, Rinse aidRinse aid 
As soon as the rinse-aid refill  
indicator H is lit on the fascia, there 
is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1-2 rinsing  
processes. Refill with rinse aid. 
The rinse aid is required for stain-free  
utensils and clear glasses. Use only  
rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. 
Combined detergents with rinse-aid  
component may be used up to a water 
hardness of 21° dH (37° fH,  
26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If  
the water hardness is over 21° dH, 
rinse aid must be used. 
1. Open the dispenser 1j by pressing 
and lifting the plate on the cover.
2. Carefully pour rinse aid up  
to the max. mark in the filler opening. 3.
Close cover until it clicks shut.
4. To prevent excessive foam formation  
during the next rinse cycle, remove  
any rinse aid which has run over with  
acloth.
Setting amount of rinse aid 
The amount of rinse aid can be set from  
§ :‹‹  to  §:‹‡ . Please set rinse aid on 
§ :‹†  to obtain very good drying results 
( § :‹†  is already set in factory).
Change this setting, only if streaks  
(select lower setting) or water stains  
(select higher setting) are left on the  
utensils. 
1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch  (.
3. Hold down programme button  # 
and press START button  ` until 
• :‹ .... is indicated on the digital 
display.
4. Release both buttons. 
The LED for button  # flashes and 
the digital display  h displays the 
factory setting  •:‹… .
5. Press programme button  # until 
the factory set value  §:‹†  is 
indicated on the digital display  h.  
To change the setting: 
1. Press programme button 3.
Each time the button is pressed, the  
set value increases by one level;  
when the value of §:‹‡  has been 
reached, the display jumps back  
to §:‹‹  (off). 
2. Press START button `. 
The set value is saved. 
3. Close the door.

Tip 
Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should  
be placed in the bottom basket. The  
more powerful spray jet provides  
a better dishwashing result. Tip 
Other examples, such as the best way  
of loading your dishwasher, can 
be found on our homepage as a free  
download. The corresponding Internet  
address can be found on the back page  
of these instructions for use.
Cutlery drawer 
Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer  
1*  as illustrated. Separately arranged 
utensils are easier to remove after  
washing. 
The drawer can be taken out. 
Depending on the model, you can fold  
down the side shelves to provide more 
room for taller items of cutlery. The front  
rows of prongs can be folded down  
to provide room for wider handles.

1.
Pull out the top basket  12 out. 
2. To lower  the basket, press in the left 
and then the right lever on the  
outside of the basket. In doing so,  
hold the sides of the basket along  
the upper edge to prevent it from  
suddenly dropping.
3. Toraise  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. 
. 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  
1B ; 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 1B 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

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 ens
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. Open the door.
3. Switch on ON/OFF switch (. 
The Eco 50° programme display  
flashes. This programme remains  
selected if no other programme  
button 0 is pressed. The expected 
programme duration  
flashes on the digital display h.
4. Press the START button `. 
5. Close the door. 
The programme starts running.
Note 
- for environmentally friendly operation  
of the dishwasher: 
For ecological reasons the Eco 50°  
programme is preset whenever the  
appliance starts. This conserves  
environmental resources and not least 
saves you money. 
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.
