Safety instructions
Delivery
Immediately check the packaging and
dishwasher for any damage which may
have been caused in transit. Do not use
a damaged appliance, but consult your
supplier.
Please dispose of packaging material
properly:
D
The corrugated cardboard consists
mainly of waste paper.
D
The polystyrene moulded parts
have been foamed without any
CFCs.
D
The polyethylene film (PE) consists
partly of secondary raw material.
D
The wooden frames (if fitted) are
made of residual wood and are
untreated.
D
The hoops (if fitted) consist of
polypropylene (PP).
Installation
Install and connect the appliance
according to the installation and
assembly instructions.
The dishwasher must NOT be
connected to the power supply during
installation.
Ensure that the protective conductor
system of the domestic electricity
supply has been installed correctly.
Electrical connection conditions must
correspond with the specifications on
the rating plate of the dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is to be installed
in a high-sided unit, ensure that the unit
is attached properly and also at the
rear.
Built-under and built-in appliances
should always be installed under a
continuous work surface which is
attached to the adjacent cupboards, in
order to ensure that the appliance is
entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed,
the mains plug should still be easily
accessible.
Not on all models:
The plastic housing on the water input
contains an electrically operated valve.
The connecting wires are inside the
inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose
and do not immerse the plastic housing
in water.
Warning
For safety reasons, if the appliance is not
fitted in a recess, thereby making a side
wall accessible, the door hinge area
should be covered at the side.
(Risk of injury)
Covers are available as optional
accessories from customer services or
specialist stores.

In daily use
Warning
Knives and other utensils with sharp points
must be placed in the baskets either flat or
with the points downwards.
Use the dishwasher only in the
household and only for its designed
purpose, i.e. for washing domestic
dishes.
Do not lean or sit on the open door.
The appliance could tip.
Please note that free-standing
appliances may tip over if the baskets
are overloaded.
The water in the appliance is not
drinking water.
Do not add any solvents to the washing
chamber. Danger of explosion!
Open the door carefully when the
programme is still running. Water could
spray out of the appliance.
To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by
stumbling, open the dishwasher only
briefly in order to load and unload the
dishwasher.
Read and observe the safety
information and instructions for use on
the packaging for cleaning and rinsing
agents.
Children in the household
Do not let infants play or operate the
dishwasher.
Keep cleaning and rinsing agents out of
the reach of infants. These may cause
chemical burns in the mouth, throat and
eyes or asphyxiation.
Keep infants away from the open
dishwasher. It could contain residue of
the cleaning agent.
If the appliance is installed at eye-level,
ensure when opening and closing the
door that children are not caught or
crushed between the appliance door
and the cupboard door situated below.
If a fault occurs
Repairs or other work on the
dishwasher should only be carried out
by a qualified specialist.
The dishwasher must be disconnected
from the electricity supply before any
repairs or other work are started. Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket or
switch off at the fuse box. Grasp the
plug to remove it from the socket; do
not tug on the cable. Turn the water off
at the tap.
When disposing of old
appliances
Appliances that have reached the end
of their service life should be rendered
inoperable in order to exclude the
possibility of subsequent accidents. Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket,
cut through the connecting cable and
disable the door lock.
Take the appliance to a designated
waste disposal centre.
Warning
Children could get locked in the appliance
(risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other
positions.
Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the
mains wire and set aside. Damage the
door lock so that the door can no longer
be closed.

Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft
water, i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind
on crockery and glasses, etc.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e.
decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt
to the water softener inside the
dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how
hard the tap water is.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the level of hardness of your
tap water. Your local water company or
service agent can help you with this.
Identify setting from the following water
hardness table.
Hold down the programme button B
and switch on the main switch
1
,
then release the buttons.
The display 5 flashes and buttons
A and B illuminate.
(Hardness value 2 was set at the
factory).
To change the setting: Press
programme button
B .
Each depression of the button
increases the set value by one (0–3).
If buttons
A , B and C illuminate,
the maximum hardness value has been
reached.
If the hardness value is now increased
again, the illuminated buttons go out
and the hardness value is set to 0 (no
buttons illuminated).
Switch off the mains switch 1.
The set value is stored in the appliance.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for
regenerating the water softening system.
The overall water consumption per load
can therefore be increased by between 0
and a maximum of 4 litres according to the
water hardness setting.

Filling in the Salt
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment
24 .
Warning
Before switching on the appliance for
the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water
into the salt dispenser.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full
(max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,
water is being displaced and drains off.
Refill with salt always just before switching
on the appliance in order to prevent
corrosion. As a result, any salt solution
which has run over will be immediately
diluted and flushed out.
Then clean the filling area of salt
residues and screw the compartment
lid back on without tilting the lid.
The LOW SALT indicator
5
on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
If the switch is set to ”0”, it is
not necessary to add any salt,
as none is consumed while the
dishwasher is operating. If the
switch is set between ”1” and
”3”, then salt must be added.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator
5
is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.

Adding rinse aid
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses.
Use only rinse aid for domestic
dishwashers.
Open the cover on the rinse-aid
dispenser
29 . To do this, press the
mark (1
) on the cover and
simultaneously lift the cover on the
control plate (2
).
Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just
below the edge of the filler opening.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
To prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove any
rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
Adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid
The amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the
stepless control. The rinse-aid control has
been set to ”4” in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)
are left on the dishes.
