About data protection:
When your Home Connect dishwasher
is connected for the first time to a WLAN
network, which is connected to the
Internet, your Home Connect
dishwasher transmits the following
categories of data to the Home Connect
server (initial registration):
■ Unique appliance identification
(consisting of appliance codes as
well as the MAC address of the
installed Wi-Fi communication
module).
■ Security certificate of the Wi-Fi
communication module (to ensure a
secure IT connection).
■ The current software and hardware
version of your dishwasher.
■ Status of any previous resetting to
factory settings.

+ Water softening
system / special salt
Wat er soft ening system/special sal t
To ensure good rinsing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
water which is low in lime, otherwise
limescale will be deposited on the
utensils and interior container. Tap
water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must
be softened. The water is softened with
special 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 following water
hardness table).

det er gent
You can use tablets as well as powder
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but
never use washing-up liquid. The
dosage can be individually adjusted
with powder or a liquid detergent
according to the degree of soiling.
Tablets contain an adequately large
amount of active ingredients for all
cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful
detergents predominantly use a
low-alkaline formulation with enzymes.
Enzymes break down starch and
remove protein. To remove coloured
stains (e.g. tea, ketchup), oxygen-based
bleaching agents are generally used.
Note: To ensure a good washing result,
always follow the instructions on the
detergent packaging!
If you have further questions,
we recommend that you contact
the detergent manufacturers’ helplines.
:Warning
Risk of injury and damage due to
non-observance of the safety
instructions for detergent and
rinse-aid products!
Always follow the safety instructions for
detergent products and rinse-aid
products.
Adding detergent
1. If the detergent dispenser 9: is still
closed, actuate locking bar 9B to
open it.
2. Pour detergent into the dry detergent
dispenser 9: only (insert tablet flat,
not on its edge).
3. Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging. Use
graduated detergent dispenser.
Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate
for normal soiling. If using tablets,
one tablet is adequate.
50 ml
25 ml
15 ml
4. Close cover on the detergent
dispenser.
Cover “clicks” into position.
CLICK
The detergent dispenser opens
automatically at the optimum time
depending on the programme. The
powder or liquid detergent is
distributed in the appliance and is
dissolved, the tablet falls into the
tablet collecting tray where it
dissolves in doses.
29
Page 30
en detergent
Tip: If the utensils are only lightly
soiled, slightly less than the indicated
amount of detergent is usually
adequate.
Suitable detergents and care products
can be purchased online via our
website or via customer service (see
back page).
Combination detergent
Apart from conventional detergents
(Solo), a number of products are offered
with additional functions. These
products contain not only the detergent
but also rinse-aid and salt replacement
substances (3in1) and, depending on
the combination (4in1, 5in1, ...),
additional components such as glass
protection or stainless steel cleaner.
Combination detergents function only
up to a specific degree of hardness
(usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and
rinse-aid must be added.
As soon as combined detergents are
used, the rinse programme is adjusted
automatically to ensure the best
possible rinsing and drying result.
Notes
■ If you want to add more utensils after
the programme has started, do not
use the tablet collecting tray 1B as
a handle for the upper basket. The
tablet could already be there and
you will touch the partially dissolved
tablet.
■ Do not place small parts for washing
in the tablet collecting tray 1B; this
prevents the tablet from dissolving
evenly.
■ You will obtain optimum rinsing and
drying results by using solo
detergents and applying salt
and rinse aid separately.
■ If programmes are short, tablets may
not have full cleaning effect due to
different dissolving properties and
there may even be undissolved
detergent residue. It is
recommended to use washing
powder for these programmes.
■ The dosing of a tablet is adequate
for the “Intensive” programme (for
some models). When using washing
powder, you can apply some of this
cleaning agent to the inside of the
appliance’s door.
■ Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme
will run correctly with combined
detergents.
■ If using detergents in a water-soluble
protective cover: Take hold of the
cover with dry hands only and put
the detergent into an absolutely dry
detergent dispenser only, otherwise
the detergent may stick.
■ If you switch from combined
detergents to solo detergents,
ensure that the water softening
system and amount of rinse aid have
been set to the correct value.
■ Biological/eco detergents: Detergent
products identified as “Bio” or “Eco”
(to protect the environment) usually
use lower quantities of active agents
or completely dispense with certain
substances. The cleaning effect of
such products may occasionally be
restricted.

