In addition to the main programmes, two additional functions «Wash upper
basket only» and/or «Delayed start» may be selected.
The «Energy saver» function can only be selected in combination with the
// and programmes.
Function/SymbolUse
Energy saver
Wash upper
basket only
Delayed start
Reduces the wash temperature at the «Cleaning» stage of the programme by 5 °C, reducing energy consumption by about 10 % and providing gentle washing for glassware. Ideal for dishes which are lightly
soiled with low starch or low protein food.
Uses only the upper spray arm for washing. Load the upper basket only.
The wash programme can be delayed by between one hour and maximum 24 hours. The previous delayed start time will be shown.

… Programme overview
Fondue/Raclette programme
Uses
䡲 Removes cheese which tends to stubbornly stick to fondue and raclette
pans and dishes.
䡲 Removes food burned on to gratin dishes.
䡲 Can be used to clean all other dishes.
Tips for best results
䡲 Fondue pans made of enamelled metal or stoneware may be cleaned in
the appliance.
Fondue pans made of earthenware (red-brown colour) should not be
washed in the appliance as these absorb water.
A Place the fondue pan 1 facing downwards
so that the water can drain away.
1
Fondue pans with a large opening in the handle are suitable for washing in the appliance.
17
… Programme overview
A Load raclette dishes in the upper
basket as shown in the diagram.
Add about a tablespoon of detergent to the pre-rinsing compartment
in addition to the detergent in the detergent dispenser. This will improve the wash results for heavily burned-on food.
Use an aluminium heat distribution plate between the burner and the
fondue pan to protect the fondue pan and to help prevent food from
burning on.
The appliance cannot, however, remove very heavily burned-on food
completely.

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. Your appliance is equipped with an automatic
limescale sensor. Configuring the level of water hardness is therefore not necessary. The appliance will automatically start the regeneration process at the
right time. 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.
It is possible to change the settings based on the following water hardness
table.
For information on the level of water hardness in your area, visit
www.trinkwasser.ch or contact your local water authority.

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.
43
… Care and maintenance
Cleaning the filters
The filter system is comprised of a filter plate
1, a coarse filter with a foreign body trap 2 and
a fine filter 3. A blocked filter prevents the water from draining away and triggers a corresponding fault message, which is described in
the 'What to do if...' section. Therefore, periodically check and, if necessary, clean the filters.

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 detergent 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, turn-
ing 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, perma-
nent 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 glass-
es 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 de-
tergent. 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 system is
rendered ineffective. Hence, the water tap should be turned off during longer periods of non-use.
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 in-
stallation 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 adjacent niche.
A A 19 mm thick chipboard (density: >750 kg/m³) is to be fitted as a deco-
rative 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 de-
tergent and rinse agent. Rinse agent dosage should therefore be set to
«OFF».
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.
