Help to protect the environment
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in the use of water and
electricity. For best results follow these
tips:
You may connect the commercial
^
dishwasher to a hot water line. This is
particularly suitable with
energy-saving water heating sources
such as solar energy systems.
If the hot water system is electrically
heated and if loads comprise
primarily glassware we recommend
connecting the appliance to the cold
water line.
^ For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
^
Use the Normal program for energy
saving dishwashing.
From the aspect of combined energy
and water consumption, this program
is the most efficient for washing
normally soiled dishes.
^
Observe the detergent
manufacturer's recommendations for
detergent dosage.
^
When using powder or gel detergent,
reduce the amount to
normal amount when washing a small
load.

17
Before using for the first time
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
Filling the salt container
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water that
is low in minerals). Hard water results in
calcium deposits on dishware and in
the dishwasher.
Therefore, tap water with a hardness of
4 °d (4 gr/gal) or more must be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the integrated water
softener. The water softener requires
reactivation salt. The water softener is
suitable for a water hardness of up to
36 °d (37 gr/gal).
See "Settings - Water hardness" for
setting the water softener.
If the hardness of your water is
always below 4 °d (4 gr/gal), you do
not need any salt.
However, you must still program
your dishwasher for your water
hardness.
Inadvertently filling the salt
,
container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.
Only use water softener salt
,
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
18
Only open the door half way when
^
adding salt to avoid spilling it.
^ Press the button on the top of the salt
reservoir in the direction of the arrow.
The cover will pop open.
Before using for the first time
Do not fill water into the salt
reservoir!
^ Only add just enough salt to fill the
reservoir. Depending on the type of
salt, the reservoir will hold up to
approx. 2.2 lbs (1 kg).
^
Open the funnel.
Never fill with more than 2.2 lbs
(1 kg) of salt.
Displaced water may run out as the
reservoir is being filled.
^
Clean any excess salt from the filling
area and close the cover of the
reservoir.
^
Immediately run the Pre-wash
program without a load in order to
remove any traces of salt from the
chamber.
19
Before using for the first time
Refill salt indicator
Refill the salt reservoir as soon as the
^
Refill salt message is displayed.
F
Press the center button to confirm.
^
The Refill salt indicator goes out.
If a sufficiently high concentration of
salt has not yet formed, Refill salt may
continue to be displayed after adding
the salt.
In this case, confirm again with the
center button.
The Refill salt message is turned off if
you have programmed the dishwasher
to a water hardness below 4 °d
(4 gr/gal).
Immediately after each refill run
,
the Pre-wash or Short program
without a load in order to remove
any traces of salt from the cabinet.
20
Rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on
dishes and glassware and speeds up
the drying process.
The rinse aid is filled into the reservoir
and the set amount will be
automatically dispensed.
Use rinse aid only. Never fill the
,
rinse aid reservoir with regular
dishwashing detergent or cleaning
agent. This will damage the rinse aid
reservoir.
Adding rinse aid
Before using for the first time
Pour rinse aid into the reservoir until it
^
is visible in the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds
approximately 3.7 fl. oz. (110 ml).

reservoir during the wash program.
^
Press the button on top of the rinse
aid reservoir in the direction of the
arrow. The cover will pop open.
^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid to
prevent over-foaming during the next
wash program.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
to optimize the results (see "Settings
- Rinse aid").

Loading the dishwasher
Tips:
Remove coarse food residues from the
dishware.
There is no need to rinse items before
loading into the dishwasher.
Do not wash items soiled with
,
ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in
the dishwasher.
These materials damage the
dishwasher.
All items can be placed anywhere in
the baskets. However, note the
following:
– Do not place dishes or cutlery inside
other pieces. They will cover each
other.
– Load dishes so that water can reach
all the surfaces. This ensures that the
items will be properly cleaned!
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
Concave items such as mugs or
–
bowls should be placed at an angle
so that the water can run off.
Ensure that the spray arms are not
–
blocked by items that are too tall or
that hang through the baskets.
Check clearance by manually
rotating the spray arms.
Place very small items such as lids in
–
the cutlery tray or basket (depending
on the model) so they do not fall to
the bottom of the wash cabinet.
Some foods, e.g. carrots, tomatoes
and ketchup, may contain natural
dyes. Plastic items may discolor
permanently if they come in contact
with food dyes. This discoloration
does not affect the stability of the
plastic items.
–
Hollow items such as cups, glasses
and pots should be placed upside
down in the baskets.
–
Place tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g.
champagne glasses, in the center of
the basket rather than in the corners.
This ensures good water coverage.
22
Loading the dishwasher
Items not recommended for
dishwashing:
Wooden cutlery and dishes or items
–
with wooden parts: they discolor and
fade. In addition, the glue used in
these items is not dishwasher-proof.
Result: wooden handles may come
loose.
Hand-crafted items, antiques,
–
valuable vases and decorative
glassware: these items are not
dishwasher-proof.
Plastic items which are not heat
–
resistant: these items may become
deformed.
– Copper, brass, tin and aluminium
items: these may discolor or become
dull.
– Colors painted over a glaze: these
may fade after a number of washes.
– Fine glassware and crystal: they may
become cloudy over time.
We recommend:
When purchasing dishes and cutlery,
–
make sure they are dishwasher-safe.
Drinking glasses may become
–
cloudy over time. Fine glassware
should only be washed at low
temperatures (see "Program guide")
This reduces the risk of clouding.
Silver and aluminum:
Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
–
Silverware previously cleaned with a
–
silver polish may be damp or spotted
at the end of a program where water
has adhered to the polish. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an
immersion dip is usually dry at the
end of a program, but may tarnish.
– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, fish and marinades.
–
Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel.
Leave space between these metals
,
Aluminum components
(e.g. grease filters) must not be
washed with caustic alkaline
commercial or industrial cleaning
agents in the dishwasher. These
may damage the material. In
extreme cases they can cause a
severe chemical reaction.
