Water softening system
To ensure good washing results, the
dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.
containing low amounts of lime, otherwise
white limescale will be deposited on the
utensils and inner container.
Tap water above 9° Clarke (from set value
•:‹‚) 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).
Setting
The amount of salt dispensed can be set
from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.
Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.
– Find out about the hardness value of
your tap water. Your water utility
company will help you with this.
– Set value can be found in the water
hardness table.
– Close the door.
–Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
– Hold down programme button # and
press START button H until •:‹.... is
indicated on the digital display.
– Release both buttons.
The LED for button # flashes and the
digital display h displays the factory
setting •:‹….
To change the setting:
– Press programme button 3.
Each time the button is pressed, the
set value increases by one level; when
the value of •:‹ˆ has been reached,
the display jumps back to •:‹‹ (off).
–Press START buttonH.
The chosen setting has now been
stored.

softening system.
– To prevent corrosion, always refill with
salt immediately before switching on
the appliance.
* depending on model
Using detergents with salt
component
If combined detergents with a salt
component are used, salt can usually be
omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH
(37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the
water hardness is over 21° dH, special
salt must be used.
7
en
Rinse aid %
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator `
is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid
reserve of 1 – 2 rinsing processes. Refill
with rinse aid.
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse
aid for domestic dishwashers.
Combined detergents with rinse-aid
component may be used up to a water
hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke,
3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is
over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.
–Open the dispenser 1Z by pressing

Utensils
Not suitable
– Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
– Delicate decorative glasses, craft and
antique utensils. These decors are not
dishwasher-proof.
– Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
–Copper and tin utensils.
– Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax,
lubricating grease or ink.
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.
Glass and utensil damage
Causes:
– Glass type and glass production
process.
– Chemical composition of the detergent.
– Water temperature of the wash
programme.
Recommendation:
– Use only glasses and porcelain which
the manufacturer designates as
dishwasher-proof.
– Use a detergent which protects
utensils.
– Take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher as soon as possible after
the programme ends.
Unloading the dishwasher
To prevent water from dripping off the
upper basket onto the utensils in the lower
basket, it is recommended to empty
the appliance from the bottom up.
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!
Therefore, when the programme ends,
leave the utensils to cool down in the
dishwasher until they can be handled.
Cups and glasses
Top basket 1"
Pans
Bottom basket 1R
Loading the dishwasher
– Remove large food remnants. It is not
necessary to prerinse utensils under
running water.
– Place the utensils so that
– they are secure and cannot tip over.
– all utensils with their openings face
down.
– parts with curves or indentations
are at an angle, thereby allowing
water to drain.
– does not obstruct rotation of the
two spray arms 1* and 12.
Very small utensils should not be washed
in the machine, as they may fall out of the
baskets.
9
en
Tip
Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should
be placed in the bottom basket. The more
powerful spray jet provides a better
dishwashing result.
Cutlery basket
You should always place cutlery unsorted
with the points downwards.
Folding spikes *
* depending on model
The spikes can be folded down to improve
arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.

en
Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but
never use washing up liquid. The dosage
can be individually adjusted with powder
or a liquid detergent according
to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain
an adequately large amount of active
ingredients for all cleaning tasks. Modern,
powerful detergents predominantly
use a low-alkaline formulation with
phosphate and enzymes. Phosphates
bond the lime in the water. Enzymes break
down starch and remove protein.
Phosphate-free detergents are less
frequent. These have a slightly weaker
lime bonding capacity and require
a higher dosage. To remove coloured
stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygenbased bleaching agents are usually used.
Note
To ensure a good washing result, always
follow the instructions on the detergent
packaging!
If you have further questions,
we recommend that you contact
the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
Adding detergent
– If the detergent dispenser 1b is still
closed, press the lock 1j to open the
detergent dispenser.
Pour detergent into the dry detergent
dispenser 1b only (insert tablet flat,
not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
The graduated detergent
dispenser 1b helps you add the
correct amount of powder or liquid
detergent.
50 ml
25 ml
15 ml
– Close the cover on the detergent
dispenser by sliding it up until the lock
engages without difficulty.
ã=Warning
Read and observe the safety information
and instructions for use on the packaging
for cleaning and rinsing agents.
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
appliance and dissolves.
11
en
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly
less than the indicated amount
of detergent is usually adequate.
Suitable detergents and care products
can be purchased online via our website
or via customer service (see back page).
Combination detergent
Apart from conventional detergents (Solo),
a number of products are offered with
additional functions. These products
contain not only the detergent but also
rinse-aid and salt replacement substances
(3in1) and, depending on the combination
(4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components
such as glass protection or stainless steel
cleaner. Combination detergents function
only up to a specific degree of hardness
(usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and
rinse-aid must be added.
As soon as combined detergents
are used, the rinse programme is adjusted
automatically to ensure the best possible
rinsing and drying result.
Notes
– You will obtain optimum rinsing
and drying results by using solo
detergents and applying salt and rinse
aid separately.
– If programmes are short, tablets
ma y not ha v e full cl eaning effect due to
different dissolving properties
and there may even be undissolved
detergent residue. It is recommended
to use washing powder for these
programmes.
– Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme will
run correctly with combined
detergents.
– If using detergents in a water-soluble
protective cover: Take hold of the
cover with dry hands only and put
the detergent into an absolutely
dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise
the detergent may stick.
– 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.

The temperature is increased during the
cleaning process. This increases the
hygiene status. This additional option is
ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards
and baby bottles.
Ï Intensive zone *
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.
¿ Extra drying *
An increased temperature during the final
rinse and an extended drying phase
ensure that even plastic parts dry better.
There is a slight increase in the energy
consumption.
Programme data
