The dishwasher must NOT be connected to the power supply during installation.
Ensure that the protective conductor system of the domestic electricity 
supply has been installed correctly.
Electrical connection conditions must correspond with the specifications on

In order for your dishwasher to become serve@Home capable, you will need 
a special accessory, the SystemInterface (available from your specialist supplier). Please follow the enclosed installation instructions, and install the system interface in the chamber located 
at the front of the dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a high-sided unit, ensure that the unit is attached properly and also at the 
rear.
Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed, the mains plug should still be easily accessible.
Not on all models: The plastic housing on the water input contains an electrically operated valve. The connecting wires are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose and do not immerse the plastic housing 
in water.

8 Setting up the water softener
In order to provide satisfactory rinsing 
results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers.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. The softening system must be adjusted before the appliance is used for the first time or if the water hardness changes.
Determine the degree of hardness 
of your tap water. Your water utilities company or customer service will advise you.
Switch on the appliance with the main switch  1
. The main menu is
displayed (if switching on the appliance for the first time, only when a language has been selected and dispensers have been filled with salt (if required) and rinse aid).
Keep pressing button M/OK 2  until
the “Hardness” setting is displayed.
Using the buttons – or + 3 , select
the set value between 0 and 7 which corresponds with the degree of hardness of your tap water in thefollowing table. The factory setting is “Hardness 4”.
Press the button M/OK 2  The set
value is saved and you are returned to the Start menu.
If the setting is “0” the softening system 
is switched off. Possible lack of salt will not
 be indicated.

Filling in the salt
Note
If the hardness of your mains water corresponds to the 
device’s index value 
 (see
chapter “Setting up the softening system”), you do not need to fill in the salt because the operation will not use any salt. If the set values 
 to  are displayed,
salt must be added.
During the rinse cycle the salt is being washed automatically from the salt compartment into the softening system where it will dissolve the lime. The lime-containing solution drains from 
the dishwasher. Afterwards the softening system is ready to be loaded again. This regeneration cycle will only work if 
the salt is dissolved in water. After switching on the device,  lack of salt
is indicated by the display “Refill Salt”. (This display will no longer appear once you have set the softening system to the value 
.)
Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 
25 .
Before operating the device for the first time you must pour 1 litre of water into the salt compartment.
Then you must refill salt (not table salt) using the  supplied salt filling aid  until the
salt compartment is full (max 1.5 kg).When you refill the salt, water is being 
displaced and drains off. Therefore therefilling must take place shortly before switching on the device. (In order to avoid corrosion). This way the overflowing salt 
solution is diluted and flushed immediately. Then clean the filling area of salt residues and screw the compartment lid back on without tilting the lid. 
As soon as a sufficiently high salt solution has formed the display “Refill Salt” will 
disappear. If you do not want to wait until the display disappears but you want to wash 
immediately, confirm the refilling of the salt using the button M/OK 
2 .
If you do not want to refill the salt now you can skip the display “Refill Salt” by pressing the button M/OK 
2 .
Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water
softener.
Depending on the washing frequency andthe hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for several months.

10 Filling with rinse aid
Rinse aid is used in washing mode to ensure that glasses are sparkling and utensils are stain-free. When the appliance is switched on,  low
rinse aid  level is indicated by ”Refill rinse
aid”. You can add rinse aid either when the appliance door is completely open or – for a more comfortable posture – when the door is half open.
Open the rinse aid dispenser 30  by
pressing the button on the dispenser 
cover and open the cover. When the door is half open, also pull out thehinged filling aid until it locks into position.
Fill in the rinse aid slowly and take care not to overfill. The right amount is indicated by the level indicator at thecompartment not being illuminated when the door is fully opened and by the display “Refill Rinse Aid” no longer being lit.
Close the lid of the compartment until it 
audibly clicks into place. If necessary, the filling aid will be re-inserted 
automatically.
If you want to fill in the rinse aid at a latertime you can skip the display “Refill Rinse Aid” by pressing the button M/OK 
2 . If necessary, you can change the amount of rinse aid that is added during the operation. In order to do this, select the option “Rinse Aid Amount” as described in the chapter “Device Set-up” underthe heading “Options/Basic Settings”.
rinse–aid control
Fill when door is fully open.
Filling when the door is half open.
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.
