If you wish to use 3 in 1 detergent:
– First read the section “Using 3in1 detergents”.
– Do not fill up with special salt or rinse aid.
If you do not use 3in1 detergent, before using for the first time
1. Set the water softener
2. Fill up with special salt for water softeners
3. Fill up with rinse aid
Setting the water softener
The water softener must be set manually and electronically:
3 To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be
washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The water softener
must be set according to the table to the water hardness in the area where you
live. Your local water company will be able to give you information about the
water hardness in your area.
The dishwasher must be switched off.
Setting manually:
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the
dishwasher.
3. Turn water hardness dial on the left wall of
the dishwasher interior to 1 or 2 (see table).
Setting electronically:
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If the only LED indicator illuminated is one
that belongs to a programme button, this
means that this dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cycle
must be deselected:
Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
The LED indicators of all the programme buttons that can be selected light up.
2. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
Prior to using for the first time10
3. Press function button 1.
The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash.
The LED indicator for the end of the dishwashing cycle will flash simultaneously:
– The number of times that the LED indicator for the end of the dishwashing cy
cle flashes corresponds to the hardness setting.
– This sequence of flashes is repeated several times, with a 3 second pause in
between.
4. Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by 1 degree.
(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).
5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.
The hardness setting is now saved.
If the water softener is set electronically to “1”, this switches off the control in
dicator for special salt.

Adding special salt
To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with special salt. Use only
special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.
If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with special salt:
– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for special salt is illuminated on the control panel.
1. Open the door and remove the lower
basket.
2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by
turning it anticlockwise.
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 special salt; the ca
pacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.01.5
kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do
not overfill the dispenser.
11Prior to using for the first time
3 If water overflows when filling up with special salt, this is completely harmless.
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 special salt.
This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.
3 Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for the salt to
dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for special salt to go out.
Prior to using for the first time12
Filling up with rinse aid
With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get smearfree,
gleaming dishes and clear glasses.
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
and no other liquid detergents.
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.
13Prior to using for the first time
Setting the amount of rinse aid required
3 Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the amount)
or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on glasses and dishes.
(See section “If dishwashing results are not satisfactory”.) The dosage can be set
from 16. The dosage is preset to “4” in the factory.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Press the release button on the rinse aid
compartment.
3. Open the cover.
4. Set the dosage level.
5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place.
6. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it away
with a cloth.
Activating rinse aid inflow when 3in1 function is selected
3 If the 3in1 function is not selected, the rinse aid inflow is always activated.
If the 3in1 function is selected due to the use of 3in1 detergent, the rinse aid in
flow is deactivated. If the dishes then do not dry sufficiently, you should reacti
vate the rinse aid inflow (see also section “Using 3in1 detergents”).
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If the only LED indicator illuminated is one that belongs to a programme button,
this means that this dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cy
cle must be deselected:
Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
The LED indicators of all the programme buttons that can be selected light up.
2. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
3. Press function button 2.
The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash.
The indicator for the end of the dishwashing cycle will display the current set
ting:
Indicator for the end of the cycle is lit: Rinse aid inflow activated when 3in1 on
Indicator for the end of the cycle is not lit:
4. Pressing function button 2 activates and deactivates the rinse aid dispensing
function.
5. When the rinse aid inflow setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.

In daily use14
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 Tefloncoated 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 burnton 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
washersafe.
• 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.
