    BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER/CONNECTIONS
    1. Removing the packaging and controls: 
    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.
    •
    Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, 
    polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as 
    they are potentially dangerous.
    2. Water and electrical connections
    All water and electrical connections must be 
    carried out by a qualified technician in 
    compliance with the manufacturers instructions 
    (refer to the enclosed installation booklet) and 
    current local safety regulations.
    The appliance must only be used in the household 
    for the prescribed uses.
    Do not use the dishwasher if it has been damaged 
    in transit. Consult your local retailer or our After-
    Sales Service.
    (Refer to the separate installation instructions 
    booklet)
    3. Water inlet and drain 
    •
    Observe any special regulations issued by your 
    local Water Board.
    •
    Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are kink-free 
    and are not crushed.
    •
    If the hose length is not sufficient, please contact 
    your local dealer or our After-Sales Service.
    •
    The inlet hose must be securely clamped to the 
    water tap to prevent leaks.
    •
    The inlet water temperature varies according to the 
    model installed. Inlet hose marked ”25°C Max”:
    maximum temperature 25°C.
    All other models: maximum temperature 60°C.
    •
    When installing the appliance, make sure the drain 
    water discharges correctly (if necessary, remove 
    the wire gauze from the sink siphon).
    •
    Fix the drain hose to the spigot with a clamp to 
    prevent it from coming off during operation.
    For appliances with water-stop system only: if the 
    water connections are made correctly, the water-
    stop system safeguards your home against damage 
    caused by flooding.4. Electrical connection
    •
    Closely adhere to local Electricity Board 
    regulations.
    •
    Voltage information is shown on the rating plate 
    mounted inside the door on the right hand side.
    •
    The appliance must be earthed as prescribed by 
    law.
    •
    Do not use extension leads or multiple adapters.
    •
    Before carrying out maintenance, disconnect the 
    mains plug.
    •
    The power cable must only be replaced by a 
    qualified technician.
    • For Austria: 
    if the apparatus is series connected to 
    a fault current switch, this must be sensitive to the 
    pulsating current.

    PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
    1. Packing:
    The packing box may be fully recycled as 
    confirmed by the recycling symbol.
    2. Energy and water saving tips:
    •
    Do not rinse crockery under running water.
    •
    Always fully load the dishwasher before switching 
    on or set the wash programme to half load 
    (if available) if one rack only is loaded.
    •
    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. Refer to the 
    “Connections” chapter in these user instructions.
    3. Disposal:
    The appliance is built from reusable materials. If 
    you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it must be 
    disposed of in compliance with local waste 
    disposal laws. 
    Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that 
    the appliance cannot be connected to the mains.
    4. Child safety
    •
    Children must not be allowed to play with the 
    dishwasher.
    •
    Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt in a dry 
    place out of the reach of children.
    5. General recommendations:
    •
    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: 
    the appliance may topple over!
    •
    Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher: risk of 
    explosion!
    •
    Only use detergents, rinse aids and regeneration 
    salts specially recommended for use in domestic 
    dishwashers.
    •
    Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, 
    switch off the appliance, disconnect the mains 
    plug and turn off the water tap.
    •
    If a fault occurs, switch off the appliance and turn 
    off the water tap.
    •
    If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with 
    another of the same kind obtained from our After-
    Sales Service. The power cable must only be 
    replaced by a qualified technician.
    •
    On completion of the programme switch off the 
    dishwasher and turn off the water tap. For 
    appliances with water stop system, this operation 
    is not necessary.6. For appliances with water stop system:
    The water inlet hose and plastic casing contain 
    electrical components. Do not therefore cut the 
    hose or immerse the plastic casing in water. If the 
    hose is damaged switch off the appliance 
    immediately.

    hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or 
    check the last bill you received). If the water hardness level does not 
    correspond to position 2
     on the selector (setting on delivery) or if the 
    water hardness level changes, set the correct water hardness level on the 
    salt container cap or (according to the model) using system 2 or 3.

    select button   until the required value is reached.
    2.
    As soon as the required water hardness level is reached, press the
    On/Off button.
    System 3:
    1.
    Press and hold the Start button and simultaneously turn the 
    programme dial one position to the left.
    2.
    Release the Start button (the salt level indicator lamp will flash and 
    setting value 2 will be displayed). To change the set value: press the 
    Start button until the required value is reached.

    To fill the salt container
    Warning: only use regeneration salts for use in domestic dishwashers!

    system.
    1.Remove the lower rack.
    2.Unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
    3.When first using the dishwasher: fill the salt container to the rim with 
    water.
    4.Fill the salt container to the rim with salt (using the filler provided)

    residual saline solution straight away and avoid corrosion.
    Salt level indicator
    The dishwasher is equipped with an electric or visual salt level indicator 
    (depending on the model installed).
    Electric indicator

    HOW TO FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
    The rinse aid facilitates drying and prevents the formation of 
    unsightly spots and streaks on crockery. Before using the dishwasher 
    for the first time, fill the rinse aid dispenser.
