You will need to purchase thefollowing before using thedishwasher for the first time:

– special salt for use in dishwashers– detergent– rinse-aid

Only use products, which are suitable fordishwashers.

Water softener

In order to rinse dishes and glassessatisfactorily, the dishwasher requires softwater, i.e. containing little or no lime,otherwise water stains will be left behindon crockery and glasses, etc.If the tap water exceeds a certain level ofhardness, it must be softened, i.e.decalcified, so that it can be used in thedishwasher.This is achieved by adding a special saltto the water softener inside thedishwasher. The water softener, that is the requiredamount of salt, is set up according to howhard the tap water is.

Setting up the water softener

(see introduction)

Filling the special saltcontainer

How the salt works

While washing is taking place, salt isautomatically rinsed out of the saltcontainer into the water softener where itdissolves the lime in the water.The dissolved lime is pumped out of thedishwasher. The water softening system isthen ready for the next load.This process of regeneration can onlyfunction when the salt is dissolved inwater.

Unscrew the lid on the salt container 24 .

Before you use the dishwasher for the firsttime, pour approx. 1 litre of water into thesalt 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 dispenserimmediately before switching on thedishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As aresult, the overflowing salt solution will beimmediately diluted and rinsed out. Thenremove salt residue from the filler area andscrew on the dispenser cover, ensuringthat it is not fitted askew.

The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguishagain after a short period when the saltsolution has become sufficientlyconcentrated.

Note

When the control is set to , it is

not necessary to fill up with saltas none will be consumed whilethe dishwasher is operating. TheLOW SALT indicator is switchedoff. If the control is set between

and , then salt must be

added to the dispenser.

Do not pour detergent into thecontainer for special salt. Thiswould destroy the watersoftener.

Salt refill indicator

As soon as the salt refill indicator 5 is lit

on the control panel, refill with saltimmediately before the next rinse cycle.

en

8

Filling the rinse-aidcontainer

The purpose of a rinse-aid is to preventthe formation of water marks on tablewareand utensils, and to ensure that glassesare clean and sparkling. The rinse-aid isconsumed during the washing process.

Fold back the lid on the rinse-aidcontainer 29 .

To open the lid, press the mark onthe rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift

the lid off the lug .

Pour the rinse-aid into the filler holeuntil the level indicator turns dark.

Close the lid, ensuring that you hear itsnap closed.

Note

Use only rinse aid for domesticdishwashers. Spilt rinse aidmay result in excessive foamformation in the next rinsecycle. Therefore, remove anyspilt rinse aid with a cloth.

Adjusting the amount ofrinse-aid

The amount of rinse-aid added to thewater can be varied by adjusting thestepless control. The rinse-aid control hasbeen set to ”4” in the factory.

Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aidcontrol unless streaks (turn knob towards”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)are left on the dishes.

Unsuitable dishes

You should not clean thefollowing items in yourdishwasher:

Cutlery and dishes made of wood. Theywill leach out and become unsightly; theutilised adhesives are also not suitablefor the dishwasher temperatures.

Delicate décor glasses, craft dishes andvases, special antique or irreplaceabledishes. These décor items are notdishwasher-safe.

Plastic parts, copper and tin dishessensitive to hot water are not suitableeither. Overglazed patterns, aluminiumand silver parts tend to becomediscoloured and fade during the rinsingcycle. Even some types of glass (e.g.crystal glass objects) may become cloudyafter many rinse cycles. Completelyabsorbent materials, such as sponges andcloths must not be cleaned in thedishwasher either.

Recommendation:

In future buy only dishes which areidentified as dishwasher-safe.

Note

Dishes which are soiled withash, wax, lubricating grease orink must not be cleaned in thedishwasher.

en

Damage to glassware and otherdishes

Possible causes:

type of glass or manufacturing process

chemical composition of detergent

water temperature and duration ofdishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

Use glassware or porcelain dishes thathave been marked ’dishwasher–proof’by the manufacturer.

Use a mild detergent that is describedas ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seekfurther information from detergentmanufacturers.

Select a programme with as low atemperature and as short a duration aspossible.

To prevent damage, take glass andcutlery out of the dishwasher as soonas possible after the programme hasended.

Arranging crockery, glasses,etc. in the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of left-overfood. It is not necessary to rinse the dishesunder running water.Place objects in the dishwasher in such away 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 canrun off,

they are stacked securely and cannottip over,

they do not prevent the spray arms fromrotating while washing takes place.

Very small items should not be washed inthe dishwasher as they could easily fall outof the baskets.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the topbasket onto the dishes in the lower basket,we recommend that you empty the lowerbasket first and then the top basket.

Cups and glasses

Upper basket 20

Pots and pans

Lower basket 27

Cutlery

Cutlery should be placed in thedishwasher always unsorted and with theeating surface pointing downwards. Thespray jet is then better able to reach theindividual parts.

To prevent injuries, place long, pointedaccessories and knives on the étagère(some models) or on the knife shelf(available as an accessory).

Folding spikes *


To improve stacking of pots and pans, thespikes can be folded down.

