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.
Water hardness table
Hold down programme button B and switch on the
1
main switch, then
release both buttons. The LED for button B flashes and the
digital display displays the factory setting
.
To change the setting, press programme button
B .
Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by 1; after
, the setting goes back to . Switch off the main switch 1. The chosen setting has now been
stored.
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.
Page 8
en

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
4
on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.
Note
When the control is set to , it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The LOW SALT indicator is switched off. If the control is set between
and , then salt must be
added to the dispenser.
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
4
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.
Page 9

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.

Not suitable for the dishwasher
The following should not be cleaned in the dishwasher:
Wooden cutlery and utensils – these will leach out and become unsightly; even the utilised stickers are not suitable for the temperatures which occur.
Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft utensil and vases, special antique or irretrievable utensils. These ornaments are not dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water. Copper and tin utensils. Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax,
lubricating grease or ink. Absorbent materials such as sponges
and cloths.
Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.
Recommendation:
In future buy utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
Damage to glassware and other dishes
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process chemical composition of detergent water temperature and duration of
dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’ by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a temperature and as short a duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended.

Arranging crockery , glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in such a way that
D
items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down,
D
curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off,
D
they are stacked securely and cannot tip over,
D
they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top basket onto the dishes in the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the top basket.
Cups and glasses
Upper basket
20
* not included with all models
Pots and pans

27
Cutlery
Cutlery should be placed in the dishwasher always unsorted and with the eating surface pointing downwards. The spray jet is then better able to reach the individual parts.
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed accessories and knives on the étagère (some models) or on the knife shelf (available as an accessory).
Folding spikes *
* on applicable models To improve stacking of pots and pans, the
spikes can be folded down.
Page 12
en
12
Shelf *
* not on all models Lean tall glasses and those with long
stems against the shelf – not against other items to be washed.
Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back when not required for use.
Small accessories holder*
* some models Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups,
lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.

Top basket with side levers (Rackmatic)
Pull out the top basket.
To lower the basket, press in succession the two levers on the left and right sides of the basket. Always take hold of the side of the basket on the upper edge, otherwise the basket will not drop smoothly (and may damage the utensils).
To raise the basket, take hold of the basket on the upper edge and pull upwards.
Before you re-insert the basket, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not connect to the water circuit.
Baking sheet spray head *
* some models You can clean large baking sheets or
grilles with the baking sheet spray head. To do this, remove the top basket and insert the spray head as illustrated in the diagram.
To ensure that the spray jet can reach all parts, arrange the baking sheets as illustrated (max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles).
Note
Never operate the dishwasher without the top basket or baking sheet spray head!

Detergents
Information about detergents
You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have been specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal washing-up liquid!)
Nowadays there are three types of dishwasher detergent available:
1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,
3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.
When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser.
Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or plastic items become discoloured.
This can be resolved by:
D
selecting a higher temperature programme, or
D
increasing the amount of detergent, or
D
using a detergent that contains chlorine.
Check the label on the detergent packaging to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware.
If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the customer advice departments of the various detergent manufacturers.
Detergent compartment with measuring marks
The side of the detergent compartment is marked with lines to help you determine how much powder to add. The capacity of the detergent container is 15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to the middle line. When the compartment is full it contains 40 ml.
If the detergent dispenser 30 is still closed, press the lock
28 to open the
detergent dispenser.
Adding detergent
Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent. Please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage.
Important
Due to the different solvency properties of the detergent tablets supplied by various manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of the detergent may not be fully utilised by short programmes. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.
When you select the INTENSIVE programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml of detergent onto the inside surface of the door.
Page 15
en
15
Reduce costs!
If you are using the upper rack only, or if your dishes are only moderately dirty, it will normally suffice to employ a reduced amount of detergent than otherwise recommended.
Close the lid on the detergent compartment. Press down the lid (1) until it clicks shut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form, read the manufacturer’s recommendations on the packaging in order to determine where the tablets should be placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in cutlery basket, detergent compartment, etc.). Make sure that the lid on the detergent compartment is closed, even if you are using tablets.
auto 3in1
The use of so-called combined detergent products may make the use of rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary.
There are currently several types of combined detergent products available.
3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid and salt function.
2in1: They contain detergent and rinse aid or salt function.
>>> Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you are using!
Always follow the operating instructions or the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automatically adjusted in order to obtain the best possible rinsing and drying result.
Observe the following important information if using combined cleaning products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to a water hardness of 21_ dH (37_ fH, 26_ Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water hardness is above 21_ dH (37_ fH, 26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt dispenser with salt 24 and select setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent manufacturer, especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end of the programme.
limescale forms.
Page 16
en
16
Note
Optimum rinsing and drying results can be obtained by using standard detergents in conjunction with separate application of salt and rinse aid.
Observance of the operating instructions or information on the packaging of the combined detergents determines their effectiveness.
Note
Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs correctly when 3in1 products are used.
If the rinse aid refill indicator

