•
Never use the dishwasher for any
purpose other than that specified in
these operating instructions.
•
Do not load the dishwasher door or
dishwasher baskets with anything other
than dishes.
•
Never leave the dishwasher door open
as someone may trip on it.
•
Use only dishwasher detergent!
•
This machine can be used by children
aged 8 and upwards, and by people
with reduced physical capacity, mental
ability, memory loss or lacking
experience and knowledge. These
individuals must be supervised when
using the machine or have instructions
on how to use the machine and
understand the risks that can occur.
Cleaning of the machine must not be
carried out by children without
supervision.
•
Damaged mains cables must only be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
•
Only use the dishwasher in
household-type environments for
dishwashing household dishes. All
other use is prohibited.
•
Never place dishes with solvent
residues in the dishwasher due to the
risk of explosion. Nor may dishes that
contain ash, wax or lubricants be
washed in the dishwasher.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be
placed with the points down in the cutlery
basket or horizontally in other baskets.
Installation
See the chapter Installation.
Child safety
Children must be watched. Do not allow
children to use or play with the
dishwasher. Be especially vigilant when
the door is open. Some detergent may
remain inside! After adding detergent,
always start the dishwasher immediately.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised –
dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Winter storage/transport
Store the dishwasher above freezing and
avoid long transport distances in very cold
weather. Transport the dishwasher upright
or laying on its back.
Overflow guard function
The overflow protection starts pumping
out the machine and turns off the water
supply if the water level in the dishwasher
exceeds the normal level. If the overflow
protection is triggered, turn off the water
supply and call the service department.
Packing material
The packaging protects the product during
transport. The packaging material is
recyclable. Separate the different
packaging materials to help reduce raw
material use and waste. Your dealer can
take the packaging for recycling or direct
you to the nearest recycling centre. The
packaging is comprised of:
•
Corrugated cardboard made from up
to 100% recycled material.
•
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no
added chlorine or fluorine.
3
•
Supports made from untreated wood.
•
Protective plastic made from
polyethylene (PE).
Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and
labelled for recycling.
When the dishwasher has reached the
end of its service life and is to be disposed
of, it should immediately be made
unusable. Pull out the power cable and
cut it as short as possible.
Contact your local authority for information
about where and how your dishwasher
should be correctly recycled.
Before washing for the first time
Checking water hardness
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
German water hardness scale (°dH) or
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
water softener to function optimally, it
must be adjusted to the hardness of the
water supply. Once you have adjusted the
water softener, use detergent and rinse
aid doses suitable for soft water.
Contact the local waterworks to check the
water hardness in your area.
Make a note of the water
hardness:____________
If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH
(89°fH), we recommend connecting an
external water softener.
WARNING!
Hard water leaves a white coating on
dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is
therefore important that you select the
right setting for the water softener! See
Water hardness.
Never run the dishwasher with an empty
salt compartment if the water supply has
a water hardness in excess of 6°dH
(9°fH).

Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
•
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!
•
Do not start the dishwasher until it is
fully loaded to save energy.
•
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you
can select a programme with a low
temperature.
•
Better drying results are achieved if you
use the Auto open option, which
automatically opens the dishwasher
door. Wait until the dishwasher
indicates that the programme has
ended and the dishes have cooled
before unloading the dishwasher. (If the
dishwasher is built-in the surrounding
furnishings must be resistant to any
condensation from the dishwasher.)
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.
•
Angle dishes with hollows, such as
cups, so that the rinse water will run off.
This is also important for plastic items.
•
Make sure small items cannot fall
through the dishwasher basket; place
them in the cutlery basket.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate
freely.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper
basket and a lower basket with a cutlery
basket.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates
and saucers in the 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 (if fitted).
Exercise caution with, for example,
handmade items, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin,
aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the
"Dishwasher safe" marking.
Points to consider
•
All dirty surfaces should face inwards
and downwards!
•
Dishes should not be placed in or on
each other.
6
Raising and lowering the upper basket
1.
Pull out the upper basket.
2.
Grab the sides of the upper basket with
both hands and lift it up.
3.
Repeatedly lift the basket with both
hands to change its position. (The
upper basket can be set in three
positions.) When the upper basket is in
the highest position lifting it will return
it to the lowest position. Note that both
sides of the basket must always be set
to the same height.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes,
pots and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in
the lower basket.
out as much as possible. Ensure that
spoons do not stack inside each other.
Place the cutlery basket in the lower
basket.
Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing
down, except for knives, and spread them

Using the dishwasher
Press to open
Add detergent
1.
Prewash detergent compartment
2.
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.
The detergent compartment must be dry
when adding detergent. There is one
compartment for the prewash and one for
the main wash. If powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent is used, add a small
amount of the detergent to the prewash
compartment. Contact the detergent
manufacturer if you have questions about
the detergent.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing
up liquid must not be used as the foam
that forms prevents the dishwasher from
operating effectively.
detergent will not be released properly if
the lid is tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not
recommended for short programmes
(less than 75 minutes). Use powder or
liquid dishwasher detergent instead.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one
detergents on the market. Read through
the directions for these products carefully.
Chapter Settings describes how to
activate TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent).
Note that salt must be put in the salt
compartment. If you are not satisfied with
the dishwashing or drying results,
deactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/
All-in-one detergent) and top up with salt,
detergent and rinse aid. See Chapter
Before washing for the first time.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are
achieved by using normal dishwasher
detergent together with separately
dispensed rinse aid and salt.
The main power switch
Press and hold the main power switch
until the display lights up. Also check that
the water tap is on.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the
dispenser lid. There is a risk that the

PROGRAMS - Select a
programme
Select a programme to suit the type of
dishes and how dirty they are.
Press the Programme selector one or
more times until the desired programme
symbol is activated.
Daily wash
An effective programme for daily use for
slightly dried leftovers. (This programme
is not intended for burnt food, such as on
oven dishes.)
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).
Rinse
Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the
dishwasher to become fully loaded.
EXTRA - Select an option
To select an option, press one of the
option buttons until 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.
Auto open
The dishwasher door opens automatically,
which improves the drying results. Wait
until the dishwasher indicates that the
programme has ended and the dishes
have cooled before unloading the
dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in
the surrounding furnishings must be
resistant to any condensation from the
dishwasher.)
NOTE!
The dishwasher door must not be
blocked when set to open automatically.
This can disrupt door lock functionality.
Half load
This option adapts the dishwashing
programme to a half-filled dishwasher,
using less energy and water.
