If there is no information or if the installation instructions do not include the relevant information, contact the manufacturer of these appliances to check that the dishwasher can be installed above or below these appliances.

▶ If no information is available from the manufacturer, the dishwasher should not be installed above or below such appliances.

- To ensure the safe operation of all domestic appliances, continue following the installation instructions for the dishwasher.

- Do not install the dishwasher under a hob.

- Do not install the dishwasher near heat sources, e.g. radiators, heat storage tanks, ovens or other appliances that generate heat.

Contact between the appliance and water pipes may lead to corrosion of these pipes, possibly causing them to leak.

- Check that there is a distance of at least 5 cm between the appliance and the water pipe. The pipes supplied for the drinking water and waste water connections are not affected here.

Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material damage and damage to the appliance.

▶ Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses.
- Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or genuine spare hoses.
▶ Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.

If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly.

  • Ensure that the water pressure in the water supply system is min. 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) and max. 1 MPa (10 bar).
  • If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.

2.2 Safe use

ATTENTION!

Escaping water vapour can damage fitted units.

- When the programme ends, leave the appliance to cool down for a while before opening the door.

Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to corrosion.

- To make sure that any special salt that escapes is washed out of the tub, add the special salt to the dispenser for special salt immediately before the programme starts.

Detergent may damage the water softening system.

- Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system with special dish-washer salt.

Unsuitable cleaning agents may damage the appliance.

▶ Do not use a steam cleaner.

  • So as not to scratch the finish on the appliance, do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning agents.

→ "Opening appliance door", Page 41

4 Environmental protection and saving energy

4.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

- Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

4.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.

Use the Eco 50° programme.

√ The Eco 50° programme is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

→ "Programmes", Page 19

Change the sensor setting to the default.

√ Consumption is reduced.

→ "Sensors", Page 12

Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy.

√ → "Zeolith drying ② Page 11

4.3 Zeolith drying ②

The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith drying lets you save energy.

Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and heat energy and then release them again.

During dishwashing heat energy is used to heat up the washing water and dry the mineral.

During the drying phase moisture from the interior of the dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. The heat energy is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher with dry air. This speeds up and improves drying.

Zeolith drying therefore saves a great deal of energy.

Tip: To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do not position tableware parts directly in front of the intake opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container.

Do not position heat-sensitive tableware parts directly in front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container.

→ "Appliance", Page 15

4.4 AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor.

Use of the AquaSensor depends on the programme. If the soiling level is high, the rinsing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling level is lower, the rinsing water is used in the next wash cycle, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 litres. In the automatic programmes the temperature and running time are additionally adjusted to the level of soiling.

4.5 Sensors

The sensors adjust the programme sequence and strength in the automatic programmes depending on the level and type of soiling.

The sensor has different sensitivity settings that can be changed in the basic settings.

→ "Changing basic settings",

Sensor settingDescription
Standard Optimum setting for a mixed load and heavily soiled table-ware. Saves both energy and water.
Sensitive Adjusts the pro-gramme strength for effective removal of food remnants even with low soiling levels. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly.
Very sensitive Adjusts the pro-gramme strength for difficult conditions of use, e.g. stubborn dried-on food remnants. Recommended setting when using organic or ecological detergents containing low levels of active agents. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly.

4.6 Eco drying

The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase. This ensures a particularly economical drying result.

For best drying results wait until the end of programme before unloading the tableware. The programme has ended when the display shows "Finished!".

If automatic door opening is deactivated, energy consumption increases and the drying phase is usually

shortened.

→ "Overview of basic settings",

13 Detergent

13.1 Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding Special salt → Page 34 and Rinse aid → Page 35 separately. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup.

Note: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent.

Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from Customer Service → Page 72.

Tabs

Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out.

With shorter programmes tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect.

Powder detergent

Powder detergent is recommended for shorter programmes.

The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter programmes without PreRinse.

Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the following:

■ Only choose a programme without PreRinse.
■ Do not select timer programming for starting the programme.

The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid detergent.

With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware.

For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use Special salt → Page 34 and Rinse aid → Page 35.

Combined detergent

Besides conventional separate deter- gents, a number of products are available with additional functions.

These products contain not only detergent but also rinse aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, ...), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner.

According to the manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function up to a water hardness of 26 °E. With a water hardness above 26 °E you will need to add special salt and rinse aid. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17 °E. If you are using combined detergent, the washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.

13.2 Unsuitable detergents

Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health.

Hand washing-up liquid

Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance.

Detergent containing chlorine

Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health.

13.3 Information on deter- gents

Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use.

■ Detergents marked as "organic" or "ecological" (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The cleaning effect may be restricted here.
■ Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use.
- According to the manufacturers, combined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without adding special salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hardness of 17 °E.
■ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser.
■ Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents.
■ The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using a separate rinse aid.
■ Use tablets with a special drying performance.

13.4 Adding detergent

  1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.

en Tableware

  1. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.

50 mL 25 mL 15 mL

If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position.

If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer's instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dispenser.

20 ml – 25 ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.

  1. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.

CLICK

√ The lid clicks into position.
√ The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid detergent will spread around the washing tank and dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects in the tablet collecting tray.

Tip: If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance.

14 Tableware

Only clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers.

Note: Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles.

14.1 Damage to glass and tableware

Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if it is marked as dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. Avoid damage to glass and tableware.

Cause Recommendation

The following tableware is not dishwasher-safe:■ Items of cutlery and tableware made from wood■ Decorated glassware, antique and hand-crafted tableware■ Plastic parts not resistant to heat■ Tableware made from copper or tin■ Tableware soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint■ Very small items of tablewareOnly put tableware in the dishwasher if it is marked as dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
The chemical composition of detergent causes damage.Use a detergent marked by the manufacturer as gentle on table-ware.
Cause Recommendation
Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning solutions, in particular commercial or industrial cleaners, are not safe to use in the dishwasher with aluminium.If you are using highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents, in particular commercial or industrial cleaning agents, do not put aluminium parts in the dishwasher interior.

This ensures the parts of the appli-ance will remain clean and hy-gienic.
Action Benefit
If the appliance is not going to be used for a while, leave the door slightly ajar.This will prevent unpleasant odours.

18.4 Machine Care

Deposits, e.g. from remnants of food and limescale, can cause your appliance to malfunction. To avoid such faults and reduce odours, we recommend cleaning your appliance at regular intervals.

Machine Care combined with machine care products and machine cleaners is the right programme for the care of your appliance.

Note: You can get our tested and approved Dishwasher Care and Machine Cleaner for Dishwashers online at https://www.gaggenau.com/global/store or from customer service.

Machine Care is a programme which removes various deposits in one washing cycle. Cleaning takes place in two phases:

Phase Removal of Detergent Placement
1 Grease and limes-scaleLiquid machine care product or machine descaler in powder form.Appliance interior, e.g. bottle hung in the cut- lery basket or powder in the interior.
2 Food remnants and depositsMachine cleaner Detergent dispenser

To ensure optimum cleaning performance, the programme doses the detergents independently of each another during the relevant cleaning phase. Correct placement of the detergents is necessary here.

Run Machine Care without tableware if the indicator for Machine Care lights up on the control panel or if advised to do so by the display. The indicator will go out after you have run Machine Care. If your appliance does not have a reminder function, we recommend performing Machine Care every 2 months.
