Avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.
•
Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.

Contact your local authority for information about where
and how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.

See the section Installation.
Child safety

placed with the points down in the cutlery
basket or horizontally in other baskets.
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent
is corrosive!
Before washing for the first time
The water softener
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral
content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and
the dishwasher.
Water hardness is specified using the following scales: The
German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water
hardness scale (°fH). A water supply with a water hardness
in excess of 6°dH (9°fH) must be softened. This is done
automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In
order for the softener to function optimally, it must be
adjusted to the hardness of the water supply.
Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness
in your area.
Adjusting the water softener
Chapter Settings on page 8 describes how to adjust the
water softener.
Fill up the salt
Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener,
you must fill the salt compartment with salt for the water
supply to be softened automatically. Use large grain salt or
special dishwasher salt.
Refill salt indicator
When the salt needs topping up, the above symbol lights
on the display.
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cap and fill the
container with salt. Water is only needed the first time! Wipe
clean and tighten. Run a programme to ensure that any salt
in the dishwasher is rinsed away.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
Top up with rinse aid
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use
rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result
with clear and spotless dishes.
1
Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2 Carefully top up with rinse aid.
When the rinse-aid container is
full, the indicator will be fully dark.
3
Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the
compartment.
4
Close the lid firmly.
Do as follows the first time:
1
Unscrew the lid as illustrated.
2
Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt
compartment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of
water.
3
Then add salt, a maximum of 1.5 kg, until the
compartment is full.
4
Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed
on firmly.
5
Run a programme to ensure that any salt in the
dishwasher is rinsed away.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol
lights on the display.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
Rinse aid dispensing can be set from 1 (low dose) to 6
(High dose). (Factory settings: 4)
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
•
If the dishes have water marks.
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
•
If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
•
If the dishes are streaked.
•
Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse
aid can be diluted 50:50 with water.
3
order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing programme
be started immediately after adding salt.
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt
compartment. This destroys the water softener!
Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
•
Do not start the dishwasher until it is fully loaded to save
energy.
•
Do not rinse under running water. Simply scrape off
large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
•
Choose an environmentally-friendly detergent. Read the
environmental declaration on the packaging!
•
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a
programme with a low temperature.
•
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door
a little once the programme has ended. (If the
dishwasher is built-in the surrounding furnishings must
be resistant to any condensation.)
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for
several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong
heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an
upper basket and a lower basket.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks,
serving cutlery and similar item.
Upper basket

upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and
downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass
shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right

of pots and pans. Make sure the cup shelf is on the correct
position when folded up as show in the picture.
Raising and lowering the upper basket
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to
create more space for large utensils both for the
upper/lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be
adjusted by lift up the basket for the upper position, and up
press the handle to lower the upper basket, see the picture
below:
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery
(in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.

manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
Press the Programme selector one or more times until the
desired programme symbol is activated.
Auto wash
The dishwasher can measure how dirty the dishes are and
adjust water consumption and temperature accordingly.
When newly installed, the programme needs to be run five
times before it is fully adapted and can provide the best
results.
A The place of main wash cycle detergent placed.
B Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent
and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing
and also entails greater environmental impact.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid.
There is a risk that the detergent will not be released
properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.
Intensive wash
Programme for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole
dishes and oven dishes. Also ideal for situations where
demands on hygiene are especially high, such as when
dishwashing baby bottles and cutting boards. If these dishes
do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates
and the like.
Eco wash
This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty
dishes and is the most effective programme in terms of
combined energy and water consumption.
Quick wash
This programme is used for glasses and porcelain that is
slightly dirty, such as coffee cups.
In combination with SpeedWash, a shorter programme is
achieved (15 minutes).
Read the manufacturer, recommendations on the packaging
In order to determine where the tablets should be placed
inside the dishwasher (e.g. in cutlery basket, detergent
compartment, etc.).
3-in-1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If
anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.
If the detergent tablets contain rinse aid the dishwasher's
rinse aid dosing can be deactivated. See the chapter
Settings. Note that the salt compartment must be filled with
salt.
Rinse

the option is activated. The available options vary between
programmes and some options cannot be combined
(available options glow dimly).
SpeedWash
This option shortens the programme time, but uses more
energy and water.
5

must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the
dishwasher from operating effectively
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short
programmes (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent instead.
6
Extra dry
A higher temperature in the final rinse improves the drying
results if you activate this option. Energy consumption is
slightly increased.
Half load
This option adapts the dishwashing programme to a
half-filled dishwasher, using less energy and water.
Delayed start
When you select Delayed start the dishwasher will start
1-24 hours after you close the door.
1
Press the button once to activate Delayed start. Press
the button several times – or hold it in – to set the
desired number of hours.
2

at a time and starts after the selected delay.
If you want to cancel the Delayed start option, open the door
and press and hold the main power switch until the display
turns off.
Start the dishwasher
Close the door to start the dishwasher. If the main power
switch is on the dishwasher will start automatically when
the door is closed.
TIME - Time remaining

the programme took when last used is displayed.
Once you have started the dishwasher the display shows
the remaining programme time. The remaining time is
updated after the water for the final rinse has been heated.
This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on
the temperature of the water supply, the amount of dishes,
the ambient temperature and other factors.