Washing dishes
Reduce costs!
If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting a programme that operates at the next lowest temperature will usually suffice.
Programme data
The programme specifications can be found in the summary of instructions. Programme specifications refer to normal conditions. Greater deviations may occur due to:
different amounts of dishes temperature of mains water supply pressure of mains water supply ambient temperature fluctuations in mains voltage machine-related factors (e.g.
temperature, water volume, ...).
Energy and water consumption is reduced by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in the upper basket only.
Water consumption values are based on a water hardness setting of 4.
Aqua sensor *
* on applicable models The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring
device which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. A light barrier can detect dissolved food remnants in the water, e.g. egg, fat and oats.
The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. When the Aqua sensor is active, ”clean” rinsing water may be transferred into the next rinsing bath and/or the temperature adjusted. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In this way the water consumption is reduced by approx. 4 litres for utensils which are ”less” dirty.
Switching the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap. Set main switch 1 to ON. Indicators light up according to the last
programme that was selected. This same programme will run again if no other programme button
6
is
pressed The numerical display 8 shows the

Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems. Therefore you should occasionally have a careful look inside your dishwasher.
Overall condition of the machine
Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent, start the appliance without utensils in the programme which has the highest wash temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove deposits.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and panel with a damp cloth; water and a little washing-up liquid will suffice. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
Attention!
Never use other chlorinated household detergents! Health hazard!
Special dishwasher salt
Check the LOW SALT indicator 4. Top up with salt, if required.
Rinse-aid
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator lights up on the control panel
5
,
refill with rinse aid.
Filters
The filters
25 prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside the pump. This residue can occasionally clog up the filters.
The filter system consists of a filter cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on the model, a microfilter (*).
Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used.
By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
Page 22
en
22
Reassembly: Insert the filter system and screw down with the filter cylinder.
Spray arms
Lime and remnants of food in the washing water can block the nozzles in the spray arms
22 and 23 and the arm
mountings .
Inspect the nozzles in the spray arms for blocked holes due to remnants of food.
If necessary, pull the lower arm 23 upwards and lift it off. Unscrew the upper spray arm 22 .

Information
Notes on comparison tests
You will find details of the conditions for the comparison tests on the additional ”Notes on comparison tests” sheet. The consumption values for the relevant programmes are given in the introduction.
General
Built-under and integrated appliances which are subsequently installed as free-standing appliances must be secured to prevent them from falling over, e.g. by screwing them to the wall or by installing them under a continuous worktop which is screwed to the adjoining units.
For Swiss version only: The appliance can be installed without difficulty between wooden and plastic walls in a kitchen range. If the appliance is not connected via a plug, the installation side must feature an all-pole disconnector with a contact gap of at least 3 mm in order to satisfy the relevant safety regulations.

Installation
The dishwasher must be connected by a qualified technician to ensure correct operation. The specifications for supply, drainage and connected load must fulfil the required criteria as stated in the following paragraphs or in the installation instructions.
Install the appliance in the following sequence: – Check the delivery – Install the appliance – Connect the waste water – Connect the fresh water – Connect the power supply
Delivery
Your dishwasher was checked at the factory to ensure that it was in perfect working order. This may have left some small water stains in the dishwasher. These will disappear after the first rinse cycle.
Installation
The required installation dimensions can be found in the installation instructions. Using the height-adjustable feet, adjust the appliance until it is level. Ensure that the appliance is standing firmly.
Waste water connection
See the installation instructions for the required connection steps. If required, attach a siphon with drainage spigot. Using the enclosed parts, connect the waste water hose to the drainage spigot of the siphon. Ensure that the drainage hose is not kinked, crushed or twisted (ensure that there is no sealing cover which prevents the waster water from flowing away!).
Fresh water connection
Using the enclosed parts, connect the fresh water connection to the tap according to the installation instructions. Ensure that the fresh water connection is not kinked, crushed or twisted.
When replacing the appliance, always connect a new water supply hose to the water supply. The old supply hose must not be re-used.
Water pressure:
Minimum 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) – maximum 1 MPa (10 bar). If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.
Flow rate:
Minimum of 10 litres per minute.
Water temperature:
We recommend that you use cold water. If you do use hot water, the temperature should not exceed 60 °C.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance only to 230 V alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. See rating plate for required fusing
31 .
The socket must be attached near the dishwasher and be freely accessible. The connection may be modified by an electrician only.
Use only a residual-current-operated circuit-breaker which features the
symbol. Only this circuit breaker guarantees compliance with the currently valid regulations.

Turn on the tap. Set main switch to ON. Select the B programme. The
programme duration in minutes is shown in the numerical display.
Close the door. Wait for approximately 4 minutes. Terminate the programme by pressing
A and C
simultaneously. The time display changes to .
Close the door. Wait a further minute and then
switch the appliance off. Turn off the tap.
Protection from freezing temperatures
If the appliance is installed in a location where there is a risk of freezing temperatures (e.g. in a holiday home), all water must be completely drained out of the interior (see “Transporting the dishwasher”).
Turn OFF the tap, disconnect the supply hose and allow to drain.
