Installation

• Any electrical work required to install this ap­pliance must be carried out by a qualified electri­cian / competent person.

• Any plumbing work required to install this ap­pliance must be carried out by a qualified plumber
/ competent person.

• Before using your dishwasher for the first time, en­sure that the nominal voltage and current indicated
on the rating plate are the same as the nominal vol­tage and current available at the installation loca­tion. The necessary electrical fusing is indicated
on the rating plate.

• Do not install the appliance where it could be expo­sed to extreme temperatures, either hot or cold.

Correct Use

• Only use the dishwasher for the cleaning of house­hold crockery . If the appliance is used for purposes
for which it is not intended, or is operated incor­rectly, the manufacturer will decline liability for any
damage.

Child safety

• Packaging parts (e.g., foil, styrene foam) may be
dangerous for children, due to the danger of suffo­cation! Keep all packaging away from children.

• Children may not recognise the dangers of the im­proper use of electrical appliances. Always ensure
the necessary supervision during operation of the
appliance, do not allow your children to play with
the dishwasher - there is the danger that children
could lock themselves inside it, or could injure
themselves.

• If this appliance is installed in a raised position (i.e.
in column), always ensure that childrens’ fingers
are are kept away from the door as they could be­come trapped when the door is closed.

• Rinsing agents can cause burning in the eyes,
mouth and throat, and may even cause suffoca­tion! Keep all detergents in a safe place out of chil­dren’s’ reach.

• The water in the dishwasher should not be used for
drinking. Detergent residues in the appliance
could cause burning! Keep children away from the
appliance when the door is open.

• Our guarantee is only valid if these operating in­structions and installation instructions are obser­ved.

• Modifications or changes to the dishwasher are
not permitted for reasons of safety.

Before using the dishwasher
for the first time

• Check your dishwasher for any transport damage.
Never connect a damaged appliance. If your dish­washer has been damaged, contact your supplier.

• The dishwasher must be correctly installed and
connected. The installation instructions give all the
information that is necessary for this.

4

During Use

• The water protection system ensures reliable pro­tection against water damage if the following
conditions are fulfilled:

- The mains connection must remain connected

even when the dishwasher is switched off.

- The dishwasher must be properly installed

- Always turn off the water taps when the dish-

washer is left unattended for longer periods.

• Never use the dishwasher if there any signs of da­mage to the mains lead, the supply or drain hoses,
the operating panel or the lower section.

• If there is a fault, switch off the appliance and dis­connect from the mains supply. Close the water
tap.

• Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by the
cable, but by the plug itself.

• Place long, pointed objects (such as knives) with
the handle to the front in the upper basket.

• After filling or emptying the appliance, ensure that
you have properly closed the door. An open door
can be a source of danger.

• Never sit or stand on the open door.

• Dishwasher repairs must only be carried out by

trained personnel. Improper repairs may seriously
endanger the user. If your dishwasher is in need of
repair, contact your local Service Force Centre.

• If the mains cable of your dishwasher is damaged,
it must only be replaced by a special cable of the
same type available from your local Service Force
Centre. It must only be fitted by qualified person­nel.

• Do not place solvents in the dishwasher due to the
danger of explosion.

• Before using special dishwasher salt, detergents
and rinse aids, ensure that the manufacturer of
these products expressly specifies their use in do­mestic dishwashers.

• Always turn off the water taps when your dishwas­her is left unattended for longer periods, e.g., when
you are away on holiday.

• If the connected appliance is exposed to tempera­tures below freezing point, it must be correctly drai­ned by customer service.

• There is no danger of freezing during delivery from
the factory!

Important Information

Keep these operating instructions carefully near the
appliance, so that they are always at hand.

If you should sell or pass on the appliance to third par­ties, ensure that you hand over the appliance complete
with this leaflet, so that the new user can inform himself
about the working of the appliance.

The following articles are only suitable for washing in
the dishwashers if they are specifically sold as ”dish­washer proof”:

• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles, with glued
parts, bronze cutlery, pans with wooden handles,
articles made from aluminium, copper, crystal, lea­ded glass and plastic. In case of doubt, consult the
manufacturer of the corresponding article.

• Silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery must be
separated in the cutlery basket. If the two materials
come into contact, a chemical reaction can occur
which can lead to discoloration of the silver.

• The door of the appliance should not be opened
while it is in operation. The steam that would
escape can condense on the furniture parts loca­ted above the appliance, and, over time, could
cause damage. If the door is accidentally opened,
a safety device switches the dishwasher off.

