Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can make the most of
your appliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
^
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply, for
further 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.
10
^
Use the correct amounts of
detergent.
^
Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
approx. 2 litres of water,
–
approx. 2 kg dishwasher reactivation
–
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.
Before using for the first time

lock is on one of the spikes at the
front of the upper basket.
Remove the key before switching on
the dishwasher and keep it in a safe
place away from the dishwasher.
To prevent children opening the
dishwasher door during operation, use
the key to lock the door:
12
Horizontal setting:
The door is locked.
Vertical setting:
The door can be opened.
Before using for the first time
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery 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 requires
–
dishwasher salt.
If you use "3 in 1" tabs in your
dishwasher you should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum results.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed 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.
The dishwasher is programmed at
the factory for a water hardness level
of 14 °d (2.5 mmol/l).
If this setting corresponds to the
hardness of your water you do not need
to do anything more.
If your water is harder or softer, you will
need to programme the water hardness
level using the buttons on the control
panel. The other indicator lights will
flash following each press of a button.
However, only the indicator lights
mentioned in the following
programming process stages are
significant.
The programming procedure can be
cancelled at any time by pressing
the “On/Off” button. The procedure
can then be re-started from the
beginning again.
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
hardness of your local water supply.

Before using for the first time
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 water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in your
area. (The salt indicator light will still
come on, but should be ignored).
The water softener requires
dishwasher salt. If you use "3 in 1"
tabs in your dishwasher you should
still add salt in order to achieve
optimum results.
Important: Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time
2 litres of water to enable the salt to
dissolve. Once the dishwasher has
been used, there is always sufficient
water in the reservoir.
, you must fill it with approx.
Only use special coarse grained
,
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
Remove the lower basket and
^
unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
^
of water (first use).
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent always leads
to serious damage to the water
softener. Make sure you have picked
up the correct packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir!
16
^
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with salt
until the reservoir is full. The salt
reservoir holds approx. 2 kg of salt
depending on the brand used.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water will overflow.
^
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then screw
the cap on again firmly.
^
Run the "Pre-wash" programme im
mediately to remove any traces of
salt water from the cabinet.
-
Before using for the first time
Salt indicator
The salt indicator light comes on to
notify you that the reservoir is empty.
^ The reservoir should then be refilled
with dishwasher salt. (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
reservoir. The salt indicator light,
however, will still come on, but should
be ignored.
The salt refill indicator light is also used
as a programming interface point by
service technicians. See "After Sales
Service" for details of this.
17
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 and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
,
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent always causes serious
damage to the reservoir. Only pour
rinse aid formulated for domestic
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
25% acid). This must not be used as
its use would damage the
dishwasher.
If you use "2 in 1" or "3 in 1" tabs in
your dishwasher you do not need to
add rinse aid.
18
Add rinse aid only until it is visible on
^
the surface of the filter in the
opening.
Before using for the first time
Rinse aid indicator
The Rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel comes on when the rinse
aid reservoir needs to be replenished.
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
during the next programme.
When the light comes on the reservoir
still contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3
programmes.
^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time.
19
Before using for the first time
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The dosage selector has settings from
1-6. It is set to "3" (3 ml) at the factory.
Approx. 3 ml of rinse aid are then used
per programme. This is a
recommended setting.
If spots appear on crockery and
glassware:
^ Use a higher setting.
If clouding or smearing appears on
crockery and glassware:
^
Use a lower setting.
20
Loading the dishwasher
Note
Remove coarse food residues from
^
crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
Do not wash items soiled with
,
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease
or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does
not dissolve and is distributed in the
wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating
grease and paint cause damage to
the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
^ Do not place crockery and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
^ Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
it is properly cleaned.
Deep based items should be placed
^
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
The spray arms must not be blocked
^
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets.
If in doubt, test for free movement by
manually rotating the spray arms.
Make sure that small items do not fall
^
through the holders in the baskets.
Small items, e.g. lids, should
therefore be placed in the cutlery tray
or cutlery basket.
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or
ketchup. Plastic items in the
dishwasher may discolour if large
quantities of these foodstuffs find
their way into the appliance on the
crockery. The stability of plastic
items is not affected by this
discolouration.
^
Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
^
Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
^
Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, should be
placed in the centre of the basket to
ensure better water coverage.
When the dishwasher is being
loaded food and drink residue may
drip onto the sides of the
dishwasher door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by
water from the spray arms.
Food residue should therefore be
wiped away before the dishwasher
door is closed.
