Before using the appliance
The appliance should only be connected by a qualified fitter (see electrical connection).
This appliance is designed for household use only.
-
Disconnect the appliance before starting with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by taking the plug out of the socket or by turning off the mains switch.
-
Do not use an extension cable.
- Never clean electrical appliances (mixer, food processor etc.) in the dishwasher.
- Never use detergents containing phosphates or bleaches.
- Avoid limescale by regularly refilling the regenerative salts. Use only the special salt intended for dishwashers (do not use iodized salt).
Regularly check that the sprinklers and the filter element are clean. - Never use the dishwasher without the filters.
Do not stand or sit on the open door of your dishwasher. The appliance may topple over.
Things to watch out for
Before you place kitchenware in the machine
First remove food remains. You thereby avoid blockages.
First soak any pots/pans that are very dirty.
Environmental tips
Save your dirty kitchenware and only use your dishwasher when one (in the case of the half-load option) or both baskets have been filled.
Always select the most suitable programme, depending on how dirty your dishes are.
China ware
Not suitable:
All sorts of china ware with an onglaze decoration or edge which you can see and feel. Also consider the shape of the china ware. Bell-shaped cups break more easily than straight-sided cups. Under no circumstances put porous earthenware in your dishwasher.
Suitable:
China ware fired at a temperature of 700 / 800^ Do not use too much rinse-aid in this case, to avoid any damage. Only white or single-colour china ware which is fired at a temperature of 1200 / 1300^ is completely dishwasher proof.
Glass
Not suitable:
Crystal or hand-blown glassware; glass on which the decoration has been burnt in; glassware with a gold edging.
Suitable:
All other glass.
Cutlery
Not suitable.
Cutlery with a wooden, earthenware or chinaware handle. There is a big risk of cracks. In fact, there is a big risk of cracks for all wooden objects washed in a dishwasher. Cutlery made of chromium steel is not very suitable for washing in the dishwasher. In the case of this cutlery, there is a risk of corrosion (rust).
Suitable:
Cutlery made of chromium nickel steel 18/10. This high-quality cutlery is rustproof and acid resistant. However, the blade of a knife may be made of a different material. Watch out for this. Silver or silver-plated cutlery is also dishwasher proof. But in this case the rinse-aid used must not contain any citric acid, since this damages the silver. Moreover, regular washing in the dishwasher may result in the silver becoming scratched.
Attention:
You will get longer-lasting pleasure from your cutlery and dishwasher if you follow these tips:
After using the cutlery - especially knives - rinse it under the tap. You hereby prevent it being damaged by food remains containing salt and acid.
Always place knives, forks and spoons in the dishwasher with the handle downwards.
- Do not put chromium nickel steel cutlery and chromium steel cutlery together in the
dishwasher. Otherwise, you run the risk of rust contamination.
Take the cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the rinsing programme and dry it with a cloth. Never leave damp cutlery in the dishwasher.
- Never put silver and stainless steel cutlery in one basket together.
Silver cutlery should never be allowed to come into contact with aluminium, since this can damage the silver.
- Plastic pan handles can become dull.
Furthermore...
- Plastic objects must be heat-resistant.
Aluminium pans, kitchenware and various types of glassware may become discoloured after being washed several times in the dishwasher. Certain sorts of decoration may lose their colour.
Watch out for the indication "Suitable for the dishwasher" in the case of glazed pottery.
When you buy new tableware, look for forms which are suitable for the dishwasher: such as straight, smooth sides, large openings, cavities which are not too deep, dishwasher-proof decoration, cutlery and earthenware.

Salt, rinse-aid and detergent
Salt

Fig. 3
Only use regenerating salt for dishwashers. Under no circumstances use table salt!
It is quite normal that water bubbles up out of the reservoir when it is being filled with salt.
Unscrew the cap of the salt container in an anticlockwise direction. Place the supplied funnel on the container (see Fig. 3). Before using the dishwasher for the first time, pour one litre of water into the container and then pour 1.5kg of salt into the container. Carefully remove any spilt salt and screw the cap on again.
Only fill the salt container before operating a programme. Regenerating salt is corrosive and can damage the interior of the dishwasher.
The right amount of salt
The dishwashers "B" and "C" are equipped with a salt indicator. The indicator lamp comes on when the salt container needs refilling.
- Dishwasher "A" does not have a salt setting.
Refill the salt reservoir after every 20 cycles.
Dishwasher "B" and "C"
The dishwasher can be adjusted to the correct quantity of regenerating salt, depending on the hardness of the tap water.
Measure the hardness of the water with the test strip provided. Adjust the salt use in accordance with the colour of the strip. Make the adjustment by adjusting the catch in the salt refill opening in combination with the control pin in the door frame.
There are four different adjustments possible:
| test strip- hard- door colouring ness slide °dH paw! | |
| none* < 3 no salt no 1 zone red > 4 up left 2 zones red > 7 up right 3 zones red > 4 down left 4 zones red >21 down right |
- fill once a year
Please note:
The dishwasher has been adjusted to the maximum position.
5
Water hardness
Ask your local water company about the hardness of the water in your area.
Rinse-aid