Å Save time
(VarioSpeedPlus) *
Sav e time (Var ioSpeedPl us)
The “Save time” function can reduce
the running time by approx. 20% to 66%
depending on the selected rinse
programme. To obtain optimum
cleaning and drying results at a
reduced running time, water and energy
consumption are increased.
§ Half load *
Hal f l oad
If you have only a few items to wash
(e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can
switch to “half load”. This will save
water, energy and time. It is
recommended to put a little less
detergent in the detergent dispenser
than for a full load.
μ hygienePlus

Programme data
The programme data (consumption
values) can be found in the summary
of instructions. They refer to normal
conditions and the water hardness set
value °E 16 - 20 medium. Different
influencing factors such as water
temperature or line pressure may result
in deviations.
Changing the settings
The dishwasher has been preset with
certain settings for your convenience.
You can change these factory settings.
Change the setting as follows:
1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
3. Press Info button {8 for 3
seconds until the following text is
indicated on the display window at
the top @:

6. Press and hold the Info button {
8 for 3 seconds.
The chosen setting has now been
stored.
AquaSensor *
AquaSensor
* depending on the features of your
dishwasher
The Aqua sensor is an optical
measuring device (light barrier) which
measures the turbidity of the rinsing
water.
The AquaSensor is used according
to the programme. If the AquaSensor is
active, “clean” rinsing water can be
transferred to the next rinse bath and
water consumption can be reduced by
3–6 litres. If the turbidity is greater,
the water is drained and is replaced
with fresh water. In the automatic
programmes the temperature
and running time can also be adjusted
to the degree of soiling.
Tip: If you change several settings, first
make all changes in succession. Now
press the Info button { 8 for
3 seconds. This saves all set values in
the appliance.

Zeolith drying ¼
Zeol i t h dr yi ng
:Warning
Risk of burns from touching the blow
opening 1R!
Never touch the blow opening. The blow
opening becomes hot and, furthermore,
any damage will result in a chargeable
callout by customer service.
Caution!
Please ensure that the intake opening
1J is not obstructed and do not place
any temperature-sensitive utensils in the
lower basket at the rear right side above
the blow opening 1R.
The appliance features a Zeolith
container. Zeolith is a mineral which can
store moisture and heat energy
and release them again.
During the washing step this heat
energy is used to dry the mineral
and heat up the rinsing water.
During the drying phase moisture from
the rinsing compartment is stored in
the mineral and heat energy
is released. This released heat energy is
blown into the rinsing compartment with
dry air. This accelerates and improves
drying.
These processes therefore save a great
deal of energy.
Time display
The running time is determined during
the programme by the water
temperature, the number of utensils as
well as the degree of soiling and may
vary (depending on the selected
programme). You can change the time
display in time or hours/minutes so that
the remaining running time of the rinsing
progamme appears in the display
window “Ready at” (for example 15:20
hours) or “Ready in” (for example 3:25).
Sensor setting
The programme sequence is optmised
in Auto programmes with the aid of
sensors. The sensors adjust the
programme strength of Auto
programmes depending on the amount
and type of soiling. You can adjust the
sensitivity of the sensors in 3 stages.
Standard: This setting is ideal for a
mixed load and heavily soiled utensils,
but also saves energy and water.
Sensitive: This setting adjusts the
programme strength for the effective
removal of food remnants, even if the
amount of soiling is low. The energy and
water consumption is adjusted
accordingly.
Very sensitive: This setting adjusts the
programme strength for difficult
conditions of use, for example firmly
dried on food remnants. This setting is
recommended if using biological or eco
detergents which contain lower
amounts of active agents. The energy
and water consumption is adjusted
accordingly.
extraDry
The final rinse uses a higher
temperature which improves the drying
result. The running time may increase
slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!)
You can switch the extraDry function on
or off.
Eco forecast
When Eco forecast is activated, the
average water and energy consumption
of the selected programme is briefly
