Safety precautions

The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stand
ards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the
appliance is however essential to avoid damage and acci
dents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these
operating instructions.

In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:

䡲 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un­less supervised or unless they have been given instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Before using for the first time

䡲 The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accord-

ance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be car­ried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.

䡲 Fill the salt reservoir of the water softener with approximately 1.5 l water and 1 kg

regeneration salt.

䡲 Mix the salt solution well using a wooden spoon.

For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use with low
water hardness and 3in1detergents.

䡲 It is advisable to run a wash programme without any dishes ( programme with

detergent) in order to remove traces of grease left behind from the manufacturing
process.

The appliance was tested with water before being shipped. There may there­fore still be traces of water left in the appliance.

… Safety precautions

Correct use

䡲 The appliance is only suitable for washing household dishes and cutlery with water

and standard dishwasher detergent. It is designed for use in the home and the
above-mentioned purpose only. No liability is assumed for any damage caused
by improper or incorrect use.

䡲 Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-

trical parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services
or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause serious
injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as affect the functioning of

䡲 Use original accessories and spare parts only.
䡲 Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appli-

ance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the

… Safety precautions

Children in the home

䡲 Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Dan-

ger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.

䡲 The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating

instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of electrical appli­ances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appli­ance – there is a danger that children could get locked inside.

䡲 The water in the appliance is not to be used as drinking water. Detergent residue

in the appliance could cause eye or skin irritation! Keep children away from open
appliance.

䡲 Detergents can irritate the eyes, mouth and throat and even cause choking! Keep

detergents, regeneration salt and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

䡲 Use the childproof locking facility.

7

… Safety precautions

Note on use

Switching off the power to the appliance disables the builtin
overflow protection system.

䡲 Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or any of the connections are dam-

aged. Contact Customer Services.

䡲 In the event of any defects or faults, contact Customer Services.
䡲 If the appliance is not operating properly, turn off the water tap and disconnect the

appliance from the electricity supply immediately.

䡲 Do not sit or lean on the appliance door. After loading or unloading the appliance,

do not leave the appliance door open as it can pose a risk – danger of tripping
and bruising!

䡲 Due to risk of injury, place knives and cutlery with sharp edges or points into the

cutlery basket in such a way that they do not stick out (points facing downwards).
Knives and cutlery may also be placed horizontally in the upper basket.

䡲 Do not lean on the upper basket – risk of accident!
䡲 Keep animals away from the appliance.
䡲 To protect your dishes and cutlery, read the 'Dishwashing tips' section.
䡲 Only use detergent, rinse agent and regeneration salt explicitly recommended for

use with your appliance by the manufacturer in the operating instructions. Follow
the directions for use carefully.

䡲 Do not use the appliance without any or too little detergent – risk of causing dam-

age to the appliance.

䡲 Do not use washing-up liquid as it can cause excessive foaming, causing your ap-

pliance to malfunction.

䡲 Store detergent and regeneration salt in a cool, dry place. Lumpy detergent can

cause problems. Please follow the safety warnings issued by the detergent and
rinse agent manufacturers carefully.

8

… Safety precautions

䡲 Never fill the rinse agent reservoir or the regeneration salt reservoir with detergent.

If this were to happen, however, do not operate the appliance under any circum­stances, as this could cause expensive damage to it. Please contact our service
centre, which can be found in the 'Repair service' section.

䡲 After filling the salt reservoir, run the «Pre-rinsing» programme.
䡲 Do not wash objects that are soiled with inflammable or corrosive solvent, paint,

wax, chemicals (acids or bases) or iron chippings or that can shed fibres in the
appliance.

䡲 Do not use solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine) instead of, or in addition to, water

in the appliance – fire or explosion hazard!

䡲 Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme ensure that there are

no foreign objects or pets in the appliance. Foreign objects which can rust, such
as nails and paper clips, can damage parts of the appliance as well as the dishes.

䡲 Avoid opening the appliance door during operation. The dishes and water may

be hot – scalding hazard! The steam that escapes can damage wood combina­tion fascias. Spectacles can steam up, impairing your vision.

䡲 Do not leave the premises for a longer period of time when the appliance is in

operation.

䡲 During longer absences, always turn off the water tap before cutting the power

going to the appliance by pulling out the plug or switching off the fuse. Never pull
the plug out of the mains socket by the cable. The mains socket and the water con­nection are generally located in the cabinet adjacent to the appliance (under the
kitchen sink, behind the waste bin).

䡲 Do not spray the outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam cleaner.
䡲 From time to time, check the drain hose for tears, kinks, twists, bends, etc.

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.

A Hold the button depressed for 5 seconds (to enter the configuration mode).

– The indicator light for the button flashes.

A Press the button 1×.