Fig. 4
- Open the rinsing agent reservoir (see Fig. 4) on the inside of the door, next to the detergent reservoir.
The means of operation will depend on the type of dishwasher: the containers all work on the basis of the same principle. - Open the container by pressing button B.
Pour rinse-aid into the container and then close it again.
The container has a capacity of 100cm (enough for about fifty washing cycles).
Every now and again check the level of the rinse-aid.
The gauge (C) is between the detergent and the rinsing agent reservoir.
Reservoir empty: . Reservoir full:
The correct quantity of rinse-aid per washing cycle is adjustable.
Turn knob D in the container to the desired setting. The amount of rinse-aid is in proportion to the numbers on the knob.
-Increase the amount (choose a higher number):
Washed kitchenware is dull or flecked as a result of dried drops of water.
- Reduce the amount (choose a lower number):
Washed kitchenware is sticky or has whitish streaks.
Remark:
As standard setting, the rinse-aid container is set at the lowest amount.
Detergent
In the door, next to the rinsing agent reservoir, there is also a reservoir for the detergent (see Fig. 4).
- Open the lid of the reservoir by pressing button (A).
- Fill the reservoir with approx. 25 g detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer's guidelines.
- When you choose the 'strong' programme, proceed as follows: Fill the container with about 25 grams of detergent.
Close the lid of the container. Now completely fill the sunken space in the lid with detergent.
In the case of dishwashers without a sunken space in the lid, put the extra detergent directly into the dishwasher interior.
#
Remark:
The container lid is opened automatically during the washing cycle in order to add the detergent to the water. If washing tablets are used - in a holder attached to the cutlery basket - the container should be closed.
Baskets
Halve lading
Your dishwasher offers you the option (if this feature is included) of operating with a half load.
Fill the upper basket and press the button. When using this programme there must not be any kitchenware in the lower basket.
Use of the half load programme allows you to achieve considerable savings in water and electricity.

Adjustment of the height of the upper basket

Fig. 5
The top basket can be placed at two different levels depending on the height of the dishes to be washed.
Pull the basket completely forward, fold the caps sideways and remove the basket.
- Place the other set of wheels in the rails.
- Push the basket back into the machine and fold the caps back.
Upper basket in the high position
In this setting, the basket is suitable for small and medium kitchenware, such as glasses, small plates, cups, basins and light plastic objects which are heat-resistant.
Upper basket in the low position
In this setting, the basket is suitable for large plates (which are not too dirty).
Loading the top basket
- Stack the plates with the top side facing forwards.
- Stack cups and bowls or dishes with the opening down.
- On the left side of the basket you can place cups and glasses on two levels by folding the top racks upwards.
Loading the lower basket
- Like the upper basket, the lower basket can be completely pulled out by first fully opening the door.
- Place soup, flat and dessert plates, pans, lids and saucers in the lower basket.
- Arrange plates with the upper side facing the front or the middle.
- Place bowls and pans with the opening down.
5
The arrangement of some dishwasher models can be varied: the dish racks can be placed in different positions or removed altogether.
Cutlery basket
- Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with the handle downwards. Always check that the sprinklers can turn freely.
The first cycle (see Fig. 2a/2b)
- Close the door and turn the tap on fully.
Turn the programme selection button clockwise to the required setting (see the table for programme selection on pages 22-24). - Start the machine by pressing the on/off button (see Fig. 2a, 2b and 2c). The on/off indicator will light up.
End of programme
The dishwasher will stop automatically once the programme has finished.
- Switch the appliance off by pressing the on/off button.
If you have selected a programme with a drying cycle, you can empty the machine after about 30 minutes. Keep the door closed for that period.
- Unload the dishwasher. Be careful: - The kitchenware could be hot.

