OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of ATAG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you
aware of the following safety information:
Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation
• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.
• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage,
please contact your supplier.
• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure that the nominal
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.
• For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dishwasher, please read the „Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute
a safety hazard.
Child Safety
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use
of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure
children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow children to play with the dishwasher – there is a risk that children can
shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!).
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even
cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions
for cleaners and detergents.
• The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are
still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns!
• When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off
and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door
no longer shuts.
Operating Instructions
6
General Safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for
the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer
service or your dealer.
• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water
inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or
plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely
accessible.
• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead,
the cable (obtainable from ATAG customer service) must be replaced
by a service engineer authorised by ATAG.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the
plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for
safety reasons.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not
being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping
over the open door and hurting themselves.
• Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid
in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing
downwards.
Correct Use
• Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is
used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damage caused.
• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their
products in household dishwashers.
• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion!
• The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against damage due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following
preconditions must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is
switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
– Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is
not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday.
Operating Instructions
7
• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently
wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material
– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of old appliances
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the
costs, dispose of it for you.
2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing
• Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot
water is not electrically heated.
• Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.
• When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount
of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economical to always wash with a full load.
• Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes.
• Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of
the respective product.

Prior to using for the first time
Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the dish
racks are secured for transport. Then perform the following steps:
0 1. Adjust the water softener
2. Fill with Special Salt for the Water Softener
3. Fill with Rinse Aid
3
Special salt and rinse aid must not be added if you use 3-in-1 detergent
tablets.
Water softener
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
dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water
with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and harder is softened with the
aid of special salt.
3
Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness and
hardness range of the water in your area.
The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness
switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control
panel.

Special salt for the water softener
3
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in
your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to
use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt sub-
stitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, the
special salt is to be put into the salt supply container.
– In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water
hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from
the detergent container only.
1
Use only special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply
container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) or detergent.
This would destroy the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of special salt in your hand.
Setting the amount of special salt to be added
3
Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1 function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3in1 function
together with the dishwashing cycle, the inflow of special salt does not
have to be deactivated (see ”3in1 function”).
0 1. Set the water softener manually and electronically to the desired water
hardness:
3
If the water softener is electronically set at “1” for the purpose of using
detergent that includes special salt, the special salt indicator is deactivated.

Adding special salt
If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, add
the special salt:
– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the indicator for special salt
J is illuminated on the control
panel.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the container opening.
Fill the container with special salt
through the funnel; the capacity of
the container is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg
depending on the grain size. Do not
overfill the salt container with special salt.
3
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs
out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment.
This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the
start of the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special salt will leak into
the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a
rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt. This
will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.
3
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator
J to
extinguish. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption
of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.

Filling with detergent
1
Only use detergent specifically designed for domestic dishwashers.
Fill with detergent:
– Prior to using the dishwasher (do not use with the programme ‘pre
wash’). Detergent is automatically added during the programme.
2
Please observe the instructions with regard to dosage and storage as
detailed on the detergent’s packaging.
The detergent compartment is
located on the inside of the dishwasher door.
0 1. If the lid is closed: press the release
button (1).
The lid opens.
2. Fill the detergent compartment with
detergent. The guidelines serve as a
filling assistance:
“20” equals approximately 20 ml
detergent,
“30” equals approximately 30 ml
detergent.
3. Close the lid and press until it locks
into place.
3
Heavily soiled dishes require additional detergent to be filled in compartment (2). This detergent is used
during the pre wash.
Operating Instructions
23
Use of ‘Combined detergent tablets’.
Important instructions
Detergent tablets which combine the function of detergent,
rinse aid and salt are available.
0 1. Should you use this type of detergent, please check whether the hard-
ness of the tap water is in accordance with the details as stated on the
packaging material and / or whether the product is suitable for use.
2. Should you use this type of detergent the manufacturer’s instructions
are to be observed strictly. The detergent is to be filled in the detergent
compartment, no other compartment should contain detergent. Filling
the detergent at any other location could result in poor cleaning.
3. Please contact the manufacturer of the detergent should the cleaning
and drying results be less than what you are accustomed to and which
result in streaks, milky spots or dried water marks on cutlery and dishes
(glass). (Please check the packaging for details on the address).
Should you decide to return to the use of a standard detergent,
we suggest the following:
• fill the salt compartment as well as the rinse aid compartment;
• adjust the hardness of the water to a maximum level and initiate the
standard dishwashing programme without loading the dishwasher;
• readjust the hardness of the water in accordance with the hardness
of the tap water.

Concentrated detergents
Based on the chemical composition the dishwasher detergents can be
subdivided in two groups:
– conventional alkaline detergents containing caustic substances
– concentrated dishwasher detergents, slightly alkaline and containing
natural enzymes
2
Use of a dishwasher programme on a temperature of 50 °C and whilst
using a concentrated detergent is environmental friendly and extends
the life span of the crockery, for the 50 °C-programmes are specially
matched to the soil dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. A 50 °C-programme combined with a concentrated
detergent can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be
achieved using 65 °C-programmes combined with a standard detergent.
Combined detergents
3
Detergents from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For
this reason some detergents cannot develop their full cleaning power
during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes
with pre wash.
We cannot be held liable in the event complaints are a direct result of
using these products!
Operating Instructions

Selecting the Wash Programme (Programme Table)
Choose the most suitable wash programme with the aid of this table:
1)
Noise levels vary at different stages of the wash programme as at some programme stages the
dishes are washed more energetically so that they will be cleaned more thoroughly.
2)
The consumption figures were determined under standard conditions. They are intended as a guide
only and depend on the loading. For this reason figures may vary in practice.
3)
When the hardness setting is electronically adjusted to 10, the length of the dishwashing cycle may
be slightly longer.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it
is being connected up.
0 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
equipped either with a plastic or with a metal connection nut:
– Tighten plastic hose connection nuts by hand only.
– Metal hose connection nuts must be tightened using an
appropriate tool. Finally, visually check that it is water-tight (ensure
that the tap is not dripping).
3
• In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use
of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional
tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap.
• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE
approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from
your Customer Services.
Lowest permitted water pressure:
1 bar (=10 N/cm

The following section is only applicable to dishwashers that have a
safety valve on the threaded hose fitting for the tap:
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is
next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure
while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during
this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water and the
draining pump in the dishwasher is switched on.
1
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
– The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water
inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in
water.
– If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the
mains plug immediately.
– A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a
specialist or Customer Services.

Leak Prevention System
For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is
equipped with a leak prevention system, the AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the appliance immediately
interrupts the inflow of water and the drain pump is activated. By this
means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in
the appliance is automatically pumped out.
1
The leak prevention system also works when the appliance is switched
off.
Electrical connection
1
In compliance with electric company technical requirements for mains
connections, hard-wired connections to the mains may only be made
by approved electri-cians.
When connecting the appliance, observe the German VDE regulations
and, if applicable, any additional conditions required by your local electricity supplier. Following installation, live parts and live insulated wiring must not be accessible using a finger test in accordance with EN
60335/DIN VDE 0700.
Information on the electrical connection can be found on the rating
plate on the right side of the inner edge of the dishwasher door. If the
appliance has a change-over switch, the additional instructions on the
change-over diagram in the mains connector box must be observed.
Prior to connecting ensure that the mains voltage and current rating at
the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate. The required fuse protection is also to be
found on the 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.
If the appliance is hard-wired to the mains supply, then it must be
safely isolated from the mains within the electrical installation with
switches intended to ensure all-pole(N,L1) disconnection, shall be
directly connected to the supply terminals and shall have a contact
separation (fuses, cut outs, current trips or similar) of at least 3mm in
each pole.
