Prior to Using for the First Time10

Adding dishwasher Salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with dishwasher salt. Use
only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.

If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with dishwasher salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for dishwasher salt is illuminated on the control

panel.

1. Open the door and remove the lower
basket.

2. Unscrew the lid on the salt dispenser by
turning it anticlockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher for the
first time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dis
penser opening.
Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the
capacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.01.5
kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do
not overfill the dispenser.

3 If water overflows when filling up with dishwasher salt, this is completely harm

less.

5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.

6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with dishwasher
salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.

3 Depending on the size of the salt granules, it can take several hours for the salt

to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for dishwasher salt to go
out.

Filling Up with Rinse Aid

Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leaving gleam
ing dishes and glassware.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel.

Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers.

1. Open the door.
The rinse aid compartment is located on
the inside of the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse aid
compartment.

3. Open the cover.

4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to the bro

ken “max” line;
this corresponds to a volume of approx.
140 ml when full.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth.

Otherwise there will be too much foam
when rinsing.

11Prior to Using for the First Time

13In daily use

In daily use

Loading cutlery and dishes

1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not

be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Tefloncoated dishes and pans tend to
retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as
those made of china and stainless steel.

For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother of pearl handles

• Plastic items that are not heat re
sistant

• Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature

• Dishes or cutlery with glued parts

• Pewter or copper items

• Lead crystal glass

• Steel items that rust

• Wooden boards/platters

• Items made from synthetic materials

• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove the worst of the food residues.

– Soak pans with burnton food residues.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that

water cannot collect in them

– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover one an

other

– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another
– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in the cut

lery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is spe
cifically marked by the manufacturer as being dish
washersafe.

• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently
in the dishwasher.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to dis
colour during washing. Food remains, e.g. egg white,
egg yolk and mustard often cause discoloration and
staining on silver. Therefore always clean food resi
dues from silver immediately, if it is not to be
washed straight after use.

• Glass can become dull after a large number of wash
es.

In daily use14

Loading cutlery

1 Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid

in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket to avoid the risk of injury.
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the

water, you should:

1.Place the grid insert on the cutlery
basket

2.Place forks and spoons in the cutlery
basket's grid insert with their han
dles pointing downwards.

For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.

Pots, Pans, Large Plates

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and
pans in the lower basket.
(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).

To make it easier to load larger dishes, the
two plate racks on the right in the lower
basket can be folded down.

15In daily use

In daily use16

Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service

Load smaller, fragile crockery and long,
sharp cutlery in the upper basket.

• Arrange items of crockery on and under
the folding cup racks so that they are
offset from each other and water can
reach all items.

• The cup racks can be folded up out of the
way for tall crockery items.

• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in
the slots in the cup racks.

Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket

Maximum height of dishes in the

Upper basket Lower basket

with upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm

with upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm

3 The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded.

Raising / Lowering the upper basket

1. Pull out the upper basket completely.

2. Holding the upper basket by the handle,

raise it as far as it will go and then lower it
vertically.
The upper basket will latch into the lower
or the upper position.

17In daily use

In daily use18

Adding Detergent

Detergents remove the dirt from dishes and
cutlery.
The detergent must be added before the
cycle starts.

1 Only use detergent intended for domestic

dishwashers.
The detergent compartment is located on

the inside of the door.

1. If the lid is closed:
Press the release button.
The lid will spring open.

2. Place the detergent in the detergent dis
penser. The markings indicate the dosing
levels for powder detergents: “20/30” cor
responds to approx.
20/30 ml of detergent.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
with regard to dosing and storage.

3. Close the lid and press until it locks into
place.

3 In the case of very heavily soiled dishes, fill

the adjoining compartment (1) with addi
tional detergent. This detergent comes into
use during the prewash cycle.

19In daily use

Concentrated detergents

Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively lowalkaline concen
trated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder form.

2 Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated deter

gents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dishwashing cycles
are specially matched to the dirtdissolving properties of the enzymes in con
centrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50 °C dishwashing cycles in
conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results
that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C cycles.

Detergent tablets

3 Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For

this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power dur
ing short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing cycles with prewash when
using detergent tablets.

In daily use20

Using 3 in 1 detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt func
tion.

When the 3 in 1 function is activated,
– the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser is pre

vented.

– If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated.
– The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer.

3 If you want to use 3 in 1 detergents, check whether these detergents are suita

ble for your water hardness. (Follow manufacturer’s instructions!)
If your water hardness is higher than that recommended by the manufacturer
but you would nevertheless like to use 3 in 1 detergent, proceed as follows:

• With the 3 in 1 function selected, set the water softener one hardness setting

lower than when rinsing without 3 in 1 detergent.

• Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with special salt.
The dishwasher remembers the two different settings of the degree of hardness

for rinsing with and without 3 in 1 function.

