the rating plate 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

Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft
water, i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind
on crockery and glasses, etc.
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.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the level of hardness of your
tap water. Your local water company or
service agent can help you with this.
Identify setting from the following water
hardness table.
Water hardness table
Press and hold the B programme
button, and set the main switch
1
to
ON, before releasing the programme
button again.
The indicator lamp for the B button
flashes, as does the figure
in the numerical display. The latter
represents the value that was pre-set in
the factory.
To change the setting:
Press the B programme button 9.
Every time the button is pressed, the
figure increases by one. After reaching
, the display starts at again.
Set the main switch 1 to OFF. The
new setting is stored in the appliance’s
memory.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for
regenerating the water softening system.
The overall water consumption per load
can therefore be increased by between 0
and a maximum of 4 litres according to the
water hardness setting.
en
8
Filling the special salt
container
How the salt works
While washing is taking place, salt is
automatically rinsed out of the salt
container into the water softener where it
dissolves the lime in the water.
The dissolved lime is pumped out of the
dishwasher. The water softening system is
then ready for the next load.
This process of regeneration can only
function when the salt is dissolved in
water.
Unscrew the lid on the salt container
24 .
Before you use the dishwasher for the first
time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the
salt container.
Use the enclosed salt filler.
Refill with salt (do not use edible salt)
until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg).
When the salt dispenser is being refilled,
water is displaced and drains away.
Therefore always refill the salt dispenser
immediately before switching on the
dishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As a
result, the overflowing salt solution will be
immediately diluted and rinsed out. Then
remove salt residue from the filler area and
screw on the dispenser cover, ensuring
that it is not fitted askew.
* not included with all models
The LOW SALT indicator 7 on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
Note
When the control is set to
, it is
not necessary to fill up with salt
as none will be consumed while
the dishwasher is operating. The
LOW SALT indicator is switched
off. If the control is set between
and , then salt must be
added to the dispenser.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator 7 is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.
en
9
Adding rinse aid
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses.
Use only rinse aid for domestic
dishwashers.
Open the cover on the rinse-aid
dispenser
29 . To do this, press the
mark (1
) on the cover and
simultaneously lift the cover on the
control plate (2
).
Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just
below the edge of the filler opening.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
To prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove any
rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
Adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid
The amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the
stepless control. The rinse-aid control has
been set to ”4” in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)
are left on the dishes.
29
Rinse aid controller
Rinse-aid refill indicator
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator
lights up on the control panel

,
refill with rinse aid.
If using detergent products with integrated
rinse aid, the rinse-aid refill indicator
can be switched off (see “Switching
the rinse-aid refill indicator off and on”
in the “auto 3in1” chapter).
en
10
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.
Washing contents of UPPER
RACK only
* not on all models
If you only have a small number of dishes
to wash, put them all into the upper rack
and press the UPPER RACK button. This
saves energy and water. If you select the
UPPER RACK function, the lower rack
must be empty. Add a reduced amount of
detergent compared to that which is
recommended for a full load.
en
11
Arranging crockery , glasses,
etc. in the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of
left-over food. It is not necessary to
rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in such
a way that
D
items such as cups, glasses,
pots/pans, etc. are stood upside
down,
D
curved items, or those with
recesses, should be at a slant so
that water can run off,
D
they are stacked securely and
cannot tip over,
D
they do not prevent the spray arms
from rotating while washing takes
place.
Very small items should not be washed in
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top
basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the top basket.
Cups and glasses
Upper basket
20
* not included with all models
Pots and pans

27
Cutlery
Cutlery should be placed in the
dishwasher always unsorted and with the
eating surface pointing downwards. The
spray jet is then better able to reach the
individual parts.
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed
accessories and knives on the étagère
(some models) or on the knife shelf
(available as an accessory).
Folding spikes *
* on applicable models
To improve stacking of pots and pans, the
spikes can be folded down.
en
12
Shelf *
* not on all models
Lean tall glasses and those with long
stems against the shelf – not against other
items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on
the additional cup rack. The additional cup
rack can be swivelled in or out as required.
Small accessories holder*
* some models
Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups,
lids, etc. can be held securely in the small
accessories holder.
Adjusting position of basket *
* not on all models
The top basket can be inserted on either
its upper or lower rollers, according to
requirement. This enables more height to
be gained for bigger dishes in either the
top or bottom basket.
Select one of the two following procedures
according to the design of the top basket
for your appliance model:
Top basket with upper
and lower roller pairs
Pull out the top basket.
Remove the top basket and re-attach it
to the upper or lower rollers.
en
13
Top basket with side levers
(Rackmatic)
Pull out the top basket.
To lower the basket, press in
succession the two levers on the left
and right sides of the basket. Always
take hold of the side of the basket on
the upper edge, otherwise the basket
will not drop smoothly (and may
damage the utensils).
To raise the basket, take hold of the
basket on the upper edge and pull
upwards.
Before you re-insert the basket, ensure
that it is at the same height on both
sides. Otherwise, the appliance door
cannot be closed and the upper spray
arm will not connect to the water circuit.
Baking sheet spray head *
* some models
You can clean large baking sheets or
grilles with the baking sheet spray head.
To do this, remove the top basket and
insert the spray head as illustrated in the
diagram.
To ensure that the spray jet can reach all
parts, arrange the baking sheets as
illustrated
(max. 2 baking sheets and 2 grilles).

