Safety instructions
Delivery
Immediately check the packaging and
dishwasher for any damage which may
have been caused in transit. Do not use
a damaged appliance, but consult your
supplier.
Please dispose of packaging material
properly.
Installation
Install and connect the appliance
according to the installation and
assembly instructions.
The dishwasher must NOT be
connected to the power supply during
installation.
Ensure that the protective conductor
system of the domestic electricity
supply has been installed correctly.
Electrical connection conditions must
correspond with the specifications on
the rating plate of the dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is to be installed
in a high-sided unit, ensure that the unit
is attached properly and also at the
rear.
Built-under and built-in appliances
should always be installed under a
continuous work surface which is
attached to the adjacent cupboards, in
order to ensure that the appliance is
entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed,
the mains plug should still be easily
accessible.
Not on all models:
The plastic housing on the water input
contains an electrically operated valve.
The connecting wires are inside the
inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose
and do not immerse the plastic housing
in water.
Warning
For safety reasons, if the appliance is not
fitted in a recess, thereby making a side
wall accessible, the door hinge area
should be covered at the side.
(Risk of injury)
Covers are available as optional
accessories from customer services or
specialist stores.
In daily use
Warning
Knives and other sharp-pointed utensils
must be placed with the points down
in the cutlery basket or horizontally in
the utensils basket.
Use the dishwasher only in the
household and only for its designed
purpose, i.e. for washing domestic
dishes.
Do not lean or sit on the open door.
The appliance could tip.
Please note that free-standing
appliances may tip over if the baskets
are overloaded.
The water in the appliance is not
drinking water.
Do not add any solvents to the washing
chamber. Danger of explosion!
Open the door carefully when
the programme is still running. There
is a risk of hot water spraying out of
the appliance.
To prevent injuries, e.g. caused
by stumbling, open the dishwasher
only briefly in order to load and unload
the dishwasher.
Read and observe the safety
nformation and instructions for use on
the packaging for cleaning and rinsing
agents.

Children in the household
If fitted, use the childproof lock. An
exact description can be found in the
back of the envelope.
Do not allow children to play with
or operate the appliance.
Keep children away from detergents
and rinse aid. These may cause
chemical burns in the mouth, throat and
eyes or asphyxiation.
Keep children away from an open
dishwasher. There could still be
detergent residue inside.
If the appliance is installed at eye-level,
ensure when opening and closing the
door that children are not caught
or crushed between the appliance door
and the cupboard door situated below.
Damage
The appliance may be repaired and
opened up by a technician only. First
disconnect the appliance from the
power supply. Pull out the mains plug
(do not tug the power cord!) or switch
off the fuse. Turn off the tap.
Disposal
Make redundant appliances unusable
to prevent subsequent accidents.
Dispose of the appliance in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Warning
Children could get locked in the appliance
(risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other
positions.
Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the
mains wire and set aside. Damage the
door lock so that the door can no longer
be closed.
Before using for the first time
The appliance was checked before it left
the works. In order to remove possible
water test remains, use the appliance for
the first time without any dishes, using
the highest temperature. Also fill salt, rinse
aid and detergent in the filling
compartments.

Water softener
In order to rinse dishes and glasses
satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft
water, i.e. containing little or no lime,
otherwise water stains will be left behind
on crockery and glasses, etc.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e.
decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt
to the water softener inside the
dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how
hard the tap water is.
Setting up the water softener
Determine the level of hardness of your
tap water. Your local water company or
service agent can help you with this.
Identify setting from the following water
hardness table.
Close the door
Rotate the programme selector
3
from the 12 o’clock position by one
notch to the left.
Switch on main switch
1
and hold
down for at least 3 sec.
The display

flashes and the lamps
above the symbols and light up.
(hardness value has been set to 2
at the factory).
To change the setting: Rotate the
programme selector
3
.
You can select a set value between
0 and 3 according to the hardness
of your water.
If the lamps , and light up,
the maximum set hardness value
has been reached. If the set hardness
value is now increased again, the
lamps go out and the set hardness
value is set to 0 (no lamp lights up).
Switch off the main switch
1
.
The chosen setting has now been
stored.

Filling the salt dispenser
Salt must always be filled before the
appliance is switched on, so that excess
salt solution is immediately flushed away
to prevent corrosion.
Open the screw-type cap of the
compartment 27 .
Before using the appliance for the first
time, pour about 1 litre of water in the
salt container.
Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)
until the salt container is full
(max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,
water is being displaced and drains off.
* some models
The LOW SALT indicator
9
on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
If the set hardness value is ”0”, do not
add salt because no salt is used during
operation; the salt refill indicator
is switched off.
Warning
Do not pour detergent into the container
for special salt. This would destroy the
water softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator
9
is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.
en

Adding rinse aid
The rinse aid is required for stain-free
utensils and clear glasses.
Use only rinse aid for domestic
dishwashers.
Open the cover on the rinse-aid
dispenser 30 . To do this, press the
mark (1 ) on the cover and
simultaneously lift the cover on the
control plate (2 ).
Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just
below the edge of the filler opening.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
To prevent excessive foam formation
during the next rinse cycle, remove any
rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
Adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid
The amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the
stepless control. The rinse-aid control has
been set to ”4” in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)
are left on the dishes.

Utensils
Not suitable
Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
Fragile decorative glasses,
hand-crafted and antique utensils.
These decorative items are not
dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash,
wax, lubricating grease or ink.
Absorbent materials such as sponges
and cloths.
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.
Recommendation:
In future buy utensils which are identified
as dishwasher-proof.
Damage to glassware and other
dishes
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of
dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that
have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’
by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described
as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek
further information from detergent
manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a
temperature and as short a duration as
possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme has
ended.
Loading the dishwasher
It is not necessary to rinse them off
under running water.
When loading the dishwasher, ensure
that
Dall utensils are secure and cannot
fall over.
Dthe openings of all receptacles are
face down.
Dcurved or indented utensils are at
an incline, allowing water to drain.
Dthe two spray arms can rotate freely.
Very small items should not be washed in
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top
basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the top basket.
