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

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,

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.
