– detergent
– rinse-aid
Only use products, which are suitable for dishwashers.

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 special salt container
How the salt works
While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water.
The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softening system is then ready for the next load.
This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.
Unscrew the lid on the salt container
24
.
Before you use the dishwasher for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt container.
Use the enclosed salt filler.
Refill with salt (do not use edible salt) until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg).
When the salt dispenser is being refilled, water is displaced and drains away.
Therefore always refill the salt dispenser immediately before switching on the dishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As a result, the overflowing salt solution will be immediately diluted and rinsed out. Then remove salt residue from the filler area and screw on the dispenser cover, ensuring that it is not fitted askew.
The LOW SALT indicator
8
on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.
Note
When the control is set to , it is not necessary to fill up with salt as none will be consumed while the dishwasher is operating. The
LOW SALT indicator is switched off. If the control is set between
and , then salt must be added to the dispenser.
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
8
is lit on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle.
8
Filling the rinse-aid container
The purpose of a rinse-aid is to prevent the formation of water marks on tableware and utensils, and to ensure that glasses are clean and sparkling. The rinse-aid is consumed during the washing process.
Fold back the lid on the rinse-aid container
29
.
To open the lid, press the mark on the rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift the lid off the lug .
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.
29
Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level indicator turns dark.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.

Unsuitable dishes
You should not clean the following items in your dishwasher:
Cutlery and dishes made of wood. They will leach out and become unsightly; the utilised adhesives are also not suitable for the dishwasher temperatures.
Delicate décor glasses, craft dishes and vases, special antique or irreplaceable dishes. These décor items are not dishwasher-safe.
Plastic parts, copper and tin dishes sensitive to hot water are not suitable either. Overglazed patterns, aluminium and silver parts tend to become discoloured and fade during the rinsing cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g.
crystal glass objects) may become cloudy after many rinse cycles. Completely absorbent materials, such as sponges and cloths must not be cleaned in the dishwasher either.
Recommendation:
In future buy only dishes which are identified as dishwasher-safe.
Note
Dishes which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink must not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
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.

en
Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in such a way that items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down, curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off, they are stacked securely and cannot tip over, they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
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.
Cups and glasses

Cutlery
Cutlery should always be inserted in random order with the handles pointing downwards (take care with knife blades!).
This enables the jet of water to reach the individual items more easily.
To prevent the risk of injury, place long and pointed implements and knives on the shelf (some models) or knife shelf
(available as an accessory).

Detergents
Information about detergents
You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have been specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal washing-up liquid!)
Nowadays there are three types of dishwasher detergent available:
1. those containing phosphates and
chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no
chlorine,
3. those containing neither phosphates
nor chlorine.
When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc.
These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser.
Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or plastic items become discoloured.
This can be resolved by:
– selecting a higher temperature
programme, or
– increasing the amount of detergent, or
– using a detergent that contains chlorine.
Check the label on the detergent packaging to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware.
If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the customer advice departments of the various detergent manufacturers.
Detergent compartment with measuring marks
The side of the detergent compartment is marked with lines to help you determine how much powder to add.
The capacity of the detergent container is
15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to the middle line. When the compartment is full it contains 40 ml.
40 ml
25 ml
15 ml
Important
If the lid on the detergent compartment is closed, press the release lever to open the flap.
Adding detergent
Tip detergent powder into the corresponding compartment
30
.
Please observe the manufacturer’s instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage.
Due to the different solvency properties of the detergent tablets supplied by various manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of the detergent may not be fully utilised by short programmes. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.
When you select the INTENSIVE programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml of detergent onto the inside surface of the door.
14
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.

CAUTION
IMPORTANT NOTE
ON THE USE OF
COMBINED CLEANING
PRODUCTS
Please note the following when using
”combined cleaning products” which eliminate the need for a rinsing agent or salt, for example:
Some products with a built-in rinsing agent are only used to their full effect in certain programmes.
This type of product does not generally produce the desired effect with automatic programmes.
Products which eliminate the need for regeneration salt can only be used within a certain water hardness range.
If you wish to use these combined products, please read the instructions carefully and heed any notes on the packaging.
Contact the manufacturer of the cleaning agent if you have any questions, particularly if: the crockery is very wet once the programme has finished.
limescale deposits are formed.
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.

Washing dishes
Reduce costs!
If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting a programme that operates at the next lowest temperature will usually suffice.
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.
Aqua sensor *
* on applicable models
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. A light barrier can detect dissolved food remnants in the water, e.g.
egg, fat and oats.
The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. When the Aqua sensor is active, ”clean” rinsing water may be transferred into the next rinsing bath and/or the temperature adjusted. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In this way the water consumption is reduced by approx. 4 litres for utensils which are ”less” dirty.

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!).
