Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
9 CAUTION!
When loading items to be washed:
■ Locate sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
■ Load knives and other sharp utensils
with their HANDLES UP to reduce the
risk of cut-type injuries.
■ Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
■ Do not operate your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are in place.
■ Do not tamper with or override
controls and interlocks.
Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

Water softening system / special salt
Water softening system / special salt
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).

digital display, salt should be topped off. 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.
NOTICE: Detergent will destroy the water softening system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.
Top off the salt as follows:
1. Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 1R.
2. Fill the dispenser with water (required only when
switching on the appliance for the first time).
3. Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.

Rinse Aid
Rinse Aid
As soon as the low rinse aid indicator H lights up on
the control panel, rinse aid should be topped off.
The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear
glasses. Use only rinse aid which the manufacturer
designates as save to use in 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.

Detergent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE: To avoid dishwasher damage:
▯ Do not use hand dishwashing products in your
dishwasher.
▯ Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft.
Using too much detergent with soft water may cause
etching in glassware and fine china.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.
Adding detergent
1. If the detergent dispenser 9* is still closed, actuate
locking bar 92 to open it.
2. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 9*
only. Do not overfill the detergent dispenser.
When using detergent tabs, lay them such that they
do not come in contact with the cover, insert a
detergent tab flat, not on its side.
4. Close cover on the detergent dispenser.
Cover “clicks” into position.
&/,&.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the
optimum time depending on the wash cycle. The
powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the
appliance and is dissolved, the detergent tab falls
into the detergent tab tray where it dissolves in
doses.
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).
Note:Do not place detergent tabs in the tab tray 1B. Place tabs or other detergent forms directly in the detergent dispenser 9*.
3. Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on
the packaging. Use graduated detergent dispenser.
Usually 1¼ to 1½ tablespoons (20 ml–25 ml) are
adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one
tablet is adequate.

Combination detergent
Apart from conventional single function detergents, 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 rinseaid 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 wash cycle
has started, do not use the detergent tab tray 1B as
a handle for the upper rack. The detergent tab could
already be there and you will touch the partially
dissolved tab.
▯ Do not place small parts for washing in the detergent
tab tray 1B; this prevents the detergent tab from
dissolving evenly.
▯ You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results
by using single function detergents and applying salt
and rinse aid separately.
▯ If wash cycles are short, detergent tabs 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 wash cycles.
▯ The dosing of a detergent tab is adequate for the
“Intensive” wash cycle (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 cycle 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 single
function 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.

select the Rinse cycle. Uses less water than hand rinsing
and very low energy.
Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal or Regular soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser 9". A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser 9*, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.
