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.

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 24 .
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.
The LOW SALT indicator 8 on the front
panel will light up initially but will extinguish

Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator 8 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.
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 29 . 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.

en
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.

If using detergent products with integrated
rinse aid, the rinse-aid refill indicator
can be switched off (see “Switching
the rinse-aid refill indicator off and on”
in the “auto 3in1” chapter).
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.

upper edge to prevent it from falling
down.
Detergent
You can use commercially available liquid
or powder proprietary detergents for
dishwashers or TABS (do not use
handwash!).
If phosphate-free detergents are used with
hard tap water, white deposits may be
deposited more easily on utensils and
the container walls. This can be remedied
by adding more detergent.
See detergent packaging to determine
whether a detergent is suitable for silver
parts.
If you have any other questions, we
recommend that you contact the helplines
of the detergent manufacturers.
Detergent dispenser with
dosing aid
To raise the basket, hold the basket on
the sides of the upper edge and lift it
up.
Before re-inserting the basket again,
ensure that it is at the same height
on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance
door cannot be closed and the upper
spray arm will not be connected to
the water circuit.
The graduated detergent dispenser helps
you pour in the correct amount.
Lower line:
15 ml
Middle line:

closed, press the lock 28 to open the
detergent dispenser.
Adding detergent
Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent.
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
Note
The cleaning tabs from various
manufacturers exhibit differing dissolving
properties, so washing power may not
develop fully during short programmes and
there may be undissolved cleaning agent
residue. It is recommended to use
washing powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some
models) requires one tab only. When using
washing powder, you can apply some
of this cleaning agent to the inside of
the appliance’s door.

Reduce costs!
If your dishes are only moderately dirty,
you may be able to use less detergent
than recommended.
Close the lid on the detergent
compartment.
Press down the lid (1) until it clicks
shut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form,
read the manufacturer’s
recommendations on the packaging in
order to
determine where the tablets should be
placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in
cutlery basket, detergent compartment,
etc.).
Make sure that the lid on the detergent
compartment is closed, even if you are
using tablets.
The use of so-called combined detergent
products may make the use of rinse aid
and/or salt unnecessary.
There are currently several types of
combined detergent products available.
2in1: They contain detergent and rinse
aid or salt function.
3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid
and salt function.
4in1: They contain a detergent,
rinse-aid, salt function and an additional
glass protection component.
In addition, other combined products with
a comparable effect are offered according
to the manufacturer.
>>> Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you
are using!
Always follow the operating instructions
or the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automatically
adjusted in order to obtain the best
possible rinsing and drying result.
Observe the following important
information if using combined cleaning
products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to
a water hardness of 21_ dH (37_ fH,
26_ Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water
hardness is above 21_ dH (37_ fH,
26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt 24 and select
setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent
manufacturer, especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end
of the programme.
limescale forms.
13
en
Note
Optimum rinsing and drying results can be
obtained by using standard detergents in
conjunction with separate application of
salt and rinse aid.
Observance of the operating instructions
or information on the packaging of the
combined detergents determines their
effectiveness.
Note
Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs
correctly when 3in1 products are used.
If the rinse aid refill indicator 9 or salt
refill 8 indicator is defective and you
would like to switch it off, proceed as
follows:
Switching the rinse aid refill
indicator off and on
You can switch the rinse aid refill indicator
9 on or off. This function can be

Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be
identified by comparing the type of
crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as the
amount and condition of food remains,
with the details contained in the
programme overview.
If the turbidity is greater, the water is
drained and is replaced with fresh water. In
this way water consumption can be
reduced by approx. 4 litres.
Switching the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch 1 to ON.
Indicators light up according to the last
programme that was selected.
This same programme will run again if
no other programme button 6 is
pressed.
The numerical display 3 shows the
expected duration of the programme.
The programme starts automatically.
You will find the appropriate programme
information in the introduction.

