What you should not put into

Cutlery and tableware manufactured in

whole or part from wood. They become

faded and unsightly in appearance.

Furthermore, the adhesives that are used

are not suitable for the temperatures that

occur inside the dishwasher. Delicate

decorative glassware and vases, special

antique or irreplaceable china. The

decorative patterns on such items will not

be dishwasher-proof.

Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot

water, copper and pewter utensils are also

not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or

painted onto the surface of crockery,

glasses, etc., aluminium and silver items

tend to become discoloured or faded if

washed in the dishwasher. Some types of

glass can become opaque in appearance

after they have been washed many times

in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent

materials, such as sponges and towels,

should never be placed in the dishwater.

In future, only purchase table or

kitchenware that has been confirmed as

being dishwasher-proof.

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.

The most appropriate programme can be

information in the introduction.en

If only a small number of

dishes have been loaded into

the dishwasher, selecting a

programme that operates at

the next lowest temperature

will usually suffice.

The stated programme data are based on

standard operating conditions. The values

can vary considerably according to:

different amounts of dishes

temperature of mains water supply

pressure of mains water supply

fluctuations in mains voltage

machine-related factors (e.g.

temperature, water volume, ...).

Energy and water consumption is reduced

by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in

the upper basket only.

Water consumption values are based on a

water hardness setting of 4.

The Aquasensor is an optical measuring

device with which the cloudiness of the

water in the dishwasher is measured. A

photoelectric sensor is used to detect the

degree of soiling in the water, caused by

dissolved food particles such as egg, fat

and rolled oats, etc.

The Aquasensor functions during all

programmes that include a pre-rinse cycle.

If the water is still “clean” at the end of the

pre-rinse cycle, then the same water is

used for the following wash cycle. If the

water is dirty, it is pumped out of the

dishwasher and replaced by fresh water.

The effect is to reduce water consumption

by approx. 4 litres when the dishes are

only “slightly” dirty.

The Pre-Soak programme option serves to

perform a pre-soak cycle before the main

programme. This cycle enables cookware,

e.g. pans, bowls, etc. to be pre-soaked

and pre-rinsed in the lower rack. If you

wish to pre-soak the dishes, this

programme option must be selected by

pressing the “Pre-Soak” button before the

programme starts. The recommended

detergent amount is approx. 5 g poured

onto the inside of the door.

Pressing the “Quick” button provides a

short wash cycle by curtailing the drying

phase and the washing time. The washing

and drying performance will be reduced

with the Quick programme option.

The filters 25 prevent larger remnants of

food or other objects from getting inside

the pump. This residue can occasionally

clog up the filters.

The filter system consists of a filter

cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on

the model, a microfilter (*).

Inspect the filters for obstructions every

time the dishwasher has been used.

By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you

can remove the filter system. Remove

any food remnants and clean the filters

under running water.

Measures must be taken to ensure that

built-under and built-in units that are

subsequently re-sited as free-standing

appliances cannot topple over. This can

be achieved by bolting the dishwasher

to the wall or fitting it under a

continuous work surface which is

screwed to the adjacent cupboards.

For Switzerland only:

There are no restrictions on installing

the appliance between wooden or

plastic walls as part of a fitted kitchen. If

the appliance is not plugged into a wall

socket, it must be connected to the

mains via a separator for all poles

within the domestic wiring system. This

device must have a gap of at least

3 mm between open contacts, in order

to conform with relevant safety

In order to function correctly the

dishwasher must be properly installed.

Specifications for the water intake and

waste-water drainage, as well as electrical

connections, must fulfil the criteria that are

set out in the following paragraphs and the

installation instructions.

When installing the dishwasher, carry out

tasks in the following order:

– check contents of delivery upon receipt,

– connect drainage hose,

– connect inlet hose to water supply,

– connect dishwasher to electricity supply.

Checking contents of delivery

All functions of your dishwasher have

been thoroughly tested in the factory. A

small number of water marks have been

left on the dishwasher as a result. They

disappear as soon as the appliance is

used for the first time.

Siting the dishwasher

Dimensions associated with siting the

dishwasher are contained in the

installation instructions. Ensure that the

appliance is completely level by adjusting

the feet. Make sure that it is standing on a

See the installation instructions for details

using the enclosed parts.en

Fresh-water connection

Connect the inlet hose to a water tap using

the enclosed parts and in accordance with

the installation instructions.

Minimum 0,5 bar – maximum 10 bar.

If the water pressure is higher, install a

pressure reducing valve.

Minimum of 10 litres per minute.

We recommend that you use cold water.

If you do use hot water, the temperature

should not exceed 60 °C.

Electrical connection

This appliance should only be connected

to a 230/240 V AC source via a properly

installed earthed socket. See nameplate

31 for size of required fuse.

The socket must be installed close to the

If you need to extend the mains

connecting lead, do not cut off the plug.

Replace the whole cable, which can be

disconnected at the junction box on the

rear of the appliance.

If the domestic wiring includes a residual-

current-operated (FI) circuit-breaker, make

sure that it bears the mark, as only

this type conforms to the latest regulations

Disconnecting the dishwasher

Here too, it is important that tasks are

carried out in the correct sequence:

always unplug the appliance from the

mains electricity first of all.

Pull plug out of wall socket.
