* not on 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.

If the 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	°fH	°Clarke	mmol/l
22-35	38-62	27-44	3,8-6,2	4
17-21	30-37	21-26	3,0-3,7	3
12-16	17-29	12-20	2,1-2,9	2
7-11	12-16	9-11	1,2-2,0	1
0-6	0-11	0-8	0-1,1	0

- Set the water hardness switch 25 to the appropriate level.

Filling the special salt container

How the salt works

While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water.

The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softening system is then ready for the next load.

This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.

Unscrew the lid on the salt container 24.

Before you use the dishwasher for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt container.

Use the enclosed salt filler.

Refill with salt (do not use edible salt) until the salt dispenser is full (max. 1.5 kg). When the salt dispenser is being refilled, water is displaced and drains away. Therefore always refill the salt dispenser immediately before switching on the dishwasher (to prevent corrosion). As a result, the overflowing salt solution will be immediately diluted and rinsed out. Then remove salt residue from the filler area and screw on the dispenser cover, ensuring that it is not fitted askew.

If the switch is set to "0", it is not necessary to add any salt, as none is consumed while the dishwasher is operating. If the switch is set between "1" and "4", then salt must be added.

Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener.

LOW SALT indicator

Salt should be added as soon as the coloured dot in the lid on the salt container 24 is no longer visible.

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 ↓ on the rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift the lid off the lug ↑.

• Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level indicator turns dark.
• Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.

Note

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.

Unsuitable dishes

You should not clean the following items in your dishwasher:

• Cutlery and dishes made of wood. They will leach out and become unsightly; the utilised adhesives are also not suitable for the dishwasher temperatures.
• Delicate décor glasses, craft dishes and vases, special antique or irreplaceable dishes. These décor items are not dishwasher-safe.

Plastic parts, copper and tin dishes sensitive to hot water are not suitable either. Overglazed patterns, aluminium and silver parts tend to become discoloured and fade during the rinsing cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may become cloudy after many rinse cycles. Completely absorbent materials, such as sponges and cloths must not be cleaned in the dishwasher either.

Recommendation:

In future buy only dishes which are identified as dishwasher-safe.

Note

Dishes which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink must not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

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'. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
• Select a 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. It is 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 slant so 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 of the 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.

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 chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,
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 that tea 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, or
– 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 of the 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.

40 ml 25 ml 15 ml

Important

If the lid on the detergent compartment is closed, press the release lever to open the flap.

Adding detergent

• Tip detergent powder into the corresponding compartment 31.
  Please observe the manufacturer's instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage.
• 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.
  When you select the INTENSIVE programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml of detergent onto the inside surface of the 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).

Diagram showing a hand pressing down on a device with labeled arrows and a directional arrow indicating movement or change.

- 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.

CAUTION IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF 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.
• If you 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 of these products are not covered by our warranty.

Programme selection

The most appropriate programme can be identified by comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as the amount and condition of food remains, with the details contained in the programme overview.

Reduce costs!

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.

en

Programme data

The programme data (duration, energy and water consumption) can be found in the summary of instructions and refers to standard conditions. Greater deviations may be caused by:

• different quantities of utensils
• inlet temperature of the water
• water pressure
• ambient temperature
• mains voltage tolerances
• and appliance-specific tolerances (e.g. temperature, water flow rate, etc.)

The water consumption values refer to water hardness value 2.

Washing the dishes

Switching on the appliance

• Turn on the tap fully.
• Check once again that the spray arms can rotate freely.
• Select a programme with the programme selector 1 (rotate in a clockwise direction only).
• Press the main switch 5. The indicator light 7 illuminates. The programme starts.

Programme sequence indicator

While the dishes are being washed, the programme selector rotates in a clockwise direction and indicates how far the programme has progressed.

End of programme

The programme has ended when the pump noise is no longer audible and the programme selector has reached its initial position (12 o'clock position).

Switching the dishwasher OFF

Several minutes after the programme has ended:

• Set the main switch 5 to OFF. The indicator light 7 extinguishes.
• Turn the water tap off. (Does not apply when Aqua–Stop unit has been fitted) It is not necessary to reset the programme selector.
• Remove dishes, etc. when they have cooled down.

Interrupting the programme

• Set the main switch 5 to OFF.
• Indicator lights extinguish.
• If the hot water was switched ON or the appliance has already heated up and then the appliance door opened, leave the door ajar for several minutes and then close.
  Otherwise, the appliance door may fly open due to expansion.
• In order to resume the programme, set the main switch to ON again.

Changing the programme

• Switch off the main switch 5.
• Set the programme selector 1 to the new programme (rotate in a clockwise direction only!).
• Switch on the main switch 5 again.

Check whether the detergent dispenser is still closed. Otherwise, refill with detergent.

Note

If the power supply is disconnected while the appliance is operating, e.g. by switching off the appliance or due to a power failure, all settings remain stored. Operation continues automatically as soon as the power supply is restored.

Maintenance and care

You can help prevent faults by checking and maintaining your appliance regularly. This will save time and reduce problems. Therefore you should occasionally examine the inside of your dishwasher.

Overall condition of the appliance

Check the rinsing compartment for grease and limescale deposits.

If you find any deposits:

• Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the empty appliance with the programme which has the highest rinsing temperature.
  Clean the door seal:
• Wipe the door seal regularly with a damp cloth and remove any deposits.

Dishwasher salt

Check the LOW SALT indicator 24. Top up with salt, if required.

Rinse-aid

Check the level of liquid in the rinse-aid container 30. Top up with rinse-aid, if required.

en

Filters

The filters 26 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.
• Insert the filter unit and tighten the coarse micro-filter.

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. Turn off water supply. Disconnect drain and water input hoses. Remove screws in underside of work surface. Detach base board, if fitted. Pull out appliance and carefully withdraw hoses at same time.

Transporting the dishwasher

Drain water from the dishwasher. Secure all loose parts. The appliance should only be transported in an upright position.

- If the appliance is not kept upright during transport, any water left inside may seep into the control module and cause subsequent errors with programme functions.

Protection from freezing temperatures

If the appliance is installed in a location where there is a risk of freezing temperatures (e.g. in a holiday home), all water must be completely drained out of the interior.

Turn OFF the tap, disconnect the supply hose and allow to drain.
