Before washing for the
Salt compartment lid
first time
Automatic dosing system
The dishwasher can be connected to an automaticdosing system
for commercial detergent and rinse aid, making day-to-day use
easier and reducing the risk of overdosing. Contact your dishwasher supplier to order this accessory.
The process for connecting and activating an automatic dosing
system is described in section Installation on page 20 and in
section Settings on page 10.
Add commercial detergent and rinse aid suitable for automatic
dosing systems to their respective external compartments in good
time to prevent air getting into the system. Acidic rinse aid is
recommended forhard water (water with ahigh mineral content).
WARNING!
Note that there are risks involved in handling commercial detergent and rinse aid. Protective gloves and goggles must be
worn when handling these products.
Follow the supplier’s safety instructions for the handling and
storage of the detergent and rinse aid.
The water softener
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher
needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water
leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Water hardness is specified using the following scales: the German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water hardness
scale (°fH). A water supply with a water hardness in excess of
6°dH (9°fH) must be softened. This is done automatically with
the aid of the built-in water softener. For the water softener to
function optimally, it must be adjusted to the hardness of the
water supply. If the water hardness exceeds 20°dH (36°fH), we
recommend connecting an external water softener.
Contact the local waterworks, or measure the water hardness
using the supplied test strip, to check the water hardness in your
area. Once you have adjusted the water softener, use detergent
and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
How to use the test strip:
1 Turn on the water tap and let the water run for a minute or so.
2 Fill a glass with cold water.
3 Remove the test strip from its packaging.
4 Dip the test strip in the water for about one second.
5 Wait one minute. Now compare the colours of the squares
with the water hardness table.
°fH°dHTest strip
Fill up the salt
Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener, you
must fill the salt compartment with salt. Use large grain salt or
special dishwasher salt.
WARNING!
Top up the salt just before running a program. To avoid the risk
of rust stains, the dishwasher must be rinsed immediately after
topping up the salt.
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment.
This destroys the water softener!
Do as follows the first time:
1 Unscrew the lid as illustrated.
2 Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of water.
3 Then add salt, a maximum of 1.5 kg, until the compartment is
full.
4 Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on
firmly.
5 Run a program to ensure that any salt in the dishwasher is
rinsed away.
Refill salt indicator
When the salt needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the
display.
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cap and fill the container
with salt. Water is only needed the first time! Wipe clean and
tighten. Run a program to ensure that any salt in the dishwasher
is rinsed away.
NOTE!
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.

Loading the dishwasher
Top up with rinse aid
Add rinse aid to the rinse aid compartment if the dishwasher is
not connected to an automatic dosing system for commercial
rinse aid.
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse
aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear
glasses and spotless dishes. Acidic rinse aid is recommended
for hard water (water with a high mineral content).
1 Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2 Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the level
marked max.
3 Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4 Close the lid firmly.
NOTE!
Commercial rinse aid adapted for automatic dosing systems
should not be used in the dishwasher’s rinse aid dispensing
compartment.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the dishwasher’s rinse aid compartment needs topping
up, the above symbol lights on the display.
NOTE!
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid dosage.
Rinse aid dispensing can be set from 0 (Off) to 5 (High dose).
(Factory settings: 5)
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have water marks.
• Spots or films on the dishes.
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
• If the dishes are streaked.
• Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse aid can
be diluted 50:50 with water.
Economic dishwashing
Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you
save energy. Use the Rinse program to rinse the dishes if there
are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to
become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with
a low temperature.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several
reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others
can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel
rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash.
Use a short program with the lowest possible wash temperature.
Delicate and very fragile items should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Glassware washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures can
gradually develop a grey film that cannot be removed. Wash fine
glassware at a low temperature and with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as
the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the
handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher if marked
dishwasher safe.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However,
good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher,
even if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high temperatures.
Your machine is equipped with a turbo drying function (Turbo
Drying Express™), which improves the drying of plastic objects
and other items.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket, a middle
basket and a lower basket with cutlery basket.

Middle basket
The middle basket's wire basket with spray pipes is suitable for
low objects. The middle basket's utensils basket has space for
ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.
Washing larger items
The two baskets in the middle basket can be removed, or the
entire middle basket can be removed to create more space between the upper and lower baskets if larger items are being
washed.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the
cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Foldable tines
The foldable tines can be folded up or down to make it easier to

Automatic dosing system
The dishwasher can be connected to an automatic dosing system
for commercial detergent and rinse aid, making day-to-day use
easier and reducing the risk of overdosing. Contact your dishwasher supplier to order this accessory.
The process for connecting and activating an automatic dosing
system is described in section Installation on page 20 and in
section Settings on page 10.
WARNING!
Note that there are risks involved in handling commercial detergent and rinse aid. Protective gloves and goggles must be
worn when handling these products.
Follow the supplier’s safety instructions for the handling and
storage of the detergent and rinse aid.
NOTE!

1 Prewash detergent compartment
2 Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid
doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and
also entails greater environmental impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is a
compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. Contact
the detergent manufacturer if you have any questions about the
detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
