Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using for the first time

• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and connection”.

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.

• The water in the dishwasher is not for drinking. Risk of chemical
burns.

5

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.

• Never sit or stand on the open door.

• If the dishwasher is located in a room where there may be a frost, re-

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

Prior to using for the first time

If you wish to use 3 in 1 detergent:

3

– 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 O
or 1 (see table).

Setting electronically:

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If the only LED indicator illuminated is one that belongs to a pro-

gramme 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.

9

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.

12

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 1-6. The dosage is pre-set 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.

13

Activating rinse aid inflow when 3in1 function is se­lected

3 If the 3in1 function is not selected, the rinse aid inflow is always acti-

vated.

If the 3in1 function is selected due to the use of 3in1 detergent, the
rinse aid inflow is deactivated. If the dishes then do not dry sufficiently,
you should re-activate 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 pro-

gramme 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.

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 setting:

Indicator for the end of the cycle is lit:

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.
The setting for the rinse aid inflow is now saved.

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
resistant

• 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 ma-

terials

• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specifically marked by the manufacturer as
being dishwasher-safe.

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

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

• Glass can become dull after a large number of
washes.

• 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 another

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