Installation

• In areas with hard water and on newly developed
estates, we recommend that you install a water fil­ter directly near the supply tap. The water filter re­duces wear in your dishwasher and can be easily
cleaned. Ask your plumber to fit such a filter.

In daily use

Clean and care for your appliance regularly. In this way
you will avoid costly service work. For more informa­tion, refer to the Cleaning chapter.

• Do not use any hand or commercial rinsing
agents or cleaners.

• If the dishwasher is left unattended for longer
periods, e.g., when you are on holiday, close the
water taps. Ensure that the appliance is discon­nected from the mains supply.

General Hints

Washing economically and
with regard to the environ−
ment

• Only connect your dishwasher to a cold water sup­ply.

• Do not pre-rinse your dishes under running water.

• If you make use of the full capacity of your dishwas-

her, you will be washing economically and with re­gard to the environment.

• Always select a wash programme suitable to the
type of crockery being washed and to the level of
soiling (see ”Programme Overview”).

• Never over o r underdose detergent, special salt or
rinse aid. Follow the dosage recommendations in
these operating instructions , and the instructions
provided by the manufacturers of these products.

• Ensure that the water softener is correctly set.

Unsuitable crockery

The following items are unsuitable for your dishwasher

- wooden boards or breakfast platters

- non heat-resistant plastic parts

- lead crystal glass

- tin and copper items

- glued crockery or cutlery

- older cutlery with temperature-sensitive adhesive

- steel parts that are liable to rust

- cutlery with wood, horn, porcelain and mother-of­pearl handles

- artistic objects

7

Crockery that may be suitable

There are limitations for the following parts

- Only wash earthenware crockery in the dishwas­her if the manufacturer has expressly indicated
that it is suitable.

- Some glazed finishes may fade after frequent ma­chine washing.

- Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during
machine washing. Many food residues such as
egg white, egg yolk, mustard often cause discolou­ration and/or staining on silver. Food residues
should be cleaned from crockery or cutlery straight
away if it i s not going to be washed immediately a f­ter a meal.

- Some types of glass may become cloudy after
many washing cycles.

When buying new crockery, glasses and cutlery, con­firm that they are dishwasher-proof.

Disposal

Packaging

Our dishwashers require effective protective packa­ging in transit. In doing this, however, we limit oursel­ves to what is absolute necessary .

Warning! Packaging parts (e.g., foil, styrene
foam) can be dangerous for children due to the
danger of suffocation! Keep packaging parts
away from children.

All packaging materials used are environmentally­friendly and reusable.

The cardboard parts are made from recycled paper,
and the wooden parts are untreated. The plastics are
marked as follows:

«PE» for polyethylene, e.g., packaging foil
«PS» for polystyrene, e.g., padding (basically

CFC-free)

«POM»for polyoxymethylene, e.g., plastic clamps
By the recycling and reuse of packaging, raw materials

can be saved, and the volume of waste reduced.
Give the packaging to your local recycling centre for

reuse. Your municipal or local authority will give you
the address.

Old appliances

When your appliance needs replacing, or is withdrawn
from service, you should render it unserviceable be­fore having disposing of it.

Warning! Children at play could lock themsel­ves inside your appliance (danger of suffoca­tion) or otherwise endanger themselves. Al­ways therefore pull out the mains plug. Cut
through and discard the mains cable. Disable

the door lock so that the door no longer closes.
Marking of plastic parts for graded recycling:
All plastic parts in your appliance are marked with in-

ternationally standardised abbreviations (e.g., «PS»
for polystyrene). When you dispose of your machine,
this enables the plastic waste to be sorted into graded
plastic balls for environmentally-conscious recycling.

Take your old appliance to your local recycling centre.
Your local Council or Environmental Health Office will
advise you of your nearest recycling centre.

Setting the special salt
dosage

The dosage of special salt for the water softening must
be set to the corresponding hardness of the water. If
the dosage is too small, scale particles will remain on
the crockery and cutlery. Information regarding the wa­ter hardness and the hardness areas in the area in
which you live can be obtained from the local Water
Authority.

For a water hardness under 5dH, no special salt is nee­ded. In this case, the salt display (9) is continually illu­minated.

Set up the dosage as follows:

Turn the setting button using a coin or a screwdriver
(Size 4) until the arrow on the knob points to the desi­red number (1 to 5):

The arrow must point to a number and the posi­tion must be engaged positively.

- Salt consumption: Depending on the setting 1 kg

salt is sufficient for
