Resolving minor problems
yourself
Experience has shown that you can
resolve most problems that arise during
normal daily usage yourself, without
having to call out a service engineer. Not
only does this save costs, but it also
means that the appliance is available for
use again that much sooner. The following
list of common occurrences and their
remedies should help you identify the
causes of most problems.

General
Built-under and integrated appliances
which are subsequently installed as
free-standing appliances must be
secured to prevent them from falling
over, e.g. by screwing them to the wall
or by installing them under a continuous
worktop which is screwed to the
adjoining units.
For Swiss version only:
The appliance can be installed without
difficulty between wooden and plastic
walls in a kitchen range. If the appliance
is not connected via a plug, the
installation side must feature an all-pole
disconnector with a contact gap of at
least 3 mm in order to satisfy the
relevant safety regulations.
Installation
The dishwasher must be connected by
a qualified technician to ensure correct
operation. The specifications for supply,
drainage and connected load must fulfil
the required criteria as stated in the
following paragraphs or in the installation
instructions.
Install the appliance in the following
sequence:
± Check the delivery
± Install the appliance
± Connect the waste water
± Connect the fresh water
± Connect the power supply
Delivery
Your dishwasher was checked at the
factory to ensure that it was in perfect
working order. This may have left some
small water stains in the dishwasher.
These will disappear after the first rinse
cycle.
Installation
The required installation dimensions can
be found in the installation instructions.
Using the height-adjustable feet, adjust the
appliance until it is level. Ensure that the
appliance is standing firmly.
Waste water connection
See the installation instructions for the
required connection steps. If required,
attach a siphon with drainage spigot.
Using the enclosed parts, connect the
waste water hose to the drainage spigot
of the siphon.
Ensure that the drainage hose is not
kinked, crushed or twisted (ensure that
there is no sealing cover which prevents
the waster water from flowing away!).
 
						

							en
26
Fresh water connection
Using the enclosed parts, connect the
fresh water connection to the tap
according to the installation instructions.
Ensure that the fresh water connection is
not kinked, crushed or twisted.
When replacing the appliance, always
connect a new water supply hose to the
water supply. The old supply hose must
not be re-used.
Water pressure:
Minimum 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) ± maximum
1 MPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure is higher, install a
pressure reducing valve.
Flow rate:
Minimum of 10 litres per minute.
Water temperature:
We recommend that you use cold water.
If you do use hot water, the temperature
should not exceed 60 5C.
Electrical  connection
This appliance should only be connected
to a 230/240 V AC source via a properly
installed earthed socket. See nameplate
31 for size of required fuse.
The socket must be installed close to the
dishwasher.
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.
The appliance must be drained in the
following sequence:
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch to ON.
Select the B programme. The
programme duration in minutes is
shown in the numerical display.
Close the door.
Wait for approximately 4 minutes.
Terminate the programme by
pressing 
A and C
simultaneously.
The time display changes to .
Wait a further minute and then
switch the appliance off.
Turn off the tap.
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 (see ªTransporting the
dishwasherº).
Turn OFF the tap, disconnect the supply
hose and allow to drain.
