• noton all models You will need to purchase the following before using the dishwasher for the first time: - special salt for use in dishwashers - 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. Ifthe 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. Water hardness table °dH | °#H “carte | rmmol | Css 243862 > [4] (7-21 80-37 21-26 8087 > (2-16 17-29 12-20 2,1 É (rot ere

As a result, any salt solution which has run over will be immediately diluted and flushed out. — Then clean the filling area of salt residues and screw the compartment lid back on without tilting the lid. Ifthe switch is set to "0", itis notnecessary to add any salt, as none is consumed while the dishwasher is operating. Ifthe switch is set between "1” and "4", then salt must be added.

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 [30 ]. To open the lid, press the mark (1) on the rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift the lid off the lug (2). — Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level indicator turns dark. — Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Spilt rinse aid may result in excessive foam formation in the next rinse cycle. Therefore, remove any spilt rinse aid with a cloth.

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. Es | |

LOW RINSE-AID indicator As long as the LOW RINSE-AID indicator on the dispenser is dark, there is sufficient rinse-aid in the dishwasher. Rinse aid controller LOW RINSE-AID indicator

Not suitable for the dishwasher The following should not be cleaned in the dishwasher: — Wooden cutlery and utensils - these will leach out and become unsightly; even the utilised stickers are not suitable for the temperatures which occur. — Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft utensil and vases, special antique orirretrievable utensils. These ornaments are not dishwasher-proof. — Plastic parts sensitive to hot water. — Copper and tin utensils. — Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. — Absorbent materials such as sponges and cloths. Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles. Recommendation: In future buy utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof. 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’. Ifnecessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers. — Selecta 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.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher — Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. Itis 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 slantso 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 ofthe 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 Upper basket[20 ]

• not included with all models Pots and pans Lower basket

Cutlery Cutlery should be placed in the dishwasher always unsorted and with the eating surface pointing downwards. The spray jet is then better able to reach the individual parts. To prevent injuries, place long, pointed accessories and knives on the étagère (some models) or on the knife shelf (available as an accessory). Folding spikes * *on applicable models To improve stacking of pots and pans, the Spikes can be folded down. K Nip

Adjusting position of basket *

• not on all models The top basket can be inserted on either its upper or lower rollers, according to requirement. This enables more height to be gained for bigger dishes in either the top or bottom basket. Select one of the two following procedures according to the design of the top basket for your appliance model:

Top basket with side levers (Rackmatic) — Pull outthe top basket. ee _ | “1 — To lower the basket, press in succession the two levers on the left and right sides of the basket. Always take hold of the side of the basket on the upper edge, otherwise the basket will not drop smoothly (and may damage the utensils). — To raise the basket, take hold ofthe basket on the upper edge and pull upwards. — Before you re-insertthe basket, ensure thatitis atthe same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not connect to the water circuit.

Baking sheet spray head * *some models You can clean large baking sheets or grilles with the baking sheet spray head. To do this, remove the top basket and insert the spray head as illustrated in the diagram. To ensure that the spray jet can reach all parts, arrange the baking sheets as illustrated (max. 2 baking sheets and 2 grilles).

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

2. those containing phosphates but no

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 thattea 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, *_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 ofthe 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. Ifthe detergent dispense: closed, press the lock detergent dispenser. Adding detergent — Fillthe dispenser Please observe the manufacturer's instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage. VAN Important 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. — lfusing the “Intensive” programme (some models), also pour approx. 10-15 ml of detergent onto the appliance door. If using tablets, also place a tablet on the appliance door.

*# 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.

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. — lfyou 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 ofthese products are not covered by our warranty.

Maintenance and care A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems. Therefore you should occasionally have a careful look inside your dishwasher. Overall condition of the machine — Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits. If you find such deposits: — Fillthe detergent dispenser with detergent, start the appliance without utensils in the programme which has the highest wash temperature. Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers. — Regularly wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove deposits. Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage. Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and panel with a damp cloth; water and a litle washing-up liquid will suffice. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces. VAN Attention! Never use other chlorinated household detergents! Health hazard! Dishwasher salt Check the LOW SALT indicator up with salt, if required. Top Rinse-aid Check the level of liquid in the rinse-aid container Top up with rinse-aid, if required.

Filters The filters prevent large particles of food in the water from reaching the pump. These particles may occasionally block the filters. — When the appliance has finished washing, check the filters for particles of food and, if required, clean. — After undoing the coarse micro-filter, the filter unit can be removed. Remove any particles of food and rinse the filters under running water. — Insertthe filter unit and tighten the coarse micro-filter. Coarse/microfilter
