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.
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 sharp-pointed utensils must be placed
with the points down in the cutlery basket or
horizontally in the utensils basket.
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!

You will need to purchase the
following before using the dishwasher
for the first time:
– special salt for use in dishwashers
– detergent
– rinse-aid
Only use products, which are suitable for dishwashers.
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 6

Filling the salt dispenser
Salt must always be filled before the appliance is
switched on, so that excess salt solution is immediately
flushed away to prevent corrosion.
Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 24 .
Before using the appliance for the first time, pour
about 1 litre of water in the salt container.
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.
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.
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.
Warning
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
Rinse aid is used in the rinsing cycle to ensure clear
glasses and stain-free utensils.
Open the lid of the rinse-aid dispenser 29 by
pressing the button on the rinse-aid lid and lifting up
the lid.
Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level
indicator turns dark.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.
rinse–aid control
Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Spilt rinse
aid may result in excessive foam formation in the next
rinse cycle. Therefore, remove any spilt rinse aid with a
cloth.
Convenient rinse-aid filling procedure
with half-open door
Open the rinse-aid lid and pull out the hinged filling
aid until it locks into position.
Slowly fill with rinse aid but do not overfill.
Close the rinse-aid lid until it clicks shut.
Page 7

Set Amount of Rinse Aid
The amount of rinse aid is set at the factory to 4.
Only change this setting if streaks b or water stains y
remain on the dishes.
Hold the Programme button 3 and press the main
switch 1.
Release both buttons.
In order to change the setting, press the Programme
button
3
.
Each time you press the button the value increases
by one step; once a value of is reached the
indicator jumps back to (Off: The rinse aid
fill indicator
6
does not show a need to refill).
Switch off the main switch 1. The set value is
stored within the device.
Note
Only switch off the rinse aid indicator if you are using
cleaning products with integrated rinse aid!
Utensils
Not suitable
Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
Fragile decorative glasses, hand-crafted and antique
utensils. These decorative items 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.
Loading the dishwasher
Remove large food remnants.
It is not necessary to rinse them off under running
water.
When loading the dishwasher, ensure that
D
all utensils are secure and cannot fall over.
D
the openings of all receptacles are face down.
D
curved or indented utensils are at an incline,
allowing water to drain.
D
the two spray arms can rotate freely.
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.

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.
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.
Adjusting the height of the basket *
* some models
If required, the height of the upper utensils basket can
be adjusted to provide more space for tall utensils
either in the upper or lower basket.
Appliance height in
cm
81 86
Max. ø in cm upper 20/25* 20/25*

Select one of the two following procedures according to
the design of the top basket for your appliance model:
Page 9
9
Top basket with upper and lower roller
pairs
Pull out the top basket.
Remove the top basket and re-attach it to the upper
or lower rollers.
Top basket with side levers
(Rackmatic)
Pull out the top basket.
To lower the basket, press in one lever and then the
other situated on the left and right of the basket
exterior, holding the basket firmly on the sides of the
upper edge to prevent it from falling down.
To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of
the upper edge and lift it up.
Before re-inserting the basket again, 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 be connected to the water circuit.
Detergent
You can use commercially available liquid or powder
proprietary detergents for dishwashers or TABS (do not
use handwash!).
If phosphate-free detergents are used with hard tap
water, white deposits may be deposited more easily on
utensils and the container walls. This can be remedied
by adding more detergent.
See detergent packaging to determine whether a
detergent is suitable for silver parts.
If you have any other questions, we recommend that
you contact the helplines of the detergent
manufacturers.
Detergent dispenser with dosing aid
The graduated detergent dispenser helps you add the
correct amount of detergent.
The lower and middle lines in the dispenser indicate15
ml and 25 ml of detergent respectively. The dispenser
can be filled with 40 ml of detergent when the door is
opened horizontally .
Filling with detergent
You can add detergent either when the appliance door
is completely open or – for a more comfortable posture
– when the door is half open.
If the detergent dispenser is still closed, open it by
pressing the catch .
When the door is half open, press the button on the
right side of the detergent dispenser. Swivel up the
detergent compartment and cover. The detergent
compartment can easily be locked into position by
lifting it slightly.
Page 10
10
Pour detergent into the dispenser.
Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the
detergent packet for correct dosage.
Note
The cleaning tabs from various manufacturers exhibit
differing dissolving properties, so washing power may
not develop fully during short programmes and there
may be undissolved cleaning agent residue. It is
recommended to use washing powder for these
programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some models) requires
one tab only. When using washing powder, you can
apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of
the appliance’s door.
Reduce costs!
If your dishes are only moderately dirty, you may be
able to use less detergent than recommended.
If using washing tablets, please refer to the washing
tablets box where to place the tablets in the
appliance (e.g. in the cutlery basket, detergent
dispenser).
Close the detergent dispenser. Slide the dispenser
cover completely over the detergent compartment
(1) and then press down firmly (2) until the catch
“clicks” into position.
Close the detergent dispenser when the door is
completely open.
Close the detergent dispenser when the door is half
open.
During the washing cycle the cover of the detergent
dispenser is automatically opened and the detergent
is washed out. The cover is therefore open when the
programme ends.
Page 11

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.
2in1: They contain detergent and rinse aid or salt
function.
3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid and salt
function.
4in1: They contain a detergent, rinse-aid, salt
function and an additional glass protection
component.
In addition, other combined products with a comparable
effect are offered according to the manufacturer.
>>> 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.
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

Approx. 4 litres of water are required to regenerate the
water softening system. As a result, the water
consumption per rinse cycle increases by 0 to
maximum 4 litres depending on the water hardness
setting.
Note
If you use the detergent and rinse aid separately or
switch from combined detergents to standard cleaning
products, ensure that the rinse aid refill indicator has
been switched on and the water softening system has
been set to the correct water hardness.

Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be identified by
comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as
the amount and condition of food remains, with the
details contained in the programme overview.
You will find the appropriate programme information in
the introduction.
Page 13
13
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 *
* some models
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring device (light
barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing
water.
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 water consumption can be reduced
by approx. 4 litres.
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

Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine
will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents
problems.
Overall condition of the machine
Check washing chamber 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.
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!
Salt and rinse aid
Check the refill indicators 5 6. If required, top
up the salt and/or 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.

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

any water left inside may seep into the control
module and cause subsequent errors with
programme functions.
The appliance must be drained in the following
sequence:
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.
