Using Your Dishwasher
If the water hardness at your location is over 60°dH, you should
consider using a water-softening device for your dishwasher.
When using well or rain water, the installation of pre-filter is
recommended.
After moving house, remember to reset the water hardness for your
new location.
°dH: German degree 1 °dH = 1 mg CaO/100 ml Water = 0.179 mmol
Use the on/off button to turn the dishwasher on. Turn the programme selection knob until the
multifunction display shows the Settings programme. Press the programme button to access the
Settings menu. Now use the programme selector knob to select the Water hardness programme
and use the programme button to access the menu. The multifunction display now shows "Water
hardness: 3"; this is the factory setting. To select another water hardness setting, turn the programme
selection knob until the desired setting appears. Press the programme button to save your desired
water hardness setting. Your desired degree of water hardness has now been set. Press the Time
Delay button once to return to the "Settings" programme. If you do not want to make any more
settings, use the Time Delay button to return to the main programme selection menu.

Softening the water
Dishwashers require fairly soft water. If the hardness exceeds 6°dH lime scale will form on crockery.
To avoid this an automatic system adds a special salt to soften the water so that you obtain the
best possible cleaning and drying performance.
To find out the hardness level of your water contact your local water company, or use the enclosed
test strip to measure the water hardness:
Turn on the tap and
let the water run for
about a minute.
Hold the test strip in
the water for about a
second.
Remove the test strip
from the water and
shake it.
Wait for 1 minute. The test strip shows
you the hardness
level.

Filling the dishwasher salt
Important
Only use special dishwasher salt in your appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from
the use of the wrong type of salt.
Do not use coarse-grained salt. Small grains or powdered
salt is more easily soluble. Never use culinary or table
salt. These types of salt do not dissolve in water easily
and will damage the softening device.
Remove the lower basket from the appliance.
Open the screw-in cap of the salt container by turning it
counter clockwise (fig. ).
When operating for the first time:
Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container (Fig. ).
Pour the salt into the container with the aid of the salt
funnel provided (Fig. ).
Pour in enough salt to
fill the container. The container holds approx. 2 kg.
Close the cap tightly.
Begin a washing program immediately after filling the salt
container. The washing program prevents damage to the
appliance which may be caused by any spilled salt solution.
After the first washing cycle, the salt level indicator light
will go out.

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids allow washing water to rinse off more cleanly
and prevent watermarks or streaks on the dishes.
Only use rinse aid designed for use in dishwashers.
- Note -
If you use 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents / tablets, you do
not need an additional rinse aid.
Open the rinse aid dispenser by pressing the locking
lever ( )
Carefully pour in rinse aid to the MAX mark.
Close the lid until it clicks ( ).
Carefully wipe off spilled rinse aid. Excessive rinse aid
causes excessive foam formation, which may hinder
cleaning.
Set the dose of rinse aid
The dose of rinse aid to be used can be set by means of
the dispenser regulator (between levels 1 and 6) ( ).
Your appliance is pre-set at the factory to level 3.
Only change the setting if the following applies after
washing:
Watermarks are visible on the dishes: Set dosage
higher
Streaks are visible on the dishes: Set dosage lower
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
- Note -
Only use detergents formulated for use in dishwashers.
Open the detergent container by pushing the locking
lever to the right ( ).
The lines on the inside of the detergent container will
help you measure the correct amount of detergent.
The detergent container holds a total of 40 cm³ of detergent
( ).
When the dishwasher is fully loaded and the dishes are
very dirty, we recommend filling the detergent container
up to the 25 cm³ mark. When the dishes are less dirty,
it is generally sufficient to fill the detergent up to the 15
cm³ mark.
If your dishes have been in the dishwasher for some time
without being washed, you should also fill the small
detergent container up to the line ( ).
The programme table shows the amounts of detergent
required for the different wash programmes.
These may differ according to how dirty the dishes are
and the water hardness in your location.
9
Detergents
There are 3 types of detergents:
1. Phosphate and containing chlorine
2. Phosphate containing, no chlorine
3. Neither containing phosphate nor chlorine
The new compact powders are normally phosphate free. As phosphates have water softening
properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water
is only 6°dH. In hard water areas, if a phosphate free detergent is used, white marks on the
dishes and glasses may be observed. It may be prevented by increasing the amount of
detergent. Detergents without chlorine have less bleaching effect. Coloured stains may not
be fully removed. Choose a programme with a higher wash temperature.
Attention
Always store your detergents in locations which are cool, dry and out of the reach of children.
Pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser before turning the machine on.
Too much detergent may mean that the detergent does not dissolve properly and dishes are
scratched.
TWO-IN-ONE AND THREE-IN-ONE DETERGENTS
You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use a separate detergent, rinse
aid and water-softening salt.
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents known as two-in-one and three-
in-one.
Three-in-one: These products contain detergent, rinse aid and water-softening salt.
Two-in-one: These products contain detergent and either rinse aid or water-softening salt.
In general, you will obtain satisfactory results from combined detergents only under specific
usage conditions. These detergents contain predetermined amounts of rinse aid and/or softening
salt. This means that you cannot adjust the amount of water-softening salt and rinse aid that
you use to suit the water hardness level in your home.
You should bear the following points in mind when using such detergents:
- Be sure to check the specifications of the product you are using and whether it is a combined
product or not.
- Follow the instructions on the packet when using these products.
- The use of these products at the correct appliance settings will ensure economical
use of salt and/or rinse aid.
- If the detergent is in tablet form, never place these in the internal section or cutlery basket
of the dishwasher. Always place the tablets in the detergent dispenser of the detergent holder.
Using three-in-one detergent: detergent, softening salt and rinse aid
- These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using
separate detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance:
Put your appliances rinse aid setting at 1 and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used
up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser.
- If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher than 1, contact with the hands
may leave rainbow-coloured water stains on the washed items and inside the machine.
- If you use combined detergents without adding salt, lime scale may form especially on
glasses. To avoid lime scale formation:
Put your appliances water softener setting at 1 and add salt. When the salt is used up,
add more salt to the water softener.
Using two-in-one detergent: detergent and softening salt
- These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use the rinse aid setting as
described in the manual, making sure that there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with
every wash and that you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every time it is empty.
Using two-in-one detergent: detergent and rinse aid
- These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by
using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance:

