Correct usage
This dishwasher is intended
exclusively for cleaning domestic
crockery and cutlery in a domestic
household. Using it for purposes other
than those for which it was designed,
as well as any alterations or conversions to the machine would be unauthorised and could cause harm. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
Delivery
Before setting up the machine
check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged machine. A
damaged machine is dangerous.
Please ensure that the packaging
material is offered for recycling.
In order to ensure stability, built-un
der and integrated dishwashers
must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
The dishwasher must not be in-
stalled under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes
generated by a hob could damage the
dishwasher. For the same reason it
should not be installed next to open
fires or other appliances which give off
heat, such as heaters etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been
installed.
Check that the voltage, frequency
and fuse rating shown on the data
plate match the household mains sup
ply.

Warning and Safety instructions
The electrical safety of this appli
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap
pliance and an effective earthing sys
tem. It is most important that this basic
safety requirement is tested and where
there is any doubt, the electrical system
in the house should be checked by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for the conse
quences of an inadequate earthing sys
tem (e.g. electric shock).
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
A damaged machine is dangerous.

Warning and Safety instructions
Plastic items which cannot withstand
being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers, or plastic
cutlery and crockery should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher. The high tem
peratures in the dishwasher may cause
them to melt or lose shape.
Take care on dishwashers with a visi
ble heater element
(depending on model)
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme. It will be hot. Danger of
burning!
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element.
Therefore always place plastic items or
any other items which may not be completely heat resistant in the upper basket and ensure they cannot drop down
onto the heater element.
Any items which are too small to be
lodged securely in the upper basket
should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
Keep children away from deter
gents. Dishwasher detergents con
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth,
nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Consult a doctor immediate
ly if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
-
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dish
washer detergent: only add detergent
just before starting the programme and
close the door, activating the child
safety lock (depending on model).
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. There
could still be detergent residues in the
cabinet.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent on
models with the "Delay start" function
make sure the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a
damp dispenser and may not be thor
oughly dispersed. If the door is open at
the end of a programme, children may
come into contact with this residue.

Energy saving washing
Caring for the environment
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco
nomical in its use of water and electric
ity. You can make the most of your ap
pliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
^
suitable, this dishwasher can be con
nected to a hot water supply, for fur
ther economies.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings are
made in:
- the use of primary energy,
- costs,
- programme running times.
If, however, your water is heated by
electricity we would still recommend
connection to cold water.
^ For most economical dishwashing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^ Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
-
-
-
-
-
^
Select the Economy programme for
energy-saving dishwashing.
^
Use the correct amounts of deter
gent.
^
Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
^
The drying heat can be switched off,
shortening the length of the
programme and saving energy. The
load then dries to a large extent in its
own heat (see "Drying heat").

11
Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
approx. 1 litre of water,
–
approx. 1.2 kg dishwasher reactiva
–
tion salt,
domestic dishwasher detergent,
–
rinse aid formulated for domestic
–
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been previously
used.

13
Before using for the first time
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning re
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in the
build-up of calcium deposits on crock
ery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d – German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener.
The water softener must be filled with
–
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
– The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
-
-
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always programme the
dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l in this example).
In the case of a fault, it will help the ser
vice technician if you know the hard
ness of your local water supply.

Filling the salt reservoir
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need to
add dishwasher salt. The dish
washer must, however, still be pro
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness level in your area.
Important: Before filling the salt res
ervoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time

with dishwasher salt for reactivation.
(See: Filling the salt reservoir).
After the reservoir has been filled, the
water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is
run. The salt indicator light may still be
illuminated during this process. It will
go out once the salt concentration has
reached the correct level.
Note
If the water in your area is very soft and
constantly lower than 0.7 mmol (4 °d)
you do not need to add salt to the res
ervoir. The salt indicator light, however,

Before using for the first time
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage res
ervoir and the amount set is dispensed
automatically.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
,
reservoir with powder or liquid dish
washer detergent always causes se
rious damage to the reservoir. Only
pour rinse aid formulated for domes
tic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use
– Household vinegar with a max. 5%
acid content
or
– Liquid citric acid up to 50% acid
content.
The resulting rinsing and drying quality
will not, however, be as good as when
rinse aid is used.
-
Adding rinse aid
-
-
-
^ Press the button in the direction of
the arrow until the flap springs open.
,
Do not use vinegar with a higher
acid content (e.g. vinegar essence

Add rinse aid only until it is visible on
^
the surface of the filter in the
opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
130 ml.
^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water would enter the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
^
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring dur
ing the next programme.
