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

corresponding Internet address can  
be found on the back page of these  
instructions for use.
Cutlery basket
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.

Top basket with side levers
– Pull out the top basket 1 out. 
–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.
–To  raise the basket, hold the basket on 
the sides of the upper edge and lift it  
up.
– 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
– Pull out the top basket  1 out. 
– Remove the upper basket and re- attach it to the upper (stage 3) or lower 
(stage 1) rollers. 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.
ã=Warning
Read and observe the safety information  
and instructions for use on the packaging  
for cleaning and rinsing agents.
Detergent

Adding detergent
– 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.
– 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 26° Clarke). Over this limit salt  
and rinse-aid must be added.  
As soon as combined detergents  
are used, the rinse programme is adjusted  
automatically to ensure the best possible  
rinsing and drying result.
ã=Warnings
–Do  not place small parts for washing in 
the tablet collecting tray  12; this 
prevents the tablet from dissolving  
evenly.
– 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.

15
Notes 
– You will obtain optimum rinsing 
and drying results by using solo  
detergents and applying salt and rinse 
aid separately.
– If programmes are short, tablets  may not have full cleaning effect due to  
different dissolving properties 
and there may even be undissolved 
detergent residue. It is recommended  
to use washing powder for these  
programmes.
– The Intensive programme (on some  models) requires one tab only. When  
using washing powder, you can apply  
some of this cleaning agent to the 
inside of the appliance’s door.
– Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill  indicator is lit, the rinse programme will 
run correctly with combined 
detergents.
– If using detergents in a water-soluble  protective cover: Take hold of the 
cover with dry hands only and put 
the detergent into an absolutely 
dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise 
the detergent may stick.
– If you switch from combined  detergents to solo detergents, ensure 
that the water softening system and 
amount of rinse aid have been set to 
the correct value.

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

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.

An increased temperature during the final  
rinse and an extended drying phase  
ensure that even plastic parts dry better.  
There is a slight increase in the energy 
consumption.
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.
Aqua
 s ensorAqua 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.
