Contact your dealer. ■ This appliance is designed for household use only. ■ Do not use the appliance if you have wet hands or if you are standing on bare feet. ■ Keep packaging material, such as plastic bags, polystyrene and wood out of the reach of children. ■ Keep detergents out of the reach of children. Keep children away from the appliance: it is not a toy. ■ Disconnect the appliance before starting to clean or repair it, 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. ■ Do not place any plastic utensils on the heating element. Plastic objects could melt. ■ 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). ■ Never fill the rinse-aid-, detergent- or salt compartments with solvents such as benzine, turpentine or alcohol. This could cause an explosion. ■ 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. ■ Do not touch the heating element, either during or immediately after the end of the washing programme.25 SAFETY 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. ■ Make no use, or as little use as possible, of the pre-rinse programme. ■ If possible, connect the machine to a hot- water plant with a maximum temperature of 60°C. 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 should you put porous earthenware in your dishwasher. Suitable: China ware fired at a temperature of 700/800 °C. 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 °C 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 china- ware 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.26 SAFETY 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.27 CONTROLS Controls Washing programme “A” switch programme de- pre- wash- cold warm drying tergent wash temp. rinse rinse 1 Pre-rinse – – cold – – – 2 Intensive 65 °C 25 g. • 65 °C 2x 65 °C • 3 Normal 60 °C 25 g. • 60 °C 1x 65 °C • S Economy 60 °C 25 g. – 60 °C 1x 65 °C • 4 Rinse programme – – – 1x 65 °C • Explanation programme “A” Symbol Suitable for… Couse of programme Pre-rinse Kitchenware ready for Short cold rinse to prevent food next washing programme. remains from drying.

Hard water leaves behind white spots on the dry washing-up; moreover, the dishes and utensils will become dull in the course of time, losing their shine. The appliance can be adjusted in accordance with the degree of hardness of the tap water in your home and the related salt consumption. ■ At the time of leaving the factory, the machine is adjusted to an average degree of hardness. ■ After you have topped it up with salt, make care that you close the salt reservoir properly again. It is important that neither the detergent nor the washing water can flow over into the reservoir, since that could have a negative influence on the functioning of the regeneration device. The guarantee does not cover such a malfunction. Topping-up the salt Use only salt that is suitable for dishwashing machines for household use. If you make use of salt pellets, you must not fill the reservoir completely. Under no circumstances should you make use of kitchen salt or industrial salt, since these contain non-soluble constituents which, over the course of time, can have a negative influence on the functioning of the water- softening device. ■ The salt reservoir is located at the bottom of the dishwashing machine. After having first removed the lower rack, unscrew the reservoir cap in an anti-clockwise direction, and pour in the salt, using the funnel (which is supplied with the dishwashing machine) (fig. 3). ■ Remove any salt residue from the edge of the reservoir opening before you screw the cap closed again. The water-softener can contain approximately 1.7 kg. of salt. ■ During the first washing programme, also pour 1 litre of water into the reservoir, along with the salt. ■ The salt reservoir must always be filled immediately before a washing programme.In this way, the overflowing salt solution is always removed simultaneously by the washing-up water. The long-term presence of salt solutions can cause corrosion of the housing.Adjustment of the water-softener The dishwashing machine is equipped with a device which can be adjusted to the degree of hardness of the tap water. After having opened the door, you will find the device located in the upper right-hand corner, and it can be adjusted with the aid of a coin (see fig. 4). Depending on the model, it is possible to adjust it to one of either 3 or 5 settings. Before adjusting the water-softener, please consult the tables below and set the number of the chosen level (1, 2, ...) to the reference symbol. fig. 4 Model with 3 settings water hardness settings German French degrees degrees

Model with 5 settings water hardness settings German French degrees degrees

Contact the Water Company to make enquiries about the hardness of the mains water. Rinse-aid fig. 5 ■ Open the rinsing agent reservoir (see fig. 5) 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. ■ Unscrew the lid of the rinse-aid reservoir in an anti-clockwise direction.