Baking sheet spray head *

* some models

You can clean large baking sheets orgrilles with the baking sheet spray head.To do this, remove the top basket andinsert the spray head as illustrated in thediagram.

To ensure that the spray jet can reach allparts, arrange the baking sheets asillustrated(max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles).

en

12

Shelf *

* not on all models

Lean tall glasses and those with longstems against the shelf – not against otheritems to be washed.

Long items, serving cutlery, salad serversor knives should be placed on the shelf sothat they do not obstruct the rotation of thespray arms. The shelf can be folded backwhen not required for use.

Detergents

Information about detergents

You can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use indomestic dishwashers. (Do not use normalwashing-up liquid!)

Nowadays there are three types ofdishwasher 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 usedin conjunction with hard water, there is agreater possibility that white marks will beleft behind on crockery and glasses, etc.These can be avoided by pouring anincreased amount of detergent into thedispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reducedbleaching effect. This can mean that teastains are not completely removed orplastic 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 detergentpackaging to determine whether aparticular product is suitable for use withsilverware.

If you have any further questions, werecommend that you contact the customeradvice departments of the variousdetergent manufacturers.

Detergent compartment withmeasuring marks

The side of the detergent compartment ismarked with lines to help you determinehow much powder to add.The capacity of the detergent container is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up tothe middle line. When the compartment isfull it contains 40 ml.

40 ml

25 ml

15 ml

Important

If the lid on the detergent com-partment is closed, press therelease lever to open the flap.

Adding detergent

Tip detergent powder into thecorresponding compartment 30 .

Please observe the manufacturer’sinstructions printed on the detergentpackaging when determining thecorrect dosage.

Due to the different solvency propertiesof the detergent tablets supplied byvarious manufacturers, the cleaningefficiency of the detergent may not befully utilised by short programmes. It isrecommended to use washing powderfor these programmes.

When you select the INTENSIVEprogramme, tip an extra 10–15 ml ofdetergent onto the inside surface of thedoor.

en

15

Reduce costs!

If you are using the upper rackonly, or if your dishes are onlymoderately dirty, it will normallysuffice to employ a reducedamount of detergent thanotherwise recommended.

Close the lid on the detergentcompartment.Press down the lid (1) until it clicksshut (2).

If you are using detergent in tablet form,read the manufacturer’srecommendations on the packaging inorder to determine where the tablets should beplaced inside the dishwasher (e.g. incutlery basket, detergent compartment,etc.).Make sure that the lid on the detergentcompartment is closed, even if you areusing tablets.

auto 3in1

The use of so-called combined detergentproducts may make the use of rinse aidand/or salt unnecessary.

There are currently several types ofcombined detergent products available.

3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aidand salt function.

2in1: They contain detergent and rinseaid or salt function.

>>> Always check the type of detergentor combined product which youare using!

Always follow the operating instructionsor the information on the packaging.

The rinse programme is automaticallyadjusted in order to obtain the bestpossible rinsing and drying result.As a result, intensive drying isautomatically activated.

Observe the following importantinformation if using combined cleaningproducts:

Regeneration salt is not required up toa water hardness of 21� dH (37� fH,26� Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No othersettings on the appliance are required.

Salt is still required if the waterhardness is above 21� dH (37� fH,26�Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the saltdispenser with salt 24 and select

setting 6 on the water softening system.

If in doubt, please contact the detergentmanufacturer, especially if:

the utensils are very wet at the endof the programme.

limescale forms.

en

16

Note

Optimum rinsing and drying results can beobtained by using standard detergents inconjunction with separate application ofsalt and rinse aid.

Observance of the operating instructionsor information on the packaging of thecombined detergents determines theireffectiveness.

Note

Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refillindicator is lit, the rinse programme runscorrectly when 3in1 products are used.

If the rinse aid refill indicator 6 or salt

refill 5 indicator is defective and you

would like to switch it off, proceed asfollows:

Switching the rinse aid refillindicator off and on

You can switch the rinse aid refill indicator6 on or off. This function can be

Washing dishes

Reduce costs!

If only a small number ofdishes have been loaded intothe dishwasher, selecting aprogramme that operates atthe next lowest temperaturewill usually suffice.

Programme data

The stated programme data are based onstandard operating conditions. The valuescan vary considerably according to:

different amounts of dishes

temperature of mains water supply

pressure of mains water supply

ambient temperature

fluctuations in mains voltage

machine-related factors (e.g.temperature, water volume, ...).

Energy and water consumption is reducedby up to 1/4 when dishes are washed inthe upper basket only.

Water consumption values are based on awater hardness setting of 4.

Aqua sensor *


The Aqua sensor is an optical measuringdevice which measures the turbidity of therinsing water. A light barrier can detectdissolved food remnants in the water, e.g.egg, fat and oats.

The Aqua sensor is used according tothe programme. When the Aqua sensoris active, ”clean” rinsing water may betransferred into the next rinsing bathand/or the temperature adjusted. If theturbidity is greater, the water is drainedand is replaced with fresh water. In thisway the water consumption is reduced byapprox. 4 litres for utensils which are ”less”dirty.
