Control Panel

ON/OFF button Programme buttons

The ON/OFF button is used to turn the dishwasher on and off.

The Programme buttons are used to select the desired dishwashing cycle.

Function buttons: In addition to the pre-set dish-washing cycle, the following functions can also be set using these buttons:

Function button 1 Set the water softener
Function button 2	Activates/deactivates rinse aid dispenser when 3in1 on
Function button 3 - not programmed -

The rinse aid inflow is only affected, if the 3in1 function is selected.

The multi-display can indicate:

-the level of hardness to which the water softener is set.
—whether the rinse aid dispenser has been activated/deactivated.
-the start delay that has been set.
-the estimated time remaining for the current dish-washing cycle.
-what type of error has occurred with the dishwasher.

Programme progress display: The current stage of the programme is always shown in the programme progress display.

The control indicators have the following meanings:

Salt 1)	Refill with special salt
Rinse Aid 1)	Refill with rinse aid
Water Tum on the tap
Filter	Clean the dishwasher's filter sys-tem
Door	The door of the dishwasher is open

1) These control indicators are never illuminated while a dish-washing cycle is running.

Prior to Using for the First Time

If you wish to use 3 in 1 detergent:

- First read the section "Using 3in1 detergents".

- Do not fill up with special salt or rinse aid.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, before using for the first time

1. Set the water softener
2. Fill up with dishwasher salt
3. Fill up with rinse aid

Setting the Water Softener

The water softener must be set manually and electronically:

To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The water softener must be set according to the table to the water hardness in the area where you live. Your local water company will be able to give you information about the water hardness in your area.

The dishwasher must be switched off.

Setting manually:

1.Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.

1. Turn water hardness dial on the left wall of the dishwasher interior to O or 1 (see table).

Setting electronically:

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

If indicators for the programme buttons are lit, a dishwashing cycle is activated. The dishwashing cycle must be deselected:

Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.

All additional wash programme button indicators will go out.

1. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and keep them pressed.

The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.

1. Press function button 1.

The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash.

The multi-display will indicate the hardness setting.

1. Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by 1.

(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).

1. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.

The hardness setting is now saved.

If the water softener is set electronically to "1", this switches off the control indicator for dishwasher salt.

Adding dishwasher Salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with dishwasher salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.

If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with dishwasher salt:

—Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

-When the control indicator for dishwasher salt is illuminated on the control panel.

1. Open the door and remove the lower basket.

2. Unscrew the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anti-clockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

1. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser opening.

Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the capacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser.

If water overflows when filling up with dish-washer salt, this is completely harmless.

1. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.

6.Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

1. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with dishwasher salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt.

Depending on the size of the salt granules, it can take several hours for the salt to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for dishwasher salt to go out.

Filling Up with Rinse Aid

Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leaving gleaming dishes and glassware.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:

—Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

-When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel.

Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers.

1.Open the door.

The rinse aid compartment is located on the inside of the dishwasher door.

1. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment.

3.Open the cover.

1. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to the broken "max" line;

this corresponds to a volume of approx. 140 ml when full.

1. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place.

2. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth. Otherwise there will be too much foam when rinsing.

Illustration of a hand pouring liquid into a camera mode dial (no text or symbols visible)

Setting the Amount of Rinse Aid Required

Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the amount) or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on glasses and dishes. (See section "If dish-washing results are not satisfactory".) The dosage can be set from 1-6. The dosage is pre-set to "4" in the factory.

1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment.
   3.Open the cover.
3. Set the dosage level.
4. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place.
5. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it away with a cloth.

Activating rinse aid inflow when 3in1 function is selected

If the 3in1 function is not selected, the rinse aid inflow is always activated.

If the 3in1 function is selected due to the use of 3in1 detergent, the rinse aid inflow is deactivated. If the dishes then do not dry sufficiently, you should re-activate the rinse aid inflow (see also section "Using 3in1 detergents").

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

If the LED indicator of only one programme button is illuminated, this wash programme has been activated. The wash programme must be deselected:

Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.

The LED indicators of all the programme buttons that can be selected will illuminate.

1. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and hold them down.

The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.

1. Press function button 2.

The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash.

