Safety instructions

Delivery

Check the packaging and dishwasher immediately for damage caused in transit. Do not switch on a damaged appliance, but contact your supplier.

Please dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner.

Do not let children play with packaging and its parts. There is a risk of suffocation from collapsible boxes and film.

Children or people whose physical, sensory or mental abilities prevent them from using the appliance safely must not use this appliance without supervision or instruction

by a responsible person.

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.

Do not add any solvents to the washing chamber. Danger of explosion!

Open the door carefully when the programme is still running. There is a risk of hot water spraying out of the appliance.

Water softening system

To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.

Tap water above 7° dH (from set value

:‹‚) must be softened. The water is softened with salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.

The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).

Setting

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from :‹‹ to :‹ˆ.

Salt is not required at the set value :‹‹.

Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.

Set value can be found in the water hardness table.

Close the door.

Switch on ON/OFF switch (.

Press and hold down the START button 8.

Rotate programme selector 0 until :... is indicated on the digital display @.

Release button.

The factory set value :‹… is lit on the digital display @.

To change the setting:

Rotate programme selector 0 until

the required value is indicated on the digital display @.

Press START button 8. The set value is saved.

Special salt

Using special salt

Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.

Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 12.

Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).

Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out.

As soon as the salt refill indicator ` on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.

*

* depending on model

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.

en

Switching off salt refill indicator/ water softening system

If the salt refill indicator ` is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.

Proceed as described under “Adjusting

the water softening system” and set the value to :‹‹.

The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

Ã=Warnings

Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.

To prevent corrosion, always refill with salt immediately before switching on the appliance.

Rinse aid

As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator X is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1 – 2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.

The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.

Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.

Open the dispenser 1J by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover.

Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.

MAX

Close cover until it clicks shut.

To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.

Setting amount of rinse aid

The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set from §:‹‹ to §:‹‡.

Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.