If you want to use 3 in 1 products

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

2. Press the 3IN1 button.

The button indicator lights up: 3in1 function is selected.
Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the detergent

dispenser.

3 As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off when the 3 in 1 function is

activated, it may come about because of the different quality standards in the 3
in 1 detergent, that the dishes do not dry sufficiently.
If this happens, proceed as follows (see section “Adding rinse aid”):

• Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with rinse aid.

• Set rinse aid dosage to “2” mechanically.

• Activate rinse aid inflow.

If you do not want to use 3 in 1 products any more

If you want to stop using 3 in 1 products, please do the following:

• Deactivate the 3 in 1 function.

• Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.

• Switch the water softener to the highest setting and perform up to three nor

mal cycles without loading any dishes.

• Then set the water softener to the water hardness in your area.

If you want to use 4 in 1 products

When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti glass corrosion agent
into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1" de
tergents.

1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how full the bas
kets for the dishes are. Variations are therefore possible in practice.

2) When using this cycle the degree of water clouding determines the amount of soiling on the dishes. The
length of the cycle and water and energy consumption can vary greatly – depending upon the load and
how dirty the dishes are. Depending upon the soiling, the temperature of the water will be automatically
adjusted to between 50°C and 65°C.

3) When using this cycle, only load the dishwasher half full.

4) During the final rinse, the temperature is increased to 68° for 10 minutes to sanitize e.g. plastic chopping
boards or jam jars.

less steel cleaning product.

The whistling is not a cause for
concern.

Only wash cutlery, dishes
and pans that are suitable
for dishwasher use.

Decalcify appliance with

• If at the end of the dishwashing cycle there is still detergent left in the deter

gent dispenser, either the spray arm was jammed or the spray arm jets are

blocked with pollutants in the dishwashing water.

You have the option of removing the spray arms from their fixture for clean

ing (see section “Care and Cleaning”).

The dishes do not dry and are not shining.

Installation and connection instructions32

Installation and connection instructions

1 Safety Information for the Installation

• Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt water

may run out.

• Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage caused in

transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an appliance that is dam

aged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier.

• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose are

damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are damaged such

that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

• Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.

• Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage

and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the ap

pliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

• Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This

could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

• The dishwasher’s cable must only be replaced by a Service Force Engineer.

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a Service Force

Engineer.

Installing the Dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it

is stable and level in all directions.

•

To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appli

ance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver.

• Adjust the rear foot of the appliance using a cordless screwdriver from the

front of the appliance (see installation template).

• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to

move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed

when the dishwasher is in position.

• The dishwasher must also be screwed tightly to the work surface or to the ad

joining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher does not tip up.

Dishwashers That Can be Integrated

(see installation template supplied)
Using the installation template supplied, split cupboard doors can be easily in

stalled and firmly fitted.

Connecting the dishwasher

Connecting to the water supply

• The dishwasher can be connected to cold or hot water supplies up to max. 60°C.

• The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or in

stantaneous water heaters.

Permitted water pressure

33Connecting the dishwasher

Lowest permitted water pressure:
0,1 MPa ( = 1 bar = 10 N/cm

Highest permitted water pressure:

1 MPa ( = 10 bar = 100 N/cm

2

)

2

)

Consult your plumber if the water pressure is
less than 0,1 MPa

If the water pressure is greater than
1 MPa, a pressure reduction valve must be used
(available from your dealer).

Connecting the inlet hose

1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being

connected.
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 2281:2000) on the water inlet hose to a
tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic
or a metal nut:
– Only tighten the nut hand tight.
Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make sure that the tap is not drip
ping.)

3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of the dish

washer, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a Tbranch to the
existing tap.

1 WARNING!  Dangerous voltage

(This does apply to dishwashers with safety
valve).
The electrical cable for the safety valve is in
the doublewalled water inlet hose and is
live.
Therefore do not immerse the water inlet
hose or the safety valve in water.

Connecting the dishwasher34

Water drainage

Drain hose

1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled.

Connecting the drain hose:

– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.

– Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the appliance.

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from your lo

cal Service Force Centre. To ensure that the

function of the appliance is not impeded,

the internal diameter of extension hoses

must be 19 mm.

• Extension hoses must not be laid more

than a maximum distance of 4 metres

horizontally; the maximum permitted

height for the connection for the drain

hose is then 85 cm.

Sink outlet connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available sink outlet

types. The outer diameter of the sink outlet connection must be at least

15 mm.

• The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connection using the hose

clamp supplied.

Antiflood system

For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is equipped with a antiflood
system.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet hose immediately in
terrupts the supply of water to the appliance.

Electrical Connection

indicated on the appliance rating plate.

To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been in
stalled.

Changing a fuse
