Tips for energy saving
Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product. Operate the product after filling it completely. When selecting a programme, consider the table of "Programme data and average consumption values". Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package.
Water softening system
The product is equipped with a water softening system which reduces the hardness of incoming water. This system softens the supply water to a level that will allow washing the dishes with the required quality.
C
The mains water hardness must be softened if it is over 7°dH. Otherwise, hardness ions will accumulate on the dishes that are washed and may affect the washing, rinsing and drying performances of the machine.
Adjusting the water softening system
Cleaning, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will increase when water softening system is adjusted properly. Adjust the new water hardness level according to the Water hardness level instruction in this booklet. Use the test strip supplied with the product according to the steps given below to determine hardness level of your supply water.

Preparation
If the hardness level of the supply water is above 90 °dF or if you are using well water, then it is recommended to use water purification devices and special filters. If the hardness level of the supply water is below 13°dF, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. If this is the case, “No Salt Warning Indicator” (if any) illuminates continuously on the panel of your machine. If the water hardness level adjustment is set to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator” will illuminate continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the Salt indicator will not illuminate.
C
If you move your house, it is necessary to readjust water hardness level of your machine by considering the information given above according to the hardness level of the supply water in your new location. Your machine will display the most recently adjusted water hardness level.
C
It is recommended to use granule- or powder-formed softening salts in the water softening system. Do not use salts that do not completely dissolve in water such as table salt or rock salt. Otherwise the performance of the system may deteriorate in time.
C
Salt reservoir will be filled with water when you start the product. For this reason, add salt before operating the machine.
1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add
softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counter-
clockwise to open it (A, B).
Adding salt
Water softening system needs to be regenerated in order for the product operates with the same performance continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.
C
Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.
Page 16
DISHWASHER / USER INSTRUCTIONS
15 / 44
EN
Preparation
3. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use (C).
4. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using the salt funnel (D). To speed up dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.
C
You can put about 2 kg of softening salt into the salt reservoir.
5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the reservoir is full.
C
You need to add salt right before starting the machine. Thus, the overflowing salty water will be flushed immediately, preventing the risk of corrosion in machine. In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest program.
C
Since different salt brands in the market have different particle sizes and since the water hardness may vary, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours. Therefore, Salt Indicator remains on for a while after adding salt into the machine.
Detergent
You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine.
A
Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not to use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.
Adding detergent
C
Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Contact the manufacturer of the detergent for further questions.
A
Do not put solvents into the detergent dispenser. There is the risk of explosion!
Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine as illustrated below.

Preparation
1. Push the latch to right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A).
2. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/ gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir.
C
Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 45 cm³ of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm³ or 25 cm³ level marks in the detergent dispenser according to fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets.
3. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A "click" will be heard when the lid is closed.

C
Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.
Tablet detergents
In addition to the conventional tablet detergents, there are also commercially available detergent tablets that show water softening salt and/or rinse aid effect. Some types of these detergents contain special­purpose components such as glass and stainless steel protectors. These tablets show their effects up to a certain water hardness level (21°dH). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level.
Page 18
DISHWASHER / USER INSTRUCTIONS
17 / 44
EN
Preparation
Rinse aid
C
The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination that aims to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or lime stains on the washed items. For this reason, care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only.
1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.
2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.
3. Slightly press the point (B) of the reservoir lid to close it.
C
The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.
C
Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.
C
Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing programme is over when using a tablet detergent.
When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent:
1. Make sure that salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full.
2. Set the water hardness to the highest level and perform an empty run.
3. After the empty washing cycle, review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level so as to suit the water supply.
4. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

Preparation
Placing the dishes into the dishwasher
You can use your dishwasher in the optimum way with respect to energy consumption and washing and drying performance only if you place the dishes in an orderly way.
Wipe away any coarse food remnants
(bones, seeds, etc.) on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle
sections of baskets if possible.
Place the heavily soiled and bigger
items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate and light items in the upper basket.
Place the hollowed dishes such as
bowls, glasses and pans upside down in the dishwasher. Thus, accumulation of water in deep hollows is prevented.
A
To prevent possible injuries, always place the sharp and pointed dishes such as service fork, bread knife, etc. upside down so as their pointed ends will face down or they will lie horizontally in the dish basket.
Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.
4. If there are stains on tableware items after washing, level must be increased and if there is a blue trace after wiping them by hand, it must be decreased. This is set to position 3 as factory default.
C
The rinse aid adjustment is described under "Adjusting the amount of rinse aid" in the section for operating the machine.
C
Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir. Rinse aid that spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.
Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher
Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette
ash, candle remnants, polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in your dishwasher.
Do not wash silverware and cutlery
with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or pieces that are not resistant to heat, as well as copper and tin­plated containers in the dishwasher.
C
Decorative prints of chinaware as well as aluminum and silver items may get discoloured or tarnished after washing in the dishwasher just as it happens in handwashing as well. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull in time. We strongly recommend you to check if the tableware you are going to purchase is suitable for washing especially in the dishwasher.

1
In models with partial movement feature, pushing the bar (1) on the handle enables the central tray of the basket to get to the lower position and the system gets unlocked. Thus right and left side trays can be used as moving parts. The free space enabled by the side trays allows long parts to be loaded in the upper basket.
When the central tray is in the lower position, you can load long/high items such as coffee cups, ladles, etc. on the tray. When the side trays lean on two side walls, the handle can be pulled to allow the central tray to rise and the system to be locked.

Important Notes
Your product is designed and built for domestic household use only.
The guarantee will automatically be void if the product is installed or is used in commercial or non-residential domestic household premises, unless we have previously agreed to the installation environment.
The product must be correctly installed, located and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in the User Instructions Booklet provided with your product.
Professional installation by a qualified Electrical Domestic Appliance Installer is recommended for all Washing Machines, Dishwashers and Electric Cookers (as incorrect installation may result in you having to pay for the cost of repairing the product).
Gas Cookers must be professionally installed by a Gas Safe (or Gas Networks Ireland for Republic of Ireland) registered gas installer.
This guarantee is given in respect of products purchased and used within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
This guarantee is effective from the initial date of purchase of a new product from an authorised retailer and will be void if the product is resold.
This guarantee does not apply to graded sales (where the product is purchased as a “second”).
Possession of a copy of these terms and conditions does not necessarily mean that a product has the benefit of this
guarantee. If you have any questions, please call our Call Centre on the number set out above.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if its staff or representatives are subjected to physical or verbal abuse in the course of carrying out their duties.
Optional extras, where available (i.e. extendable feet) are supplied on a chargeable basis only.
Does Grundig offer replacements?
This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your product with a new product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would normally be an identical model, but when this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and installing the replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a new guarantee.
When will the repair take place?
Our Engineers work Monday to Friday
9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside
these hours may be possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inconvenience and to meet requests for specific timed

appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.
Will there be any charge for the repairs?
It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any service call if:
You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
For missed appointments.
Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely manner. If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law and subject to the English Courts, save where you live in another part of the United Kingdom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply. If you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by Irish law and the Irish courts will have jurisdiction.