which are suited to the dishwasher.
Only in this manner will you obtain optimal washing results with a sensible use of energy.
5
Put your appliances rinse aid setting at 1 and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used
up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser.
- If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher than 1, contact with the hands
may leave rainbow-coloured water stains on the washed items and inside the machine.
- These detergents do not contain softening salt so you need to use the softening setting as
described in the manual, making sure that there is water-softening salt in the water softener
with every wash and that you refill the water softener with salt every time it is empty.
Important warning
- Should you encounter a problem that has previously never occured after you start using
these detergents, contact the detergent manufacturer directly. You will find contact details on
the packet.
If you stop using this kind of detergent:
- Ensure that the salt and rinse aid dispensers are full.
- Put the water hardness setting at
the highest level and run a wash cycle with the appliance
empty.
- After washing while empty,
return the water hardness setting to the correct level for your
mains water hardness shown in the manual.
- Put the rinse aid setting at the correct level.

Use the High-Speed button to shorten the selected
programme if your dishes are only slightly soiled. Selecting
this option means, for example, that the dishwasher then
uses higher water pressure and consumes approx. 25 %
less water and electricity.
- Use the Night button if you would like to wash your
dishes at night, whether you want to take advantage of
night-time power rates or you simply want to clean dishes
first thing in the morning. This lowers the water pressure
used, producing less noise and consuming less electricity.
You can also use this function if you would like to wash
more fragile items.
The following table shows which options are available for
each programme. If a particular option is not available for
the programme selected, this is indicated in the multifunction
display.
To add an option to the programme:
1. Use the programme selector knob to select a
programme, or use button to select the autosense
programme.
2. Use the option buttons , and to select the desired
option. The LED indicator for the appropriate button and the
corresponding symbol in the display light up.
3. Use the Start/Stop button to start the programme.
The High-Speed and Night options cannot be selected at
the same time because they cancel each other out. Only
the last selected option is activated. This can be seen on
the buttons LED indicator and by the symbol shown in the
display.
Pressing the option button again cancels the selection and
the respective symbols light goes out.
Programme selection
After you have switched the appliance on, use the programme
selector knob to select the desired programme according
to the level of soiling, or simply select the autosense program
function . Use the Start/Stop button to start the programme
shown in the multifunction display.
The time remaining on the selected programme is shown in
the multifunction display . The programme duration may
vary according to the room temperature, tap water
temperature, and the amount of dishes. The remaining run
time may therefore adjust itself as the programme runs.
Time Delay
The Time Delay button allows you to delay the start time of
a programme by up to 24 hours. This is only possible if the
programme has not yet started.
Use the programme selector knob to select the desired
programme or choose the autosense programme .
Press the Time Delay button .The symbol for the activated
time delay , the hourglass, briefly lights up in the
multifunction display.
You can now use the programme selector knob to select
the desired time delay
which is shown in display . The
programme selector knob can be turned both clockwise and
counter clockwise.
Use the Start/Stop button to activate the time delay. The
time remaining and the hourglass are shown in the
multifunction display until the programme begins. Once the
time set has been reached, the selected programme starts
automatically; the display will then show the time remaining
on the programme.

