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
polypropylene (PP).
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.
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.

In daily use
Warning
Knives and other utensils with sharp points
must be placed in the baskets either flat or
with the points downwards.
Use the dishwasher only in the
household and only for its designed
purpose, i.e. for washing domestic
dishes.
Do not lean or sit on the open door.
The appliance could tip.
The water in the appliance is not
drinking water.
Do not add any solvents to the washing
chamber. Danger of explosion!
Open the door carefully when the
programme is still running. Water could
spray out of the appliance.
To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by
stumbling, open the dishwasher only
briefly in order to load and unload the
dishwasher.
Read and observe the safety
information and instructions for use on
the packaging for cleaning and rinsing
agents.
Children in the household
Do not let infants play or operate the
dishwasher.
Keep cleaning and rinsing agents out of
the reach of infants.
Keep infants away from the open
dishwasher. It could contain residue of
the cleaning agent.
If a fault occurs
Repairs or other work on the
dishwasher should only be carried out
by a qualified specialist.
The dishwasher must be disconnected
from the electricity supply before any
repairs or other work are started. Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket or
switch off at the fuse box. Grasp the
plug to remove it from the socket; do
not tug on the cable. Turn the water off
at the tap.
When disposing of old
appliances
Appliances that have reached the end
of their service life should be rendered
inoperable in order to exclude the
possibility of subsequent accidents. Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket,
cut through the connecting cable and
disable the door lock.
Take the appliance to a designated
waste disposal centre.
Warning
Children could get locked in the appliance
(risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other
positions.
Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the
mains wire and set aside. Damage the
door lock so that the door can no longer
be closed.

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
Press and hold the B programme
button, and set the main switch 
1 to
ON, before releasing the programme
button again.
The indicator lamp for the 
B button
flashes, as does the figure 
 
in the numerical display. The latter
represents the value that was pre-set in
the factory.
To change the setting:
Press the 
B programme button 9.
Every time the button is pressed, the
figure increases by one. After reaching
, the display starts at  again.
Set the main switch 1 to OFF. The
new setting is stored in the appliances
memory.
Approx. 4 litres of water are required for
regenerating the water softening system.
The overall water consumption per load
can therefore be increased by between 0
and a maximum of 4 litres according to the
water hardness setting.

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.
* not included with all models
The LOW SALT indicator 6 on the front 
panel will light up initially but will extinguish
again after a short period when the salt
solution has become sufficiently
concentrated.
Note
When the control is set to 
, it is
not necessary to fill up with salt
as none will be consumed while
the dishwasher is operating. The
LOW SALT indicator is switched
off. If the control is set between
 and , then salt must be
added to the dispenser.
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
Salt refill indicator
As soon as the salt refill indicator 6 is lit
on the control panel, refill with salt
immediately before the next rinse cycle.
Depending on the washing frequency and
the hardness setting, the regeneration salt
may not have to be topped up for several
months.

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 
29.
To open the lid, press the mark (1
) on
the rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift
the lid off the lug (2
).

2
Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole
until the level indicator turns dark.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
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 º4º in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
º±º) or water marks (turn knob towards º+º)
are left on the dishes.

Low rinse-aid indicator
As long as the rinse-aid refill indicator on
the panel

detergent products with an
integrated rinse-aid!
Not suitable for
the dishwasher 
The following should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher:
Wooden cutlery and utensils ± these
will leach out and become unsightly;
even the utilised stickers are not
suitable for the temperatures which
occur.
Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft
utensil and vases, special antique
or irretrievable utensils. These
ornaments are not dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax,
lubricating grease or ink.
Absorbent materials such as sponges
and cloths.
Aluminium and silver parts have
a tendency to discolour and fade during
the wash cycle. Even some types of glass
(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy
after many wash cycles.
Recommendation:
In future buy utensils which are identified
as dishwasher-proof.
