Read the operating instructions before using the appliance for the first time.

General safety precautions

- This appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge, provided they are supervised or have been instructed on the safe use of the appliance and have understood the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be undertaken by children without supervision.

- If an appliance is not equipped with a mains cable and a plug or other means for disconnecting from the mains with a contact opening on each pole complying with the conditions of overvoltage category III for full isolation, an isolating device must be incorporated into the permanently installed electrical installation in accordance with

the installation regulations.

- If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Customer Services or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

1.1 Appliance-specific safety precautions

• Children under 3 years of age must be kept away from the appliance unless they are constantly supervised.
• Never use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
• If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor ensure that the ventilation openings on the base of the appliance are not obstructed.

• CAUTION: Knives and other items with sharp points must be placed with the

point downwards or placed horizontally in the basket.

• CAUTION: Do not drop or insert knives, forks or other sharp items in the opening of the door lock.
• No detergent must enter the opening of the door lock. This can cause the door lock to malfunction.
• The appliance is only suitable for washing household dishes and cutlery with water and standard dishwasher detergent. The appliance is for use in the home and for the intended purpose only. No liability is assumed for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use.

3 Programme overview

3.1 Programme

Programme time, water consumption and energy consumption can be reduced by selecting the and additional functions.

Eco programme: The most efficient programme in terms of water and energy consumption for normally dirty dishes (declaration programme).

Automatic: Optimum cleaning with minimal water and energy consumption. Not for burnt-on or dried leftovers.

Quick: For moderately dirty, everyday dishes. Not suitable for slowly dissolving tabs.

Glass: Gentle programme for glasses.

Intensive: For very dirty dishes, particularly with starchy leftovers (mashed potato, rice etc.).

Fondue/Raclette: For very dirty dishes, including burned-on food. Only use dishes that are suitable for dishwashers. If necessary, put detergent in the pre-rinsing compartment.

Hygiene: For items with higher hygiene requirements (baby bottles, chopping boards etc.). Clean the filter system before starting the programme.

Pre-rinsing: Prevents dirt drying on if the wash programme is not going to be started until later.

3.2 Additional functions

Energy saving: The rinsing temperature is reduced by 5 °C for around 10 % less energy consumption Gentle on glasses.

Partial load: When there is not much to wash. The water quantity is reduced by up to 6 l, the programme is up to 15 minutes shorter.

Delayed start: Allows you to wash during off-peak hours (e.g. at off-peak electricity rates). A delayed start of between 1 and 24 hours can be set.

4 Operation

4.1 Preparing the appliance

▶ Remove any coarse or hard pieces of food or foreign objects (such as toothpicks) left on the dishes.
▶ Load the baskets. After loading, check that the spray arms can turn freely.

4.2 Dish washing tips

General notes

• Do not overload the baskets.
• Dishes, pots and pans with heavily burned-on food debris stuck to them should be soaked in water first.
• Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the opening facing downwards so that the water can drain off.
• When loading, ensure glasses do not touch so as to prevent damage and water spots.
• When cleaning range hood grease filters, select the ☐ programme and use the maximum amount of detergent.

Dishes

Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.

• Clean wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to damage from heat and detergent suds by hand.
• Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
• The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over time can wear off.
• Glassware, depending on the type and the detergent being used, can become cloudy. Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.
• Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
• Do not wash dishes with adhesive labels on them. Adhesive labels can come off and clog up the filter system.
• Objects made of silver, copper and tin tend to discolour, turning brown or black.
• Spots tend to form on aluminium. Wash aluminium separately or by hand.

4.3 Loading tips for the upper basket

▶ Arrange smaller items such as saucers, glasses, cups and dishes.
▶ If using the fold-down racks 1, stagger the items.
▶ Rest glasses on the fold-down glass holder 2.

Using the correct dosage of detergent will automatically clean the interior of the appliance. The appliance should be additionally cleaned twice a year with dishwasher cleaner.

▶ Follow the instructions for the dishwasher cleaner.
- Select the programme as dishwasher cleaners work more effectively at higher temperatures.

Cleaning the exterior

• Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents.
• Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, etc. Otherwise the surface will be damaged.
• Remove any soiling or excess cleaning solution immediately. Only use washing-up liquid or glass cleaner.
• Clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth only – for metal surfaces rub in the direction of the polish lines.
• Clean the operating panel with a damp cloth and then wipe dry. Only use washing-up liquid or glass cleaner.
  ▶ Regularly clean the door seal and edges with a soft, damp cloth.

6.2 Cleaning the spray arms

Upper spray arm

▶ Remove the upper basket.
▶ Release bayonet fastener 1 in an anti-clockwise direction and remove.
- Remove the spray arm 2 from the shaft and rinse well under running water.
▶ Check the nozzles.

6.4 Refilling with regeneration salt

Never put detergent in the salt reservoir.

When the supply of regeneration salt is exhausted, the S refill indicator flashes.

▶ Open the appliance door and remove the lower basket.
▶ Open the cover on the salt reservoir by lifting up the grip.
▶ Fill with 1 kg standard regeneration salt. During the initial setup, add an additional 1 l water.
▶ Wipe away any excess salt on the edge of the salt reservoir.
▶ Close the cover and engage the latch.

6.5 Filling with rinse agent

Never put detergent in the rinse agent reservoir. Wipe off any spilt rinse agent. Foaming may occur. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and warnings.

Rinse agent prevents water spotting after final rinsing (rinsing with rinse agent).

When the supply of rinse agent is exhausted, the * refill indicator flashes.

▶ Open the rinse agent reservoir by pushing the release catch in the direction of the arrow.
▶ Fill with rinse agent up to the «max» mark (1.3 dl = about 35 wash cycles).
▶ Close the cover.
▶ Wipe away any spilt rinse agent.

There are streaks or milky spots on the dishes.	Reduce the rinse agent dosage setting.If not using detergent, set to in the user settings.
The dishes are wet and dull or have water marks on them.	Refill the rinse agent.Increase the rinse agent dosage setting.Use a different rinse agent.Do not open the appliance door until the end of the programme when a triple acoustic signal is emitted and the display or function light goes out (depending on model).If not using detergent, set to in the user settings.
There are rust spots on the items being washed.	The rust stems from another source e.g. the cutlery, pans, water pipe.The appliance is made of rust-free steel.Refill the salt reservoir with regeneration salt and run the «Pre-rins-ing» programme without dishes.