Repeat the procedure to turn off the child lock. This
locking mechanism is automatically deactivated when
the programme finishes. The symbol light will then go
out.
The lock does not lock the door, but simply prevents
the programme from being changed.
Cancelling a Programme
To interrupt a programme or a time delay, press the
Start/Stop button for approx. 5 seconds. The button
indicator begins to blink, and the multifunction display
shows "End programme". Once the cancellation process
has been completed, the display shows "End". If you now
wish to select a new programme or function, it will start
at the beginning and not at the stage in the programme
at which the previous programme was stopped.
Depending on when you stopped the wash programme,
there may still be detergent or rinse aid on the dishes.
Child Lock
The programme can be locked while the appliance is
running.
Activate the child lock by pressing the programme button
and the time delay button simultaneously for approx.
3 seconds. The corresponding symbol will be shown
in the multifunction display.
Salt and rinse aid indicators
When the indicators for salt and rinse aid light up,
the respective reservoirs must be refilled.
Warnings
The dishwasher can display various warnings during the
wash cycle.
Programme Progress Display
The multifunction display will show you the stage the
current programme has reached. The status indicators
use the symbols - to indicate which programme
stages have already been started and completed. Only
those programme sections which have been completed
are shown.
The selected programme is only completed when the
symbol lights up, the time remaining is shown as
"00:00", and the multifunction display shows "End".
Additionally, the dishwasher plays a 2-minute melody
when the programme is completed (unless you have shut
off this option; Volume = 0). This signal stops when the
door is opened or any button (except the Start/Stop button)
is pressed.
In the case of the Mini 30' programme, the dishes are
dried by their own residual heat and the drying status
indicator does not light up. The programme is finished
only when the indicators described above appear in the
multifunction display.
Changing the Programme
If you wish to change a programme or an option while
the time delay is active or once the programme has
started, press the Start/Stop button . This deactivates
the time delay. You can now use the programme selector
knob to select another programme or option. Use the
Start/Stop button to start the new programme. However,
the new programme will continue from the point at which
the previous programme was stopped. Options can be
changed only during active time delay, not while a
programme is running.

or squeezed.
Check that the drainage hose is firmly seated.
Extension hoses
If a hose extension is required, a drainage hose of equal
quality must be used.
The maximum length must not exceed 4m. Using a longer
hose will produce poorer cleaning results
Siphon connection
The drainage height must be between 50 and 100 cm
above the floor.
Use hose clamps to fasten the drainage hose to the
siphon.
Electrical connection
Please refer to the type plate for information on current
type, mains voltage, and fuse protection.
The type plate is located on the inside of the door.
The mains plug must be freely accessible after installation.
Power cables and insulated cables must not be accessible
(exposed) after installation.
Installing Your Dishwasher
Choose a suitable location for your dishwasher. Take
care to ensure that the appliance is stable on a level
surface.
Unevenness in the floor can be equalised by adjusting
the screw feet. When the appliance is standing correctly,
the door can be closed without difficulty.
Water inlet and drainage hoses must be positioned so
that they can move freely without bending or squeezing.
The appliance may not be installed in a room where
the temperature is below 0° Celsius.
Water connection
The dishwasher may be connected to cold and warm
water to a maximum temperature of 60° Celsius.
The dishwasher may not be connected to open warm
water devices or flow-through water heaters.
Connect water inlet hose
Ensure that the water inlet hose is not bent or squeezed.
Do not install a used hose set.
Use a screw-on hose connector to connect the water
inlet hose to a water tap with a ¾ inch external thread.
If required, use a filter insert to filter deposits from the
pipes.
Check that the connection does not leak.
Important
For safety reasons, turn off the tap after every rinse
process.
Lowest permitted
water pressure:
0.3 bars = 3 N/cm² = 30 kPa
When the water pressure is
below1 bar, please contact your
technician.
Permitted water pressure:
When the water pressure is above
10 bars, a pressure reduction valve
must be installed (available in trade
supply stores).
Highest permitted
water pressure:
10 bar = 100N/cm² = 1MPa
AQUASAFE+ (some models)
The Aquasafe+ System protects against water damage
which may be caused at the water inlet hose.
Do not immerse the systems valve box into water; it
contains electrical components.
In case of damage, pull out the power supply plug.
Do not shorten or lengthen the hose insert as it contains
electrical cables and components.
