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.
In order for your dishwasher to become
serve@Home capable, you will need a special
accessory, the System Interface (available from your
specialist supplier). Please follow the enclosed
installation instructions, and install the system
interface in the chamber located at the front 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 utensils with sharp points must be
placed in the baskets either flat or with the points
downwards.
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!
Open the door carefully when the programme is still
running. Water could spray out of the appliance.
To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by stumbling, open
the dishwasher only briefly in order to load and
unload the dishwasher.
Read and observe the safety information and
instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning
and rinsing agents.
Children in the household
Do not let infants play or operate the dishwasher.
Keep cleaning and rinsing agents out of the reach of
infants. These may cause chemical burns in the
mouth, throat and eyes or asphyxiation.
Keep infants away from the open dishwasher. It
could contain residue of the cleaning agent.
If the appliance is installed at eye-level, ensure when
opening and closing the door that children are not
caught or crushed between the appliance door and
the cupboard door situated below.

If a fault occurs
Repairs or other work on the dishwasher should only
be carried out by a qualified specialist.
The dishwasher must be disconnected from the
electricity supply before any repairs or other work
are started. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket
or switch off at the fuse box. Grasp the plug to
remove it from the socket; do not tug on the cable.
Turn the water off at the tap.
When disposing of old appliances
Appliances that have reached the end of their
service life should be rendered inoperable in order to
exclude the possibility of subsequent accidents. Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket, cut through the
connecting cable and disable the door lock.
Take the appliance to a designated waste disposal
centre.
Warning
Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of
suffocation) or get stuck in other positions.
Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the mains wire
and set aside. Damage the door lock so that the door
can no longer be closed.

Providing operating materials
To operate the dishwasher you will require
salt (only for appropriate water hardness, see
chapter “Adjusting the softening system”),
rinse aid,
detergent.
Only use products which are suitable for the
dishwasher.
Before using the appliance for the first time and after
selecting the language, fill with salt (if required) and
rinse aid and adjust the softening system. Proceed as
described in the chapters “Filling with salt”, “Filling with
rinse aid” and “Adjusting the softening system”.

Setting up the water softener
In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e., containing little or
no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on
the dishes and interior containers.
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.
The softening system must be adjusted before the
appliance is used for the first time or if the water
hardness changes.
Determine the degree of hardness of your tap water.
Your water utilities company or customer service will
advise you.
Switch on the appliance with the main switch 1 .
The main menu is displayed (if switching on the
appliance for the first time, only when a language
has been selected and dispensers have been filled
with salt (if required) and rinse aid).
Keep pressing button M/OK 2 until the “Hardness”
setting is displayed.
Using the buttons – or + 3 , select the set value
between 0 and 7 which corresponds with the degree
of hardness of your tap water in the following table.
The factory setting is “Hardness 4”.
Press the button M/OK 2 The set value is saved
and you are returned to the Start menu.
If the setting is “0” the softening system is switched off.
Possible lack of salt will not
be indicated.
Water hardness table

Filling in the salt
If the hardness of your mains water corresponds to the
device’s index value
(see chapter “Setting up the
softening system”), you do not need to fill in the salt
because the operation will not use any salt. If the set
values
to are displayed, salt must be added.
During the rinse cycle the salt is being washed
automatically from the salt compartment into the
softening system where it will dissolve the lime.
The lime-containing solution drains from the
dishwasher. Afterwards the softening system is ready
to be loaded again.
This regeneration cycle will only work if the salt is
dissolved in water.
After switching on the device, lack of salt is indicated
by the display “Refill Salt”. (This display will no longer
appear once you have set the softening system to the
value
.)
Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 25 .
Before operating the device for the first time you
must pour 1 litre of water into the salt compartment.
Then you must refill salt (not table salt) using the
supplied salt filling aid until the salt compartment is
full (max 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt, water is being
displaced and drains off. Therefore the refilling must
take place shortly before switching on the device. (In
order to avoid corrosion). This way the overflowing salt
solution is diluted and flushed immediately. Then clean
the filling area of salt residues and screw the
compartment lid back on without tilting the lid.
As soon as a sufficiently high salt solution has formed
the display “Refill Salt” will disappear.
If you do not want to wait until the display disappears
but you want to wash immediately, confirm the refilling
of the salt using the button M/OK
2 .
If you do not want to refill the salt now you can skip the
display “Refill Salt” by pressing the button M/OK
2 .
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container for special
salt. This would destroy the water softener.
Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness
setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be
topped up for several months.
Filling with rinse aid
Rinse aid is used in washing mode to ensure that
glasses are sparkling and utensils are stain-free.
When the appliance is switched on, low rinse aid level
is indicated by ”Refill rinse aid”. You can add rinse aid
either when the appliance door is completely open or –
for a more comfortable posture – when the door is half
open.
Open the rinse aid dispenser 30 by pressing the
button on the dispenser cover and open the cover.
When the door is half open, also pull out the hinged
filling aid until it locks into position.
Fill in the rinse aid slowly and take care not to
overfill. The right amount is indicated by the level
indicator at the compartment not being illuminated
when the door is fully opened and by the display
“Refill Rinse Aid” no longer being lit.
Close the lid of the compartment until it audibly clicks
into place. If necessary, the filling aid will be
re-inserted automatically.
If you want to fill in the rinse aid at a later time you can
skip the display “Refill Rinse Aid” by pressing the
button M/OK
2 .
If necessary, you can change the amount of rinse aid
that is added during the operation. In order to do this,
select the option “Rinse Aid Amount” as described
in the chapter “Device Set-up” under the heading
“Options/Basic Settings”.

Filling when the door is half open.
Note
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.
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.
