Loading the dishwasher 
1.
Remove large food remnants. It is  
not necessary to prerinse utensils  
under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that 
– they are secure and cannot tip 
over.
– all utensils with their openings  face down.
– parts with curves or indentations  are at an angle, thereby allowing  
water to drain.
– does not obstruct rotation of the  two spray arms  1: and  1B.
Very small utensils should not be 
washed in the machine, as they may fall 
out of the baskets.
Unloading the dishwasher 
To prevent water from dripping off the  
upper basket onto the utensils in the  
lower basket, it is recommended  
to empty the appliance from the bottom 
up. 
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!  
Therefore, when the programme ends,  
leave the utensils to cool down in the 
dishwasher until they can be handled. 
Note 
When the programme ends, water  
droplets can still be seen inside  
the appliance. This does not affect  
the drying of the utensils. Cups and glasses

Tip 
Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should  
be placed in the bottom basket. The  
more powerful spray jet provides  
a better dishwashing result.

address can be found on the back page  
of these instructions for use.

You should always place cutlery  
unsorted with the points downwards.   
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed  
implements and knives on the knife 
shelf.

The etagere and the space underneath  
can be used for small cups and glasses  
or for larger items of cutlery, such as 
wooden spoons or serving cutlery. The  
etagere can be folded up if not required.  
* Depending on the model, a 3-fold  
height adjustment is possible. To do 
this, first place the etagere vertically  
and pull up, then place at a slight angle,  
push down to the required height (1, 2, 
or 3) and snap into place.

To raise  the basket, hold the basket 
on the sides of the upper edge and  
lift it up.
4. Before re-inserting the basket again, 
ensure that it is at the  same height 
on both sides. Otherwise, the 
appliance door cannot be closed 
and the upper spray arm will not be  
connected to the water circuit. 
Top basket with upper and  
lower roller pairs 
1. Pull out the top basket  1 out. 
2. Remove the upper basket and re- 
attach it to the upper (stage 3) or  
lower (stage 1) rollers.
. DetergentDetergent
You can use tablets as well as powder  
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but 
never use washing up liquid.  
The dosage can be individually adjusted  
with powder or a liquid detergent  
according to the degree of soiling.  
Tablets contain an adequately large  
amount of active ingredients 
for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful  
detergents predominantly use a low- 
alkaline formulation with phosphate 
and enzymes. Phosphates bond  
the lime in the water. Enzymes break  
down starch and remove protein. 
Phosphate-free detergents are less  
frequent. These have a slightly weaker  
lime bonding capacity and require 
a higher dosage. To remove coloured  
stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen- 
based bleaching agents are usually 
used. 
Note 
To ensure a good washing result,  
always follow the instructions  
on the detergent packaging!
If you have further questions,  
we recommend that you contact  
the detergent manufacturers’ helpline. ãWarning –  Read and observe the 
safety information and instructions for  
use on the packaging for cleaning and  
rinsing agents.

Adding detergent 
1.
If the detergent dispenser  9 is still 
closed, press the lock  9* to open 
the detergent dispenser. 
Pour detergent into the dry detergent  
dispenser 9 only (insert tablet flat, 
not on its edge). 
Dosage: see manufacturer’s 
instructions on the packaging.  
The graduated detergent  
dispenser 9 helps you add the 
correct amount of powder or liquid  
detergent. 
Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate 
for normal soiling. If using tablets,  
one tablet is adequate.
2. Close the cover on the detergent  
dispenser by sliding it up until the  
lock engages without difficulty. 
The detergent dispenser opens  
automatically at the optimum time  
depending on the programme. 
The powder or liquid detergent  
is distributed in the appliance and is  
dissolved, the tablet falls into 
the tablet collecting tray where it  
dissolves in doses. Tip 
If the utensils are only lightly soiled,  
slightly less than the indicated amount  
of detergent is usually adequate.  
Suitable detergents and care products  
can be purchased online 
via our website or via customer service  
(see back page). 
Combination detergent 
Apart from conventional detergents  
(Solo), a number of products are offered  
with additional functions. These 
products contain not only the detergent  
but also rinse-aid and salt replacement  
substances (3in1) and, depending 
on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.),  
additional components such as glass  
protection or stainless steel cleaner. 
Combination detergents function only  
up to a specific degree of hardness  
(usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt 
and rinse-aid must be added.  
As soon as combined detergents  
areused, therinse programme  
is adjusted automatically to ensure 
the best possible rinsing and drying  
result. ã Warning –  Do not place small parts 
for washing in the tablet collecting tray  
12 ; this prevents the tablet from 
dissolving evenly. ã Warning –  If you want to add more 
utensils after the programme  
has started, do  not use the tablet 
collecting tray 12 as a handle 
for the upper basket. The tablet could  
already be there and you will touch  
the partially dissolved tablet.

This function can reduce the running  
time by approx. 20% to 50% depending 
on the selected rinse programme. The  
change in the running time is indicated  
on the digital display H. To obtain 
optimum cleaning results at a reduced  
running time, water and energy  
consumption are increased.
Ha lf  lo ad§  Half load *
If you have only a few items to wash  
(e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can  
switch to “half load”. This will save 
water, energy and time. It is  
recommended to put a little less  
detergent in the detergent dispenser 
than for a full load.

Programme data 
The programme data (consumption  
values) can be found in the summary of 
instructions. They refer to normal  
conditions and the water hardness set  
value  •:‹… . Different influencing factors 
such as e.g. water temperature or line  
pressure may result in deviations.
Aq u
a s en s
orAqua sensor *
* depending on model 
The Aqua sensor is an optical  
measuring device (light barrier) which  
measures the turbidity of the rinsing 
water. 
The Aqua sensor is used according to  
the programme. If the Aqua sensor is  
active, “clean” rinsing water can be  
transferred to the next rinse bath and 
water consumption can be reduced by  
3–6 litres. If the turbidity is greater, the  
water is drained and is replaced with 
fresh water. In the automatic  
programmes the temperature and  
running time can also be adjusted to the 
degree of soiling. 
Switching on the appliance 
1. Turn on the tap fully.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch  (. 
3. Rotate programme selector  8 to 
the required programme. 
The expected programme duration  
flashes on the digital display  H.
4. Press START button  @.
The programme starts running. Note 
- for environmentally friendly operation  
of the dishwasher: 
The Eco 50° programme is a  
particularly environmentally friendly 
programme. According to EU  
regulation 1016/2010 it is the  
“Standard programme” which is the 
most efficient standard cleaning cycle  
for cleaning normally soiled utensils in  
terms of the combined energy and 
water consumption for cleaning these  
types of utensils.
Remaining running time  
display 
When the programme is selected, the  
remaining running time of the  
programme is indicated on the digital 
display  H. 
The running time is determined during  
the programme by the water  
temperature, the number of utensils as 
well as the degree of soiling and may  
vary (depending on the selected  
programme).