What else you should watch out for
Always fit tap, drainage and earthed plug/wall socket within reach.
Make sure that the skirting-board can be removed. It must be possible to take the dishwasher out of its recess for maintenance or repair work.
Connect water inlet hose/ aquastop to a self- venting water tap with a 3 / 4^* screw connection.
Make sure that no dirt remains in a newly installed water pipe.
The dishwasher may be connected either to a cold-water tap or to a hot-water tap (maximum 60^ ).
If you connect the dishwasher to a hotwater tap, the washing time will be reduced by about twenty minutes.
However, the dishwasher will wash less efficiently. The 45^ programme will therefore be carried out at a slightly higher temperature.
- Do not drill holes in the door or walls. The dishwasher could be damaged beyond repair.
Building-in
Remove the wooden platform on which the machine is standing by unscrewing the screws.
Fix the adjustable feet with the lock nuts beneath the side panels of the machine.
Adjusting the height
The height of the dishwasher may be adjusted from 820 to 870mm by means of the adjustable feet. Before you do this, measure the height of the recess.
- It is advisable to place the appliance on a so-called dishwasher platform.
Ask your kitchen dealer for information.
Adjusting the height of the control panel (see Fig. 8)

Fig.8
You can adjust the height of the control panel to the height of the kitchen furniture. This is done with the aid of the screws (A) on the underside of the panel.
Remove the screws, springs and trim in order to obtain the minimum height setting
If the trim is not removed, the height can be adjusted from 125 to 140 millimetres. With the aid of the extra trim, you can adjust the height of the control panel up to a maximum of 155 millimetres.
- You can get a panel height of between 120 and 125mm by cutting a few millimetres out of the "half moon" in the trim.
Mounting
Installling door panel (see Fig. 9)

First determine the height of the control panel.
- Place the template on the inside of the door panel.
The measuring marks correspond to the measured height of the panel.
Centre the template on the right and left sides with the aid of the measuring marks.
Transfer the markings of the drill holes on the template onto the door.
If the door panel is made of solid wood, predrill the holes with a 2 mm drill (12 mm deep).
Note:
Allow for possible differences in the thickness of the panel (milled hollows or bevelled edges).
Fix the mounting material to the door, with the plastic parts at the top and the metal parts at the bottom (see Fig. 10).

Fig. 10
- Attach the panel to the door of the dishwasher by pressing the upper pins into the slots of the plastic section. Slide the panel up a little so that the bottom hooks drop into the intended slots
- Fasten the bottom hooks from the front with M5 screws.
MOUTNING
Adjusting the spring tension (see Fig. 11)

Fig. 11
As standard setting, the door is adjusted to the lowest spring tension.
- Increase the tension of the spring by turning the two adjusting screws (A) in a clockwise direction with a screwdriver. The tension of the spring is correct if the door is in a state of equilibrium when open.
- Mount the metal plate provided to the underside of the unit top. moisture could damage the unit top.
Adjust the dishwasher so that it is level.
Mount the dishwasher to the unit top.
Mount the plinth in place.
Carefully open the dishwasher to check whether or not the door hits the plinth.
If this is the case, mark the part of the skirting-board to be removed. Leave a free space of three millimetres between the door and the skirting-board so that the door can open and close freely.
Make the sawn-off piece of skirting-board waterproof-with paint,for example-and replace the skirting-board.
Positioning (see Fig. 12)

Fig. 12
Note:
You should not allow the hoses to develop kinks or get flattened during the installation of the dishwasher in the recess.
What else you should watch out for
Do not make the free space around the appliance larger than three millimetres. If there is more free space, there is the risk of contact with electrical components of the appliance.
Water outlet
The outlet must be fitted with an odour-trap.
The drainage hose must hang free inside the outlet. The outlet may not be sealed off.
The drainage hose should not hang at a height higher than 80~cm . The minimum height is 32~cm .
Aquastop
A separate water seal is supplied with some dishwashers
This should be adjusted to setting 4, using the plastic spanner provided.
- Fit the aquastop to the water tap. Then attach the water inlet hose of the dishwasher to the aquastop.
In the case of other models, the aquastop is integrated into the water inlet hose.
The aquastop does not itself rectify a blocked-off water supply. First find out why the aquastop has blocked off the water supply. Contact the installer or the service department.
Disposal of packaging and appliances
The packaging of the appliance is recyclable. It is made up off:
cardboard
polyethylene
CFC free polystyrene (PS rigid foam)
polypropylene straps around the box
Please dispose of these materials in a responsible way in accordance with the regulations of your local authority.
Your local authority will also be able to give you information about disposing disused household appliances in a responsible way.
