Water hardness
The built-in water softener removes limescale from the water, enabling problem-free
cleaning. Automatic regeneration occurs at regular intervals, thus guaranteeing its effectiveness. After regeneration, the next programme starts by rinsing out the water softener by pumping water through it and draining simultaneously.
For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use with low water
hardness and 3in1 detergents.
The water hardness setting should agree with the local conditions. The water hardness
level is set at «Hardness level 2» at the factory. There are 5 water hardness levels
available.
For information on the level of water hardness in your area, visit
www.trinkwasser.ch or contact your local water authority.

Choice of detergent
Do not use washingup liquid as it can cause excessive
foaming, causing your appliance to malfunction.
Follow the instructions printed on the detergent package
carefully. Using too little detergent can cause damage to the
appliance.
䡲 Only use detergent specially formulated for dishwashers.
䡲 The detergent manufacturer’s advice centre will gladly help with any problems
(e.g. detergent dosage).
䡲 Tabs may not dissolve properly at a wash temperature of 55 °C or lower, affecting
the cleaning performance of the appliance.
Using combination cleaning products (3in1 tabs/powder)
If using so-called combination cleaning products, which should render the use of rinse
agent and regeneration salt superfluous, please observe the following tips:
䡲 If the refill indicator illuminates, the salt reservoir should still be filled.
䡲 Combination cleaning products are often made to work best with a particular pro-
gramme. If you would like to use such products, select the programme. With
very short programmes and intensive programmes they may sometimes fail to provide the desired cleaning effect.
䡲 Cleaning products that do not require the use of regeneration salt can only be used
within a certain range of water hardness.
䡲 Under certain conditions, the use of such products can leave whitish streaks or a
film on the dishes and rust marks on the cutlery. The drying result may be affected.
For complaints, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
䡲 If the washing and drying results are not satisfactory, use conventional cleaning
products. Refill the salt and rinse agent reservoirs.
䡲 We can provide no guarantee for any complaints in connection with the use of
such products.

Care and maintenance
General cleaning
Using the correct dosage of detergent will automatically clean the inside of the appliance. We recommend that the appliance be cleaned twice a year using dishwasher
cleaner, see the 'Accessories' section.
Follow the directions for use for dishwasher cleaner carefully. Most dishwasher cleaners work more effectively at higher temperatures. We therefore recommend using the programme for cleaning the appliance.
Cleaning the exterior of the appliance
Immediately wipe away any dirt or traces of detergent. Use a soft cloth dampened
with water and a little washing-up liquid to clean the surface (with metal surfaces rub
in the direction of the polish lines). Polish dry with a soft cloth. Avoid cleaning the surface of the appliance with abrasive or highly «acidic» detergent, stainless steel cleaner, all-purpose scouring pads, wire wool, etc. Doing so could damage the surface.
Do not leave any traces of cleaner or detergent on the surface.
A Using a damp cloth, clean the appliance door and operating panel and then
polish dry.
䡲 Washing-up liquid or glass cleaner are suitable for this purpose.
A From time to time, clean the seal and the edges of the appliance door.

Dishwashing tips
Table and kitchenware
Not all table and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
䡲 Handcrafted objects and wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to heat or de-
tergent suds should be cleaned by hand.
䡲 Decorative glass objects are not dishwasher safe – the decoration will wear off
over time.
䡲 Handcrafted pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
䡲 Objects made of silver, copper and tin have a tendency to discolour, turning
brown or black.
䡲 Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
䡲 Depending on the type of glassware and the detergent being used, permanent
clouding may result. Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.
䡲 Spots tend to form on aluminium. This can affect other items being washed (spots
on porcelain). Aluminium should therefore ideally be washed separately.
General tips
䡲 When loading, ensure glasses do not touch (prevents damage to the glasses and
water spots).
䡲 Do not overload the baskets.
䡲 Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the
opening facing downwards so that the water can drain off easily.
䡲 Save energy, water and detergent by loading the appliance to capacity.
䡲 When washing range hood grease filters use the maximum amount of detergent.
Select the programme.

Safety concept
Provided power is going to the appliance, the electronic control unit monitors the appliance. Any malfunction is indicated by fault and error messages.
Overflow protection
In the event of a power failure, the overflow protection sys
tem is rendered ineffective. Hence, the water tap should be
turned off during longer periods of nonuse.
The electronic control unit monitors the water level in the appliance. In the event of a
malfunction, the drain pump turns on, stopping the supply of water to the appliance.

Noise measurement
The measurement is to be carried out in accordance with the European Norm
EN 60704-2-3, section 6.1.3.
Please note the installation instructions accompanying the appliance.
A The appliance is to be installed in accordance with the accompanying installation-
instructions. In particular, for certain models it is important to secure the slide plate
to the floor.
A Feed the inlet and drain hose, as shown in the installation instructions, into the ad-
jacent niche.
A A 19 mm thick chipboard (density: > 750 kg/m³) is to be fitted as a decorative
plate on the door of the appliance in accordance with the accompanying installation instructions. The decorative plate should reach down to the floor, with a gap
of 1–2 mm for ventilation.
A To level out any unevenness between the test cabinet and the floor, seal any gaps
between the test cabinet and the floor. This will improve the reproducibility of the
measurement.
A Before conducting a noise emission test, the appliance door must be opened wide
and then closed again.
A As described in the norm, the measurement is to be carried out without detergent
and rinse agent. Rinse agent dosage should therefore be set to «1».
A Fill the salt reservoir with regeneration salt and then fill up with water.
A Set the water hardness setting in accordance with the operating instructions.
