and as short a duration as possible.

To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

Place objects in the dishwasher in such a way that

items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down,

curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off,

they are stacked securely and cannot tip over,

they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.

Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the top basket onto the dishes in the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the top basket.

Cups and glasses

Upper basket 20

* on applicable models

Pots and pans

Lower basket 27

Cutlery

Cutlery should be placed in the dishwasher always unsorted and with the eating surface pointing downwards. The spray jet is then better able to reach the individual parts.

To prevent injuries, place long, pointed accessories and knives on the étagère (some models) or on the knife shelf (available as an accessory).

Folding spikes *

* on applicable models

To improve stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down.
