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:
D
The corrugated cardboard consists
mainly of waste paper.
D
The polystyrene moulded parts
have been foamed without any
CFCs.
D
The polyethylene film (PE) consists
partly of secondary raw material.
D
The wooden frames (if fitted) are
made of residual wood and are
untreated.
D
The hoops (if fitted) consist of
polypropylene (PP).
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.
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.

en
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

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.
Before using for the first time
The appliance was checked before it left
the works. In order to remove possible
water test remains, use the appliance for
the first time without any dishes, using
the highest temperature. Also fill salt, rinse
aid and detergent in the filling
compartments.
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.

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.
Close the door
Rotate the programme selector 3
from the 12 o’clock position by one

To change the setting: Rotate the

You can select a set value between
0 and 3 according to the hardness
of your water.
If the lamps
the maximum set hardness value
has been reached. If the set hardness
value is now increased again, the
lamps go out and the set hardness
value is set to 0 (no lamp lights up).
Switch off the main switch 1 .

stored.

Filling in the Salt
Function of the salt
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.
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment
Before switching on the appliance
for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre
of water into the salt dispenser.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full (max.
1.5 kg). When you refill the salt, water
is being displaced and drains off.
Therefore, to prevent corrosion, always
refill with salt immediately before
switching on the dishwasher. This way
the overflowing salt solution is diluted
and flushed immediately. Use the
enclosed salt filling aid ( in some
models).
Then clean the filling area of salt
residues and screw the compartment
lid back on without tilting the lid.
27 .
* on applicable models
The LOW SALT indicator
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
If the set hardness value is ”0”, do not
add salt because no salt is used during
operation; the salt refill indicator
is switched off.
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
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.

Adding rinse aid

utensils and clear glasses.
Use only rinse aid for domestic
dishwashers.

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.

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.
