) must be softened.
The water is softened with salt
(regeneration salt) in the water softening
system of the dishwasher.
The setting and therefore the required
amount of salt depends on the degree
of hardness of your tap water (see table).
Set
The amount of salt dispensed can be set

Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder
or liquid detergents for dishwashers,
but never use washing up liquid. Tablets
contain not only detergent but also
rinse-aid and salt (3in1) and, depending
on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.),
additional components such as glass
protection or stainless steel cleaner.
If tablets contain rinse-aid and salt, it is
usually not necessary to add additional
rinse-aid and salt up to a specific degree
of hardness. If the degree of hardness is
higher and if using solo detergents
(powder or liquid detergents or tablets
without rinse-aid and salt) rinse-aid and
salt must be added. The appliance doses
these automatically according to the
preset values for water hardness and
amount of rinse-aid.
As soon as combined detergent
products are used, the rinse
programme is adjusted automatically
to ensure the best possible rinsing and
drying result.
Tip
Follow the instructions for use or the
instructions on the detergent packaging
to ensure that rinse-aid and salt are used
effectively.
If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent
manufacturers’ helpline.
Detergent dispenser
with dosing aid
The graduated detergent dispenser
30
helps you add the correct amount of
powder or liquid detergent:
lower line: 15 ml
middle line: 25 ml
full: 50 ml
Adding detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser 30
(insert tablet flat, not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
Close the cover on the detergent
dispenser by sliding it up until the lock
engages without difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens
automatically at the optimum time
depending on the programme.
The powder or liquid detergent
is distributed in the appliance and
is dissolved, the tablet falls into the
tablet collecting tray where it dissolves
in doses.
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled,
slightly less than the indicated amount
of detergent is usually adequate.
Page 13
en
13
Warnings
Do not place small parts for washing
in the tablet collecting tray
22 ; this
prevents the tablet from dissolving
evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after
the programme has started, do not
use the tablet collecting tray
22
as a handle for the upper basket.
The tablet could already be there and
you will touch the partially dissolved
tablet.
Note
You will obtain optimum rinsing and
drying results by using solo detergents
and applying salt and rinse-aid
separately.
f programmes are short, tablets may not
have full cleaning effect due to different
dissolving properties and there may
even be undissolved detergent residue.
It is recommended to use washing
powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some
models) requires one tab only. When
using washing powder, you can apply
some of this cleaning agent to the
inside of the appliance’s door.
Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme will
run correctly if combined detergents
are used (when using combined
detergents, add rinse-aid at a water
hardness above 21 _dH – see chapter
entitled “Rinse-aid”).
If you switch from combined detergents
to solo detergents, ensure that the
water softening system and amount
of rinse-aid have been set to the correct
value.

can be set with the
buttons.
Saving time (VarioSpeed)
*
The >>Save time<< function can reduce
the running time by approx. 20% to 50%
depending on the selected rinse
programme. The change in the running
time is indicated on the digital display
9
.
To obtain optimum cleaning and drying
results at a reduced running time, water
and energy consumption are increased.
Half load
*
If you have only a few items to wash (e.g.
glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to
“half load”. This will save water, energy
and time. It is recommended to put a little
less detergent in the detergent dispenser
than for a full load.
Hygiene
*
The temperature is increased during
the rinsing process. This increases the
hygiene status. This additional option
is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards
and baby bottles.
IntensiveZone
*
Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash
very soiled pots and pans in the lower
basket together with normally soiled
utensils in the upper basket. The spray
pressure in the lower basket is intensified,
the rinsing temperature is increased
slightly.

Washing the dishes
Programme data
The programme data (consumption
values) can be found in the summary
of instructions. They refer to normal
conditions and the water hardness set
value
. Different influencing factors
such as water temperature or line
pressure may result in deviations.
Aqua sensor
*
* depending on model
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring
device (light barrier) which measures the
turbidity of the rinsing water.
The Aqua sensor is used according to the
programme. If the Aqua sensor is active,
“clean” rinsing water can be transferred to
the next rinse bath and water consumption
can be reduced by 3–6 litres. If the
turbidity is greater, the water is drained
and is replaced with fresh water. In the
automatic programmes the temperature
and running time can also be adjusted
to the degree of soiling.

Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance of
your machine will help to prevent faults.
This saves time and prevents problems.
Overall condition
of the machine
Check spray arm for grease and
limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill detergent dispenser with detergent.
Start the appliance without utensils in
the programme with the highest rinsing
temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/
appliance cleaners which are particularly
suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly clean door seal with a damp
cloth.
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 fascia with a damp cloth; water and
a little washing up liquid are adequate.
Do not use sponges with a rough surface
or abrasive detergents, as these could
scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent
corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or
wash them out thoroughly several times
before using for the first time.
Warning
Never use other chlorinated household
detergents! Health hazard!
Salt and rinse-aid
Check the refill indicators
4
and
5
.
If required, refill salt and/or rinse-aid.
Filters
The filters 26 keep large foreign objects
in the rinsing water away from the pump.
These foreign objects may occasionally
block the filters.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter,
a flat fine filter and a microfilter.
After each washing cycle check the
filters for residue.
Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated
and take out filter system.
Remove any residue and clean filters
under running water.
Re-install filter system in reverse
sequence and ensure that the arrow
marks are opposite each other after
closing the filter system.

Spray arms
Limescale and contaminants in the rinsing
water may block nozzles and bearings on
the spray arms
23 and 24 .
Check outlet nozzles on the spray arms
for blockages.
Unscrew the upper spray arm 23 .
Remove the lower spray arm 24
upwards.
Clean spray arms under running water.
Re-engage or screw on spray arms.

not retained by the filters may block the
waste water pump. The rinsing water is
then not pumped out and covers the filter.
In this case:
First disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Remove the filters 26 .
Scoop out water, use a sponge
if required.
Using a spoon, prise off pump cover
(as illustrated) until it clicks, then grip
the cover by the lug and first pull it
upwards until it resists and then pull
it out forwards.
Check inner compartment and remove
any foreign objects.