Detergents
Information about detergents
You can use any brand of liquid or powder
detergent, as well as tablets, that have
been specifically designed for use in
domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal
washing-up liquid!)
Nowadays there are three types of
dishwasher detergent available:
1. those containing phosphates and
chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no
chlorine,
3. those containing neither phosphates
nor chlorine.
When a phosphate-free detergent is used
in conjunction with hard water, there is a
greater possibility that white marks will be
left behind on crockery and glasses, etc.
These can be avoided by pouring an
increased amount of detergent into the
dispenser.
Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced
bleaching effect. This can mean that tea
stains are not completely removed or
plastic items become discoloured.
This can be resolved by:
D
selecting a higher temperature
programme, or
D
increasing the amount of detergent,
or
D
using a detergent that contains
chlorine.
Check the label on the detergent
packaging to determine whether a
particular product is suitable for use with
silverware.
If you have any further questions, we
recommend that you contact the customer
advice departments of the various
detergent manufacturers.
Detergent compartment with
measuring marks
The side of the detergent compartment is
marked with lines to help you determine
how much powder to add.
The capacity of the detergent container is
15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to
the middle line. When the compartment is
full it contains 40 ml.
If the detergent dispenser 30 is still
closed, press the lock
28 to open the
detergent dispenser.
Adding detergent
Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent.
Please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the detergent
packaging when determining the
correct dosage.
Important
Due to the different solvency properties of
the detergent tablets supplied by various
manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of
the detergent may not be fully utilised by
short programmes. It is recommended to
use washing powder for these
programmes.
If using the “Intensive” programme
(some models), also pour approx.
10–15 ml of detergent onto
the appliance door. If using tablets,
also place a tablet on the appliance
door.
en
15
Reduce costs!
If your dishes are only
moderately dirty, you may be
able to use less detergent than
recommended.
Close the lid on the detergent
compartment.
Press down the lid (1) until it clicks
shut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form,
read the manufacturer’s
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.).
Make sure that the lid on the detergent
compartment is closed, even if you are
using tablets.
auto 3in1
The use of so-called combined detergent
products may make the use of rinse aid
and/or salt unnecessary.
There are currently several types of
combined detergent products available.
3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid
and salt function.
2in1: They contain detergent and rinse
aid or salt function.
>>> Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you
are using!
Always follow the operating instructions
or the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automatically
adjusted in order to obtain the best
possible rinsing and drying result.
Observe the following important
information if using combined cleaning
products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to
a water hardness of 21_ dH (37_ fH,
26_ Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water
hardness is above 21_ dH (37_ fH,
26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt 24 and select
setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent
manufacturer, especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end
of the programme.
limescale forms.
en
16
Note
Optimum rinsing and drying results can be
obtained by using standard detergents in
conjunction with separate application of
salt and rinse aid.
Observance of the operating instructions
or information on the packaging of the
combined detergents determines their
effectiveness.
Note
Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs
correctly when 3in1 products are used.
If the rinse aid refill indicator

device.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required to
regenerate the water softening system.
As a result, the water consumption per
rinse cycle increases by 0 to maximum
4 litres depending on the water hardness
setting.
Note
If you use the detergent and rinse aid
separately or switch from combined
detergents to standard cleaning products,
ensure that the rinse aid refill indicator has
been switched on and the water softening