■ Pour rinse-aid into the container and then close it again. The container has a capacity of 140 cc. ■ Every now and again check the level of the rinse-aid. The level gauge (A) is located to the upper left of the lid. Reservoir empty:

■ The correct quantity of rinse-aid per washing cycle is adjustable. Turn the knob (B) in the container to the desired setting (C). 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, the rinse-aid reservoir is set to an average dose. Detergent fig. 6 In the door, next to the rinsing agent reservoir, there is also a reservoir for the detergent (see fig. 6). ■ Open the lid of the reservoir by pressing button (A). ■ Fill the reservoir (B) with approx. 25 g detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer's guidelines. ■ If you select the "super" programme, please take the following steps: Fill the reservoir with approximately 20 grammes of detergent, and fill the pre- wash detergent reservoir (C) with approximately 10 grammes of detergent. Close the lid. 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.

B C34 USE Baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of twelve covers. The lower rack is intended for washing-up which is extra dirty. The upper rack is intended for small and medium-sized washing-up, such as glasses, small plates, tea- and coffee cups and shallow dishes. Half load (if this feature is included) Your dishwasher offers you the option 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. ■ Fill the upper basket and press the - button. When using this programme, there may be no washing-up standing in the lower basket. Adjustment of the height of the upper basket The top basket can be placed at two different levels depending on the height of the dishes to be washed. ■ Pull the basket all the way out (to the front) and remove the guard on the right-hand side (see fig. 7). Remove the basket. Place the other set of wheels in the rails (see fig. 8). Push the basket back into the machine and replace the guard. fig. 7 fig. 8 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-hand side of the basket – at two levels – you can place cups and glasses. You can flip the upper draining racks upwards.

Loading the lower basket (see fig. 9) ■ 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. ■ Place plates with their top side facing forwards, or towards the middle. Make sure that there is always space remaining between the plates, so that the water can flow freely over them. ■ Place bowls and pans with the opening down. fig. 9 ■ The plate racks can be flipped upwards (see fig. 10), depending on the model. fig. 10 Cutlery container ■ The cutlery container is suitable for all types of cutlery. ■ In the cutlery container, place the knives, forks and spoons with their handles downwards. Always check whether or not the spray arms can rotate freely. USE36 The first cycle (see fig. 2a/2b/2c) ■ Close the door and turn the tap on fully. ■ Turn the programme selection button to the required setting (see the table for programme selection on pages 27 – 30). ■ 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. – Unload the lower basket first. If you unload the upper basket first, drops of water could fall on the kitchenware in the lower basket. Delaying the start time Dependent on the type of dishwasher, the programme can be set to start at a later time: a minimum of one hour and a maximum of nine hours later. Models with an adjustable starting time ■ After switching the appliance on, you have approximately one minute in which to set the desired starting time, using the "M" button. The time remaining until the start of the programme is indicated on the display "N".

Installation Electrical connection 230 V – 50 Hz General If the appliance does not have a connecting cable and plug, then it may only be connected to the mains by an approved installer. Note: The power rating and required mains voltage are shown on the rating plate. Connection should take place according to national and local regulations. If the input of the appliance exceeds 3 kW, the appliance has to be connected to an outlet with a rated current exceeding 13 Amp. Technical information Connected load kW see identification plate Dimensions: Max. height mm 870 Min. height mm 820 Width mm 596 Depth mm 550 Door panel: Max. height* mm 600 Min. height mm 500 Depth mm 598 Control panel Max. height mm 155 Min. height mm 115 Plinth: Max. height mm 170 Min. height mm 100

• at minimal control panel height 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 °C). If you connect the dishwasher to a hot- water tap, the washing time will be reduced by about twenty minutes. However, the dishwasher will wash less efficiently. The 45 °C 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 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 870 mm 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. 14) fig. 14 ■ 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 125 mm by cutting a few millimetres out of the “half moon” in the trim.

INSTALLATION AMounting Installing door panel (see fig. 15) fig. 15 ■ 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, as indicated on the template. fig. 16 ■ 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, and attach the underside as indicated in fig. 16. Adjusting the spring tension (see fig. 17) fig. 17 ■ As standard setting, the door is adjusted to the lowest spring tension. ■ Increase the tension of the spring by turning the two adjusting screws 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. MOUNTING 41Positioning (see fig. 18) fig. 18 Note: You should not allow the hoses to develop kinks or get flattened during the installation of the dishwasher in the recess. ■ 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. 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 The aquastop is integrated into the water inlet hose. ■ The aquastop does not itself rectify a blocked-off water supply. Turn off the water tap when the indicator window on the water stopper is red. First find out why the aquastop has blocked off the water supply. Contact the installer or the service department.
