To lower the basket, press in
succession the two levers on the left and right sides of the basket. Always take hold of the side of the basket on the upper edge, otherwise the basket will not drop smoothly (and may damage the utensils).
T o raise the basket, take hold of the
basket on the upper edge and pull upwards.
Before you re-insert the basket, ensure that it is at the same height on bothsides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not connect to the water circuit.

insert the spray head as illustrated in the diagram.
T o ensure that the spray jet can reach all
parts, arrange the baking sheets as illustrated (max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles).
Note
Never operate the dishwasher without the top basket or baking sheet spray head! 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 ef fect. 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 detergentpackaging 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 is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to the middle line. When the compartment is full it contains 40 ml.
If the detergent dispenser 30  is still
closed, press the lock 
28  to open the
detergent dispenser .
Adding  detergent
Fill the dispenser 30  with detergent.
Please observe the manufacturer ’s
instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage.
Important
Due to the dif ferent solvency properties of
the detergent tablets supplied by various manufacturers, the cleaning ef ficiency 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 Auto 65 -75 
programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml ofdetergent 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 clicksshut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form, read the manufacturer ’s
recommendations on the packaging inorder 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.

 3in1
The  use of so-called combined detergent
products may make the use of rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary .
There are currently several types ofcombined detergent products available.
2in1:  They contain detergent and rinse
aid  or salt function.
3in1:  They contain detergent, rinse aid
and  salt function.
4in1 : They contain a detergent,
rinse-aid, salt function  and an additional
glass protection component.
In addition, other combined products with a comparable ef fect are offered according
to the manufacturer .
>>>  Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you are using!
Always follow the operating instructionsor the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automaticallyadjusted in order to obtain the best possible rinsing and drying result. Observe the following important information if using combined cleaning products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to a water hardness of 21  dH (37  fH,
26  Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only . No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water hardness is  above 21 dH (37  fH,
26 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt

Washing
 dishes
 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 suf fice.
Programme  data
The  programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions.Programme specifications refer to normal conditions. Greater deviations may occur due to:
dif ferent amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g. temperature, water volume, ...).
Energy and water consumption is reducedby up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in the upper basket only .
W ater consumption values are based on a
water hardness setting of 4. Aqua  sensor *
*  on applicable models
The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water . A light barrier can detect
dissolved food remnants in the water , e.g.
egg, fat and oats. The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. When the Aqua sensor is active, ”clean” rinsing water may be transferred into the next rinsing bath and/or the temperature adjusted. If theturbidity is greater , the water is drained
and is replaced with fresh water . In this
way the water consumption is reduced by approx. 4 litres for utensils which are ”less” 
dirty. Switching
 the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch 1 to ON.

Optical  indicator during
operation * *  With some models
During the rinse programme a light point appears on the floor below the device’ s
door . Only open the dishwasher door
when the light point has disappeared. In the case of built-in dishwashers with flush front the light point will not be visible. Remaining  running time display
When  the appliance has started, the
expected programme running time is displayed. The programmed running time is af fected by the water temperature, the
number of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling. If these conditions are changed, the running time (depending on the selected programme) can vary greatly .
As the ef fect is not detected until a
programme is running, the time maybe longer or shorter than expected.
