Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
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!
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 & hold 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.
Select Eco
Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load,
such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.
This dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as
little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low
temperature for a long time.
Open the door a little once the program has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the
program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding
cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the
building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's
energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain
materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for severalreasons.
Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged
by dishwashing detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmadeitems, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also
achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware and dishes.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items,
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the
silver can become discoloured.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine ifwashed in a dishwasher. However, good
quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some
of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are notdishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles
may loosen.
Points to consider
• All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water
will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket;
place them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Using the dishwasher
Press to open
Add detergent
1. Prewash detergent compartment
2. Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also
entails greater environmental impact.
The detergent compartment mustbe dry when adding detergent.There
is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If
powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount
of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent
manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not beused
as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating
effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk
that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and
will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less
than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read the
directions for these products carefully.
NOTE!
Optimum washing and drying results are achieved by using normal
dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid.

This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on the
temperature of the water supply, the amount of dishes, the ambient
temperature and other factors.
During the first run of each program, the remaining time displayed can
be slightly misleading, as the dishwasher is estimating the time. When

Safety instructions
• Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed
by a qualified professional.
• Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and
electricity.
• Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There must
always be two people!
• Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by
running the Rinse & hold program. Check that the dishwasher fills
with water and drains. Check also that noneof the connections leak.
WARNING!
Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!
The plug must be disconnected or power to the socket turned off
while the work is carried out!
Transport protection for the door
Do not forget to remove the transport protection for the door when
unpacking the dishwasher.
Placing the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be installed built-in, completely freestanding or
partially built-in.
A. Built-in
The dishwasher is intended for installation under aworktop. The recess
dimensions are illustrated. Holes for wires/cables need not be larger
than 38 mm in diameter. Make sure the edges of such holes are even
to prevent damage to the drainage and inlet hoses and the power
cable.
20
Page 21
If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding cabinetry must be resistant

16 mm
to any condensation from the dishwasher.
B. Freestanding
A freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip brackets. This
comprises two brackets, which are screwed into place as illustrated.
The dishwasher is then pushed in so that the brackets engagethe rear
feet. Now the dishwasher will not topple if pressure is put on the open
door. If the dishwasher is installed completely on its own, side panels
and a worktop must both be fitted. Accessories can be purchased
where you bought the dishwasher.
WARNING!
A completely freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip
brackets.
Adjust the height and slide the dishwasher into place
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 dishwasher.
3. Lean the dishwasher forwards a little and adjust the rear foot with
the screw at the front of the dishwasher. Turn clockwise to lower or
anticlockwise to raise.
4.
5. Adjust the front feet by turning them clockwise to raise and
anticlockwise to lower the dishwasher.
C. Partially built-in
If the dishwasher is located so that one of its sides is visible, a side
panel must be fitted. Accessories can be purchased where you bought
the dishwasher.
Affix the protective film
Attach the protective film (packed in the document bag) to the
underside of the worktop. The protective film is to protect the worktop
from moisture.
NOTE!
The surface to which the protective film is affixed must be clean and
dry.
6. Check that there is an air gap of at least 3 mm between the
underside of the worktop and the top edge of the dishwasher.
7. Slide the dishwasher into place.
• Pull through the drainage and supply hoses when the machine
is slid into place.
• Check that the hoses have no kinks or sharp bends, and check
that there is nothing that can damage the hoses.
8. Make any final adjustments to the feet (the dishwasher may lean
no more than 5 mm) and tighten the lock nuts on the front feet.

Max. 950 mm
This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain
an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be
placed so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottom
of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The
dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent
the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the
building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's
energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain
materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See
Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
NOTE!
The water pressure must be between 0.03 and 1.0 MPa.
Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types of
pressure limiting valves may restrict thewater supply! This may cause
the error message “Water inlet fault” to be displayed.
If the water pressure is higher than 1.0 MPa a pressure limiting valve
must be fitted.
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the
compliance plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.
The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed wall socket.
The electric wall socket must be placed outside of the installation area
to be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher. Do not use an
extension cord!
The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on
the sink unit’s water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal
diameter of at least 14 mm.
The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 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.
Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage
hose has no kinks.
Connection to water supply
Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use
old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water
tap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the
dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the
pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.
Connection to cold water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.

NOTE!
Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified
professional.
