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, please do the following:

– First read the section “Using 3in1 detergents”.
– Switch on the dishwasher, go to option 3 IN 1, change value to ON

(see section “ Adjusting an option/setting”); symbol lights up in
the symbol line. As a result

– there is no need to fill up with special salt or rinse aid.
– there is no need to set the water softener.
– there is no need to activate/deactivate the rinse aid inflow.

– Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the

detergent dispenser.

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).

12

Setting electronically:

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If the name of a programme stage is displayed in the display, a dish-

washing cycle is active. First of all you must abort the dishwashing cy­cle:

– Press the RESET button. CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the display.
– Press the OK/START button. This cancels the dishwashing cycle.

2. Go to the WATER HARDNESS setting; see section “Adapting an option/
setting”.

3. Set WATER HARDNESS to the right setting.
If the water softener is set electronically to “1” this switches off the

display of the REFILL SALT message.

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 3in1 detergent, fill up with special salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– If when starting a cycle the message REFILL SALT is displayed.

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 grains, it can take several hours for the

salt to dissolve in the water and for the message REFILL SALT not to be
displayed when starting a dishwashing cycle.

14

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.
– If when starting a dishwashing cycle the message REFILL RINSE AID is

displayed.

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.

15

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 inflow of rinse aid

When the 3 IN 1 option is activated, you do not need to deactivate the
rinse aid inflow.

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If the name of a programme stage is displayed in the display, a dish-

washing cycle is active. First of all you must abort the dishwashing cy­cle:

– Press the RESET button. CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the display.
– Press the OK/START button. This cancels the dishwashing cycle.

2. Go to the RINSE AID setting; see the section “Adapting an option/set­ting”.

3. If required, set the right value.
If the value is ON, the rinse aid inflow is activated; if the value is OFF, it

is deactivated.

16

Setting the acoustic signal:

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 name of a programme stage is displayed in the display, a dish-

washing cycle is active. First of all you must abort the dishwashing cy­cle:

– Press the RESET button. CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the display.
– Press the OK/START button. This cancels the dishwashing cycle.

2. Go to the SOUND VOLUME setting; see the section “Adapting an op­tion/setting”.

3. Set the value for the sound volume.
You can set a value from 0 to 5. At 5 the acoustic signals are very loud,

at 0 no acoustic signals are emitted; in addition the symbol is lit in
the display.

17

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.

18

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 because of the
risk of injury.

Place knives, small spoons and small
forks in the cutlery tray which is in
the upper basket.

Place forks and spoons that do not fit
in the cutlery tray in the cutlery bas­ket.

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

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

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

19

The cutlery basket can be opened
out.

Always make sure that you put your
hand around both parts of the two­part handle when removing it from
the dishwasher.

1. Place the cutlery basket on a table
or work surface.

2. Open out the two-part handle.

3. Remove cutlery.

Pots, Pans, Large Plates

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes
and pans in the lower basket.
(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).

20

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

Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service

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

• 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.

• Lay or hang wine and brandy

glasses in the slots in the cup
racks.

• For glasses with long stems, fold

the glass rack to the right, other­wise fold it away to the left.

21

• The row of spikes on the left of

the upper basket is also in two
parts and can be folded away.
Spikes not folded away: place
glasses, mugs etc. in the upper
basket.
Spikes folded away: More room
for serving dishes.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

Maximum height of dishes in the

Upper basket Lower basket

with upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm

with upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm

3 The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded.

Raising/lowering the upper basket

1. Pull out the upper basket complete-

ly.

2. Raise the upper basket as far as it
will go and then lower it vertically.
The upper basket will latch into the
lower or the upper position.

22

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.

23

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.

Using 3in1 detergents

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

1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Place detergent just in the detergent dispenser.

3 If you use 3 in1 detergent, it may come about because of the different

quality standards in the detergent, that the dishes do not dry suffi­ciently.
If so, 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 want to stop using 3in1 products, please do the following:

• 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.

Installation and connection instructions

1 Safety information for the installation

• Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt

water may run out.

• Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage

caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an ap­pliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your
supplier.

• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose

are damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

• Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof

socket.

• Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be in-

stalled by a trained electrician.

• Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated

voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the sup­ply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be
found on the rating plate.

• Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

• The dishwasher’s cable must only be replaced by the Customer Care

Department or a registered electrician.

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by the

Customer Care Department.

37

Installing the dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to en-

sure that it is stable and level in all directions.

• To compensate for unevenness in

the floor and to match the height
of the appliance to that of sur­rounding units, extend the thread­ed feet using a screwdriver.

• Adjust the rear feet of the appli-

ance using a cordless screwdriver
from the front of the appliance.
(See installation instructions.)

• The drain hose, inlet hose and

mains cable must be laid so that
they are able to move freely within
the plinth area, and so that they
are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.

• The dishwasher must also be screwed tightly to the work surface or to

the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher does
not tip up.

Dishwashers that can be integrated

(see installation template supplied)

3 The door of the appliance can be fitted with a wooden door/cupboard

door with the following dimensions:

38

Width: 591 – 594 mm

Depth: 16 – 24 mm

Height:
(variable)

Weight: max. 8 kg

dependent on – Recess height

– Plinth height
– Adjusting the dishwasher to match the height of

adjoining units
The exact height must be measured at the place of in­stallation from the adjoining units.

Connecting the dishwasher

Connecting to the water supply

• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up
to max. 60°C.

• The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances
or instantaneous water heaters.

Permitted water pressure

Lowest permitted water pressure:
1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa)

Highest permitted water pressure:
10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)

Consult your plumber if the water pres­sure is less than 1 bar.

If the water pressure is greater than 10
bar, a pressure reduction valve must be
used (available from your dealer).

Connecting the inlet hose

1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it

is being connected.
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet
hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted
with either a plastic or a metal nut:

– Only tighten the plastic nut hand tight.
– You must tighten the metal nut using a tool.

Then do a visual check for water tightness (make sure that the tap is
not dripping).

3 • So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of

the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting
a T-branch to the existing tap.

If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following
VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available
from your local dealer.

– Hose kit “WRflex 100” (Code: 911 239 034)
– Hose kit “WRflex 200” (Code: 911 239 035)

39

Water drainage

Drain hose

1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled.

Connecting the drain hose:

– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the ap-

pliance.

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from
your dealer or from our Customer
Care Department. To ensure that
the function of the appliance is not
impeded, the internal diameter of
extension hoses must be 19 mm.

• Extension hoses must not be laid
more than a maximum distance of
3 metres horizontally; the maxi­mum permitted height for the con­nection for the drain hose is then
85 cm.

Sink outlet connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available
sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink outlet connection
must be at least 15 mm.

• The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connection using the
hose clamp supplied.

40

Water drainage if the dishwasher is built-in at high level

If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drain hose connec­tion is less than 30 cm from the lower edge of the appliance, adapter
kit ET 111099520 must be fitted by the Customer Care Department.

Anti-flood system

For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is equipped with a
anti-flood system.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet hose immedi­ately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain
pump is activated. In this way water can neither escape nor overflow.
The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.

Should a fault occur when the appliance is switched on, a buzzing tone
can also be heard.

41

Electrical Connection

measures not be observed.

Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.

To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has
been installed.

Changing a fuse

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of hav­ing to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved
(BS 1363A) fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced
for any reason, proceed as described