18
Washing dishes
Reduce costs!
If only a small number of
dishes have been loaded into
the dishwasher, selecting a
programme that operates at
the next lowest temperature
will usually suffice.
Programme data
The programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions.
Programme specifications refer to normal
conditions. Greater deviations may occur
due to:
different amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g.
temperature, water volume, ...).
Energy and water consumption is reduced
by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in
the upper basket only.
Water consumption values are based on a
water hardness setting of 4.
Aqua sensor *
* on applicable models
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring
device which measures the turbidity of the
rinsing water. A light barrier can detect
dissolved food remnants in the water, e.g.
egg, fat and oats.
The Aqua sensor is used according to
the programme. When the Aqua sensor
is active, ”clean” rinsing water may be
transferred into the next rinsing bath
and/or the temperature adjusted. If the
turbidity is greater, the water is drained
and is replaced with fresh water. In this
way the water consumption is reduced by
approx. 4 litres for utensils which are ”less”
dirty.
Switching the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch 1 to ON.
Indicators light up according to the last
programme that was selected.
This same programme will run again if
no other programme button

* With some models
During the rinse programme a light point
appears on the floor below the device’s
door. Only open the dishwasher door
when the light point has disappeared.
In the case of built-in dishwashers with
flush front the light point will not be visible.
Remaining running time display
When the appliance has started, the
expected programme running time is
displayed. The programmed running time
is affected by the water temperature, the
number of dishes, as well as the degree
of soiling. If these conditions are changed,
the running time (depending on the
selected programme) can vary greatly.
As the effect is not detected until a
programme is running, the time may
be longer or shorter than expected.

within 2 minutes after you have switched
the dishwasher on.
Should it be necessary to change the
programme after this period, the
programme cycle that has already been
begun (e.g. washing) will be completed
first of all.
The new remaining time displayed is the
sum of the remaining time from the
preceding programme cycle and the
remaining time attributable to the new
programme that has been selected.
Intensive drying
If the “Intensive drying” function is
activated, the temperature of the final rinse
is increased in all programmes and you

Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance
of your machine will help to prevent faults.
This saves time and prevents problems.
Therefore you should occasionally have
a careful look inside your dishwasher.
Overall condition
of the machine
Check spray arm for grease and
limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with
detergent, start the appliance without
utensils in the programme which has
the highest wash temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/
appliance cleaners which are particularly
suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly wipe the door seal with
a damp cloth to remove deposits.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your
dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable
for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance
and panel with a damp cloth; water and
a little washing-up liquid will suffice.
Do not use sponges with a rough surface
or abrasive detergents, as these could
scratch the surfaces.
Attention!
Never use other chlorinated household
detergents! Health hazard!

Filters
The filters 25 prevent large particles of
food in the water from reaching the pump.
These particles may occasionally block
the filters.
When the appliance has finished
washing, check the filters for particles
of food and, if required, clean.
After undoing the coarse micro-filter, the
filter unit can be removed. Remove any
particles of food and rinse the filters
under running water.
Insert the filter unit and tighten the
coarse micro-filter.

having to call out a service engineer. Not
only does this save costs, but it also
means that the appliance is available for
use again that much sooner. The following
list of common occurrences and their
remedies should help you identify the
causes of most problems.

General
Built-under and integrated appliances
which are subsequently installed as
free-standing appliances must be
secured to prevent them from falling
over, e.g. by screwing them to the wall
or by installing them under a continuous
worktop which is screwed to the
adjoining units.
For Swiss version only:
The appliance can be installed without
difficulty between wooden and plastic
walls in a kitchen range. If the appliance
is not connected via a plug, the
installation side must feature an all-pole
disconnector with a contact gap of at
least 3 mm in order to satisfy the
relevant safety regulations.
en

Installation
The dishwasher must be connected by
a qualified technician to ensure correct
operation. The specifications for supply,
drainage and connected load must fulfil
the required criteria as stated in the
following paragraphs or in the installation
instructions.
Install the appliance in the following
sequence:
– Check the delivery
– Install the appliance
– Connect the waste water
– Connect the fresh water
– Connect the power supply
Delivery
Your dishwasher was checked at the
factory to ensure that it was in perfect
working order. This may have left some
small water stains in the dishwasher.
These will disappear after the first rinse
cycle.
Installation
The required installation dimensions can
be found in the installation instructions.
Using the height-adjustable feet, adjust the
appliance until it is level. Ensure that the
appliance is standing firmly.
Waste water connection
See the installation instructions for the
required connection steps. If required,
attach a siphon with drainage spigot.
Using the enclosed parts, connect the
waste water hose to the drainage spigot
of the siphon.
Ensure that the drainage hose is not
kinked, crushed or twisted (ensure that
there is no sealing cover which prevents
the waster water from flowing away!).
Fresh water connection
Using the enclosed parts, connect the
fresh water connection to the tap
according to the installation instructions.
Ensure that the fresh water connection is
not kinked, crushed or twisted.
When replacing the appliance, always
connect a new water supply hose to the
water supply. The old supply hose must
not be re-used.
