Correct use
• The dishwasher is only intended for washing domestic dishes.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted.
• Use only special salt, detergent and rinse aid suitable for domestic
dishwashers.
• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. This could cause an explosion.
Child safety
• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical
appliances. Don’t allow children to use the dishwasher unsupervised.
• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the dishwasher.
Could endanger life!
• Dishwasher detergents can cause chemical burns to the eyes, mouth
and throat. Could endanger life! Comply with the safety instructions
of the dishwasher detergent manufacturer.

4
General safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers.
• When the dishwasher is not being used, switch it off and shut off the
water tap.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the
plug.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not
being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping
over the open door and hurting themselves.

move the connection hose from the tap after each use of the dishwasher.

Refill with special salt
Refill with rinse aid
Prior to 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
3 If you wish to use 3in1 detergent, do the following:
– First read the section “Using 3in1 detergents”.
– Fill the salt container with dishwasher salt.
– Set the softener unit to its lowest setting.
– Deactivate the rinse aid inflow. For dishwashers where the rinse aid
inflow cannot be deactivated, set the rinse aid dosage to “I”.
– Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the
detergent dispenser.
– The drying result may be affected.
8
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 O
or 1 (see table).
Setting electronically:
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
3 If indicators for the programme buttons are lit, a dishwashing cycle is
activated. The cycle must be deactivated:
Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
All additional wash programme button indicators will go out.
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 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 dish-
washing cycle 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 indicator 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 con-
trol panel.
1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.
2. Screw open 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
dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with special 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 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.
11
Filling up with rinse aid
With rinse aid the rinsing water drains away better and so you get
smear-free, 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 broken “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.
