Prior to using for the first time
If you wish to use 3 in 1 detergent:
3

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).
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 3 in1 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.
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.

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.
