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 3in1 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. 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. 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 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
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.

11

Filling Up with Rinse Aid

Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leav­ing gleaming 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 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.

Activating/Deactivating the Rinse Aid dispenser

If the 3 in1 button is pressed, you do not need to deactivate the rinse
aid dispenser.

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If the only LED indicator illuminated 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.
Two lines are displayed in the multi-function display.

2. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.

In addition to the optical display (e.g. indicating the end of the cycle,
errors) you can also choose to set an acoustic signal.

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If the only LED indicator illuminated 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.
Two lines are displayed in the multi-function display.

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 3.

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.

15

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

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

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

The cutlery basket consists of two
parts that can be taken apart.

1. To separate, push them horizontally
in opposite directions and pull
apart.

2. To put together, do this in reverse.

16

Pots, Pans, Large Plates

Load large and heavily soiled dishes
in the lower basket.

The plate rack running right to left
at the front right-hand side is most
suitable for small flat plates with a
diameter of 170-210 mm.

A serving plate can be placed in
front of the cutlery basket.

To make it easier to load larger dish­es, all rear plate rests in the lower
basket can be folded down.

Folding down the right plate rest
makes a second plate rest that is
particularly suitable for deep plates
or bowls.

1. Lift the two plate racks slightly at
the back and fold them simultane­ously inwards making them cross
over one another.

The left plate rest can be folded
down and the width can be
adjusted.

1. To fold them down, lift the two
plate racks slightly at the back and
fold them inwards making them
cross over one another.

2. To set the width, pull the right-hand
plate rest upwards at the back until
it disengages, then pull it towards
the back out of the front guide.

3. Insert the plate rest in the other guide and press it down at the back
until it snaps in.

17

Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service

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

Adjustable cup racks

• 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.

• The cup racks can also be fixed in

an intermediate position. Lay or
hang glasses with stems in the
slots in the cup racks.

18

Glass holders

For glasses with stems and tall cy­lindrical glasses, fold up the glass
holder. ( Top picture)

To unload or when not needed, fold
the glass holders back to the right.
(Middle picture)

Glasses can also be placed over the
bars pointing up. (Bottom picture)

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 do-

mestic dishwashers.
The detergent compartment is lo-

cated 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
dispenser. The markings indicate the
dosing levels for powder detergents:
“20/30” corresponds 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 additional detergent.
This detergent comes into use during the pre-wash cycle.

21

Concentrated detergents

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

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

detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dish­washing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties
of the enzymes in concentrated 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 during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing
cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tablets.

22

Using 3in1 detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and
salt function.

When the 3in1 function is activated,
– the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser

is prevented.

– If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated.

3 If you want to use 3in1 detergents, check whether these detergents are

suitable for your water hardness. (Follow the manufacturer’s instruc­tions.)

If you want to use 3in1 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 de-

tergent dispenser.

3 As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off when the 3in1

function is activated, it may come about because of the different qual­ity standards in the 3in1 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 3in1 products any more

If you want to stop using 3in1 products, please do the following:

• Deactivate the 3in1 function.

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

• Switch the water softener to the highest setting and perform up to

three normal cycles without loading any dishes.

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

1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how
full the baskets 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.

27

Switching off the dishwasher

If the acoustic signal has been enabled, a continuous tone will sound
for approx. 15 seconds at the end of the dishwashing cycle.

1 Carefully open the door. Hot steam may escape.

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Therefore leave the dishes to cool for
about 15 minutes before removing them. You also get a better drying
result.

1. Press the ON/OFF button. All display indicators will go out.

2. Turn off the water tap.

3 If the dishwasher is not switched off, then the acoustic signal is repeat-

ed after 3 minutes and after 6 minutes.

Removing the Dishes

3 It is normal for the inner door and the dispensers to be damp.

• Empty the lower basket first, then the upper basket. This way you

avoid dripping water from the upper basket onto dishes in the lower
basket.

28

Care and cleaning

Do not use furniture care products or aggressive cleaners.

1

• When necessary, clean the dishwasher’s controls with a soft cloth.

• Occasionally check the internal dispensers, door seal and water inlet

filter (if fitted) for dirt and clean them, if necessary.

Polished chromium steel surfaces

Remove light dirt with a clean, damp, soft cloth – microfibre cloths are
particularly good.

1 When cleaning ensure that you do not go against the direction of the

stainless steel finish (the fine horizontal lines).

No circular movements!

Alulook surfaces

Remove light dirt with a clean, damp, soft cloth – microfibre cloths are
particularly good.
Agents that scratch or scour are not suitable.
If required, use a commercially available cleaner for chrome surfaces.
