What to do if...
Crockery and cutlery... Possible causes... Solutions...
...have discoloured plastic parts
- Tomato/Carrot juice.
- Tomato sauce, for example, can lead to discolouring of plastic parts. Powder 
detergent is recommended as it allows slightly higher doses to be used for 
improved whitening. Programs with higher wash temperatures should be used.
...opaque glasses, etc.
- Dishes unsuitable for washing in 
dishwashers (porcelain),
- Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes.
...removable deposits on glasses
- Usage of incorrect programs for glasses.
- Dishes should be put together, to avoid touching each other. Do not put glassware 
together in baskets. Use suitable program for glass.
...glasses not sparkling
- Not conform of glasses to washing in 
dishwashers (porcelain).
- Some kinds of glass cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
...permanent deposits on glasses
-Rainbow effect.
- This phenomenon is irreversible. We recommend in future:
- Change the control of system of dosage of softener.
- Be careful – follow recommended detergent dosage.
- For combined action tablets see detergent producer’s recommendations.
...tea cups darken and dirt does 
not disappear after washing in 
dishwasher
- Not known.
- This phenomenon is inevitable. Theine alters colours permanently.
...rust marks
- Pre-wash program not used.
- Salty or acidic food residues can cause rust marks even on stainless steel cutlery. To 
avoid this, always use the Pre-wash program if the dishes are to be washed later.
...other marks
- Rinse aid dosage too low.
- In the presence of marks, increase the rinse aid dosage (see page 4, “Adding rinse aid”).
- If you use a combined action detergent, try adding more rinse aid.
...streaks
- Rinse aid dosage too high.
- In the presence of streaks, reduce the rinse aid dosage (see page 4, “Adding rinse aid”).
- If you use a combined action detergent which includes rinse aid, do not add any 
additional rinse aid.
...suds
- Unsuitable dosage of detergent/rinse aid.
- Only use the amount of detergent/rinse aid required, since excessive amounts can 
lead to excess suds.
If, after carrying out the above checks, the fault persists, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap. Contact the After-sales Service (see warranty).
Before contacting our After-Sales Service, take note of the following:
- the description of the fault,
- the appliance type and model,

Precautions and general recommendations
1. Packing
The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol  .
2. Removing the packaging and inspecting the contents
After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door 
closes correctly. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician or your local retailer. 
3. Before using the dishwasher for the first time
- The appliance is designed to operate at ambient temperatures of between 5°C and 45°C.
- This dishwasher has been tested by the manufacturer to ensure it functions correctly. 
Such testing may leave slight drips/water marks which will disappear with the first wash.
4. Energy and water savings
- Do not rinse crockery under running water.
- Always fully load the dishwasher before running it or select the “Half load/
Multizone” option (if available).
- If ecological energy sources are available such as solar panel heating, heat pumps or 
centralised heating systems, the appliance may be connected to the hot water 
mains up to a maximum temperature of 60°C. Make sure the water inlet hose is of 
the correct type (“70°C Max” or “90°C Max”).
5. Child safety
- Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children. 
- Children must not be allowed to play with the dishwasher. 
- Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt out of the reach of children.
6. Safety warnings

persons, unless adequately supervised by a responsible adult capable of 
guaranteeing safe use of the appliance. 
- Do not operate the appliance in the open air. 
- Do not store flammable materials in close proximity to the dishwasher. 
- The water in the dishwasher is not potable. 
- Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher: 
risk of explosion! 
- Be careful when the door is open: 
risk of tripping! 
- The open dishwasher door can only support the weight of the loaded rack when 
pulled out. Do not rest objects on the open door or sit or stand on it.
- Sharp items that might cause injury (e.g. knives), must be placed in the cutlery 
basket with the sharp end facing downwards. Long-handled utensils must be 
arranged horizontally in the upper rack, with the sharp end facing away from the 
front of the appliance.
- Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, disconnect the mains plug and turn 
off the water tap; also in the event of any malfunction.
- Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
7. Resistance to frost
If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be 
drained completely. Turn off the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let 
all the water drain away. Make sure there is at least 1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt 
in the salt container, to protect the appliance from temperatures of up to -20°C. 
When the program resumes, an error message may be indicated (see page 9).
CANCEL/Off indicator blinks 6 times - the appliance must remain at an ambient 
temperature of min. 5°C for at least 24 hours. 
After eliminating these faults, RESET the appliance (see chapter “What to do if...”).