Your dishes are being cleaned.
Programme specifications
The programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions.
Programme specifications refer to normal
conditions. Greater deviations may occur
due to:
varying amounts of dishes
water supply temperature
water pipe pressure
ambient temperature
mains voltage tolerances
and the tolerances specific
to the appliance (e.g. temperature,
amount of water, etc.)
The water consumption values refer
to a set water hardness value of 4.
Your dishes are being rinsed.
Your dishes are being dried.
Remaining running time display
When the appliance has started, the
expected programme running time is
displayed. The programmed running time
is affected by the water temperature, the
number of dishes, as well as the degree
of soiling. If these conditions are changed,
the running time (depending on the
selected programme) can vary greatly.
As the effect is not detected until a
programme is running, the time may
be longer or shorter than expected.
Aqua sensor *
Time delay
* some models
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring
device (light barrier) which measures
the turbidity of the rinsing water.
The Aqua sensor is used according
to the programme. When the Aqua sensor

bowls, etc., can be soaked and prerinsed
in the bottom basket.
It is recommended to put approx. 5 g of
detergent on the door.
Saving time (VarioSpeed) *
The >>Save time<< function can reduce
the running time by approx. 20% to 50%
depending on the selected rinse
programme. The particular change in
the running time is indicated on the time
remaining display. To obtain optimum
cleaning and drying results at a reduced
running time, water and energy
consumption are increased.
Half load*
If you have only a few items to wash (e.g.
glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to
“Half load”. The “half load” additional
function saves water, energy and time. It is
recommended to put a little less detergent
in the detergent dispenser than for a full
load.
Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance of
your machine will help to prevent faults.
This saves time and prevents problems.
Overall condition of the
machine
Check washing chamber for grease
and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with
detergent, start the appliance without
utensils in the programme which has
the highest wash temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/
appliance cleaners which are particularly
suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly wipe the door seal with a
damp cloth.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your
dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable
for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance
and panel with a damp cloth; water and
a little washing-up liquid will suffice.
Do not use sponges with a rough surface
or abrasive detergents, as these could
scratch the surfaces.
Attention!
Never use other chlorinated household
detergents! Health hazard!
Salt and rinse aid
Check the refill indicators 8
9 .
If required, top up the salt and/or rinse
aid.
Filters
The filters 25 prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside
the pump. This residue can occasionally
clog up the filters.
The filter system consists of a filter
cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on
the model, a microfilter (*).

resolve most problems that arise during
normal daily usage yourself, without
having to call out a service engineer. Not
only does this save costs, but it also
means that the appliance is available for
use again that much sooner. The following
list of common occurrences and their
remedies should help you identify the
causes of most problems.
Problems ...

General
Built-under and integrated appliances
which are subsequently installed as
free-standing appliances must be
secured to prevent them from falling
over, e.g. by screwing them to the wall
or by installing them under a continuous
worktop which is screwed to the
adjoining units.
For Swiss version only:
The appliance can be installed without
difficulty between wooden and plastic
walls in a kitchen range. If the appliance
is not connected via a plug, the
installation side must feature an all-pole
disconnector with a contact gap of at
least 3 mm in order to satisfy the
relevant safety regulations.
23
en
Installation
The dishwasher must be connected by
a qualified technician to ensure correct
operation. The specifications for supply,
drainage and connected load must fulfil
the required criteria as stated in the
following paragraphs or in the installation
instructions.
Install the appliance in the following
sequence:
– Check the delivery
– Install the appliance
– Connect the waste water
– Connect the fresh water
– Connect the power supply
Delivery
Your dishwasher was checked at the
factory to ensure that it was in perfect
working order. This may have left some
small water stains in the dishwasher.
These will disappear after the first rinse
cycle.
Installation
The required installation dimensions can
be found in the installation instructions.
Using the height-adjustable feet, adjust the
appliance until it is level. Ensure that the
appliance is standing firmly.
Waste water connection
See the installation instructions for the
required connection steps. If required,
attach a siphon with drainage spigot.
Using the enclosed parts, connect the
waste water hose to the drainage spigot
of the siphon.
Ensure that the drainage hose is not
kinked, crushed or twisted (ensure that
there is no sealing cover which prevents
the waster water from flowing away!).
24
Fresh water connection
Using the enclosed parts, connect the
fresh water connection to the tap
according to the installation instructions.
Ensure that the fresh water connection is
not kinked, crushed or twisted.
When replacing the appliance, always
connect a new water supply hose to the
water supply. The old supply hose must
not be re-used.
Water pressure:
Minimum 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) – maximum
1 MPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure is higher, install a
pressure reducing valve.
Flow rate:
Minimum of 10 litres per minute.
Water temperature:
We recommend that you use cold water.
If you do use hot water, the temperature
should not exceed 60 °C.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance only to 230 V
alternating current via a correctly installed
socket with protective conductor.
See rating plate for required fusing 31 .
The socket must be attached near the
dishwasher and be freely accessible.
