Safety instructions
Delivery
Immediately check the packaging and
dishwasher for any damage which may
have been caused in transit. Do not use
a damaged appliance, but consult your
supplier.
Please dispose of packaging material
properly:


The corrugated cardboard consists
mainly of waste paper.


The polystyrene moulded parts
have been foamed without any
CFCs.


The polyethylene film (PE) consists
partly of secondary raw material.


The wooden frames (if fitted) are
made of residual wood and are
untreated.


The hoops (if fitted) consist of

Installation
Install and connect the appliance
according to the installation and
assembly instructions.
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
the rating plate of the dishwasher.
In order for your dishwasher to become
serve@Home capable, you will need
a special accessory, the System
Interface (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.
Warning
For safety reasons, if the appliance is not
fitted in a recess, thereby making a side
wall accessible, the door hinge area
should be covered at the side.
(Risk of injury)
Covers are available as optional
accessories from customer services or
specialist stores.

for the dishwasher.
Before using the appliance for the first time
and after selecting the language, fill with

described in the chapters ªFilling with saltº,
ªFilling with rinse aidº and ªAdjusting the
softening systemº.

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 ªHardnessº 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 the
following table. The factory setting
is ªHardness 4º.
Press the button M/OK 2 The set
value is saved and you are returned
to the Start menu.
If the setting is ª0º 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
devices index value 
 (see
chapter ªSetting up the softening
systemº), 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 ªRefill Saltº.
(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 the
refilling 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 ªRefill Saltº 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 ªRefill Saltº 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 and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.

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 ºRefill rinse
aidº. 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 the
hinged 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 the
compartment not being illuminated
when the door is fully opened and by
the display ªRefill Rinse Aidº 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 later
time you can skip the display ªRefill Rinse
Aidº 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 ªRinse Aid Amountº as described
in the chapter ªDevice Set-upº under
the heading ªOptions/Basic Settingsº.

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.