The multi-display will indicate the current setting:

0d	Rinse aid inflow deactivated when 3in1 on (factory setting)
Id	Rinse aid inflow activated when 3in1 on

1. Pressing function button 2 activates and deactivates the rinse aid dispensing function.
2. Once the multi-display is indicating the required setting, press the ON/OFF button. The setting is now saved.

In daily use

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.

For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans

are not suitable: are of limited

suitability:

Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of pearl handlesPlastic items that are not heat resistantOlder cutlery with cement that is sensitive to temperatureDishes or cutlery with glued partsPewter or copper itemsLead crystal glassSteel items that rustWooden boards/plattersItems made from synthetic materials

Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked by the manufacturer as being dishwasher-safe.Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently in the dishwasher.Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Food remains, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discoloration and staining on silver. Therefore always clean food residues from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.Glass can become dull after a large number of washes.

•Before loading the dishes, you should:
-Remove the worst of the food residues.
-Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.
- When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
–Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
-Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in them
-Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover one another
-To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another
- Don't put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in the cutlery basket, so that they can't fall through the holes.

Loading cutlery

Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket because of the risk of injury.

To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you should:

1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket

3D wireframe diagram of a shopping basket with an open top panel and a labeled arrow pointing to the basket (no text or symbols present)

1. Place forks and spoons in the cutlery basket's grid insert with their handles pointing downwards.

Pots, Pans, Large Plates

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket.

(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).

To make it easier to load larger dishes, the two rear plate rests in the lower basket can be folded down and the cutlery basket in the lower basket can be moved to the side.

Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service

Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket.

• Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items.
• The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall crockery items.
• Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the slots in the cup racks.
• For glasses with long stems, fold the glass rack to the right, otherwise fold it away to the left.
• The row of spikes on the left of the upper basket is also in two parts and can be folded away. Spikes not folded away: place glasses, mugs etc. in the upper basket. Spikes folded away: More room for serving dishes.

Adding Detergent

Detergents remove the dirt from dishes and cutlery. The detergent must be added before the cycle starts.

Only use detergent intended for domestic dishwashers.

The detergent compartment is located on the inside of the door.

1. If the lid is closed: Press the release button. The lid will spring open.

2. Place the detergent in the detergent dispenser. The markings indicate the dosing levels for powder detergents: "20/30" corresponds to approx. 20/30 ml of detergent. Follow the manufacturer's instructions with regard to dosing and storage.

3. Close the lid and press until it locks into place.

In the case of very heavily soiled dishes, fill the adjoining compartment (1) with additional detergent. This detergent comes into use during the pre-wash cycle.

Concentrated detergents

Today's detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder form.

Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dishwashing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50 °C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C cycles.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tablets.

Using 3in1 detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt function.

When the 3in1 function is activated,

-the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser is prevented.
-If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated.
- The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer.

If you want to use 3in1 detergents, check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. (Follow manufacturer's instructions!)

If your water hardness is higher than that recommended by the manufacturer but you would nevertheless like to use 3in1 detergent, proceed as follows:

• With the 3in1 function selected, set the water softener one hardness setting lower than when rinsing without 3in1 detergent.
• Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with special salt.

The dishwasher remembers the two different settings of the degree of hardness for rinsing with and without 3in1 function.

If you want to use 3in1 products

1. Press the ON/OFF button.
2. Press the 3 IN 1 button.

The button indicator lights up: 3in1 function is selected.

Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the detergent dispenser.

As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off when the 3in1 function is activated, it may come about because of the different quality standards in the 3in1 detergent, that the dishes do not dry sufficiently.

If this happens, proceed as follows (see section "Adding rinse aid"):

• Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with rinse aid.
• Set rinse aid dosage to "2" mechanically.
• Activate rinse aid inflow.

If you do not want to use 3in1 products any more

If you want to stop using 3in1 products, please do the following:

• Deactivate the 3in1 function.
• Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
• Switch the water softener to the highest setting and perform up to three normal cycles without loading any dishes.

- Then set the water softener to the water hardness in your area.

If you want to use 4in1 products

When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1" detergents.

1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how full the baskets for the dishes are. Variations are therefore possible in practice.

2) When using this cycle the degree of water clouding determines the amount of soiling on the dishes. The length of the cycle and water and energy consumption can vary greatly – depending upon the load and how dirty the dishes are. Depending upon the soiling, the temperature of the water will be automatically adjusted to between 50^ C and 65^ C.

