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.
The process for connecting and activating an automatic dosing
system is described in section Installation on page 19 and in
section Settings on page 9.
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.
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.
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 to On or Off.
Activate rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have water marks.
• Spots or films on the dishes.
Deactivate 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.

Safety instructions
• Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed by a qualified professional.
• Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and
electricity.
• An incorrect or flawed installation can resultin higher consumption of energy, water and detergent, which can result in increased costs and poor dishwashing results. In order to minimise noise it is important that you follow the instructions.
• Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There
must always be two people!
• Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test thedishwasher
by running the Rinse program. Check that the dishwasher fills
with water and drains. Check also that none of the connections
leak.
WARNING!
Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!
WARNING!

Suggested machine installations
Steel feet
24 mm
The dishwasher is intended for freestanding installation, but can
also be installed under a worktop. Check that there is an air gap
of 10 mm between the underside of the worktop and the top edge
of the dishwasher, as well as behind the dishwasher when it is
built in.
The cable and hose hole does not need to be larger than 38 mm
in diameter. Increase the cable and hose hole to 50 mm in diameter if the dishwasher is also going to be connected to an automatic dosing system. Make sure that the edges of the cable and
hose hole’s are smooth and will not damage the drainage and
inlet hoses or the power cable.
The interior design around the dishwasher should be adapted
for commercial use to enable evacuation of the hot condensation.
Adjust the height and slide the dishwasher into place
Freestanding
1 Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed
is firm. Adjust the dishwasher'sheight using the foursteel feet
so that the dishwasher is level. The dishwasher may lean no
more than 5 mm.
2 Lock the steel feet with the lock nuts.
4 Check that there is an air gap of 10 mm between the underside
of the worktop and the top edge of the dishwasher, as well as
behind the dishwasher.
5 Tighten the lock nuts (lock nut) on the rear feet.
6 Slide the dishwasher into place.
• Pull through the drainage and supply hoses when the machine has been slid into place. Also pull through the hoses
and wiring for the automatic dosing system, if one is connected.
• Check that the hoses have no kinks or sharp bends, and
check that there is nothing that can damage the hoses.
7 Make any final adjustments to the front feet (the dishwasher
may lean no more than 5 mm) and tighten the lock nuts.
8 Once the steel feet are properly adjusted, tighten the two
rubber feet against the floor. The rubber feet now prevent the
machine from tipping over.
3 Once the steel feet are properly adjusted, tighten the two
rubber feet against the floor. The rubber feet now prevent the
machine from tipping over.
Built-in
1 Start by measuring the height from the floor to the bottom
edge of the worktop.
2 Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dish-
washer.

Mount the light shielding film (enclosed documents) above the
touch buttons below the worktop. The purpose of the light
shielding film is to get the touch buttons to function optimally,
and to protect the worktop from moisture.
NOTE!
The surface on which the light shielding film is affixed must be
clean and dry.
Drainage connection
The dishwasher can pump out up to 20 l waste water per minute,
which the drain must have the capacity to receive.
When the drainage hose is routed to a connection nipple on the
sink unit's water trap (see illustration 1), please note that the hose
must be attached at the same height as the underside of the sink
unit, otherwise dishwater from the sink may flow back into the
dishwasher. The drainage hose is threaded onto the cone-shaped
connection pipe on the sink unit's water trap. The cone-shaped
pipe must be cut to an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. For
other connection alternatives, see illustrations 2 and 3.
The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 3 m (the
total length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any
joins and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at
least 14 mm. However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joins.
No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above
the bottom of the dishwasher. The hose must not be routed directly to a floor drain or the like. In such cases, the hose can act as
a siphon and empty the dishwasher.
The hose must always discharge at least 350 mm above the
bottom of the machine.
Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
NOTE!
The hose must be attached at the same height as the underside
of the sink.
Connection to water supply
The dishwasher can be connected to hot and/or cold water. The
dishwasher adjusts automatically to the connected water in order
to achieve the best dishwashing result. To achieve shortest
dishwashing time, the dishwasher should be connected to hot
water.
The water pressure must be between 0,03–1,0 MPa. To achieve
the shortest dishwashing time, the water pressure must be at
least 0,3 MPa.

The supply pipe must be fitted with a stopcock. The stopcock
must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the
dishwasher has to be moved.
Use only the supply hoses supplied with the dishwasher. Do not
re-use old hoses or other loose supply hoses. Do not use hoses
not supplied by the manufacturer.
Once the installation is complete, the stopcock should be opened
for a while to allow the pressure to equalise and to check that all
connections are sealed.
er’s service agent or someone with similar professional qualifications.
NOTE!
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by
inadequate or incorrect electrical installation.
Connection 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.
Connection to an automatic dosing system must be carried out
by the system's supplier or someone with similar professional
qualifications.
Connect the dosing system to the back of the dishwasher. Always
reinstall protective caps and plugs if the dosing system is disconnected.
NOTE!
Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types
of pressure limiting valves may restrict the water supply!
This may cause F12 error code/ Water inlet fault to be displayed.
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the
serial number plate This specification must match the electricity
supply.
During installation, the electrical connection must be carried out
by the manufacturer’s service agent or someone with similar
professional qualifications.
The dishwasher must be connected to residual current devices
as per the relevant safety regulations.
The building’s main power switch must be multi pole and placed
outside the installation area to be easily accessible after installing
the dishwasher. Multi-way sockets, extension leads or timers
must not be used.
Potential equalisation must be carried out if required when the
machine is installed. There is a potential equaliser on the back
of the machine that must be connected using a locking washer
or a ring terminal.
The manufacturer recommends that the dishwasher is connected
as per the existing design upon delivery. In the event of any
change in the electrical cables, terminal sleeves corresponding
to those supplied with the machine should be used. Refer to the
wiring diagram supplied with the machine. In the event of any
change in the electrical cables to 1-phase, H05V5V2-F 3x1.0