3) When using this cycle, only load the dishwasher half full.

4) Test programme for Test Institutes

5) This cycle does not need any detergent.

Selecting a programme

When your dishes look like this, select: an intensive programme.

a normal or energy-saving programme.

a short programme (e.g. 30 minute programme).

If the dishwashing results are not satisfactory

The dishes are still dirty.

•The wrong dishwashing cycle was selected.
- The dishes were loaded is such a way that the dishwashing water did not reach all items. The baskets for the dishes must not be overloaded. The spray arms must be free to turn.

- Filters in the floor of the dishwasher are not clean or incorrectly inserted.

- Good quality detergent was not used, or too little was used.

- In the case of scale deposits on the dishes: The special salt dispenser is empty or the water softening system has been incorrectly set.

•The drain hose is incorrectly positioned.

- If at the end of the dishwashing cycle there is still detergent left in the detergent dispenser, either the spray arm was jammed or the spray arm jets are blocked with pollutants in the dishwashing water. You have the option of removing the spray arms from their fixture for cleaning (see section “Care and Cleaning”).

The dishes do not dry and are not shining.

• Poor quality rinse aid was used.
  •The rinse aid dispenser is empty.

Installation and connection instructions

Safety Information for the Installation

• Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt water may run out.
• Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier.
• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose are damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
• Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.
• Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be installed by a trained electrician.
• Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.
• Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.
• The dishwasher's cable must only be replaced by a Service Force Engineer.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a Service Force Engineer.

Installing the Dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions.
• To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver.
• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.
• The dishwasher must also be screwed tightly to the work surface or to the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher does not tip up.

Free-standing appliances

If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker) must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm).

If the appliance is built-in under a kitchen work surface, the worktop supplied with the dishwasher can be removed in the following way:

1. Unscrew the screws from the elbows at the rear (1).

2. Push the appliance's worktop backwards about 1 cm (2).

3. Lift the worktop at the front (3) and remove it.

If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the work surface supplied with it must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

Connecting the dishwasher

Connecting to the water supply

• The dishwasher can be connected to cold or hot water supplies up to max. 60°C.
• The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.

Permitted water pressure

Lowest permitted water pressure:1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa)	Consult your plumber if the water pressure is less than 1 bar.
Highest permitted water pressure:10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)	If the water pressure is greater than 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be used (available from your dealer).

Connecting the inlet hose

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being connected.

Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external thread (3/4 inch). The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic or a metal nut:

- Only tighten the nut hand tight.

Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make sure that the tap is not dripping.)

So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a T-branch to the existing tap.

If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local Service Force.

Water drainage

Drain hose

The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled.

Connecting the drain hose:

-Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
-Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the appliance.

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from your local Service Force Centre. To ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded, the internal diameter of extension hoses must be 19 mm.
• Extension hoses must not be laid more than a maximum distance of 4 metres horizontally; the maximum permitted height for the connection for the drain hose is then 85~cm .

Sink outlet connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink outlet connection must be at least 15 mm.
• The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connection using the hose clamp supplied.

Water drainage if the dishwasher is built-in at high level

If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drain hose connection is less than 30 cm from the lower edge of the appliance, adapter kit ET 111099520 must be fitted by your local Service Force Centre.

Water drainage into sink (only possible with free-standing appliances)

If you wish to hang the drain hose over the edge of a sink, use a detachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from Service Force by referring to spare part number ET 646 069 190.

1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose.
2. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slide off the edge of the sink.
   Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and fix it to the wall or the tap.

Anti-flood system

For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is equipped with a anti-flood system.

In the event of a fault, the safety valve immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump is activated.

In this way water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.

Electrical Connection

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility should these safety measures not be observed.

Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.

To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.

Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Changing a fuse

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS 1363A) fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.

The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code.

Green and Yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

• The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter "E" or by the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
• The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal "N" or coloured black.
• The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked "L" or coloured red.
• Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

WARNING! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that, if it is necessary to cut off the plug, it is disposed of safely and not retained.

Connecting systems

The water inlet hose, drain hose and the mains cable must all be connected to the side of the dishwasher as there is no space for them behind the appliance.
