Do not switch on a damaged appliance, but contact your supplier. Please dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner. Do not let children play with packaging and its parts. There is a risk of suffocation from collapsible boxes and film. Warning Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points downwards or horizontally on the knife shelf *. * depending on model Children in the household If fitted, use the childproof lock. An exact description can be found in the back of the envelope. Do not allow children to play with or operate the appliance. Keep children away from detergents and rinse aid. These may cause chemical burns in the mouth, throat and eyes or asphyxiation. Keep children away from open dishwasher. The water in the rinsing compartment is not drinking water and could contain detergent residue. Ensure that children do not place fingers in the tablet collecting tray 22 . Small fingers could become caught in the slots. If the appliance is installed at eye-level, ensure when opening and closing the door that children are not caught or crushed between the appliance door and the cupboard door situated below. Installation Read the "Installation" chapter to learn how to install and connect the appliance correctly. In daily use Use the dishwasher only in the household and only for its designed purpose, i.e. for washing domestic dishes. Do not lean or sit on the open door. The appliance could tip. Please note that free-standing appliances may tip over if the baskets are overloaded. Do not add any solvents to the washing chamber. Danger of explosion! Open the door carefully when the programme is still running. There is a risk of hot water spraying out of the appliance. To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by stumbling, open the dishwasher only briefly in order to load and unload the dishwasher. Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents. Childproof lock (door lock) The description of the childproof lock is at the back in the envelope. Damage The appliance may be repaired and opened up by a technician only. To do this, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse. Turn off the tap. 4 en Disposal Make redundant appliances unusable to prevent subsequent accidents. Dispose of the appliance in an environmentally friendly manner. Warning Children could become locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation) or find themselves in other dangerous situations. Therefore: Pull out the mains plug, sever and dispose of the power cord. Destroy the door lock so that the door can no longer be closed. Getting to know your appliance Diagrams of the control panel and the interior of the appliance can be found in the envelope at the front. Individual positions are referred to in the text.

Tap water above a specific degree of water hardness must be softened, i.e. descaled, for use in a dishwasher. Water is softened with special salt in the water softening system of the dishwasher. The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table). Set The amount of salt dispensed can be set in 4 stages depending on the hardness of your water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see table). Factory setting: 1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water supply company or customer service will assist you. Setting can be found in the water hardness table. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1 . Press and hold down the Start button 4. Rotate programme selector 3 until the salt refill indicator 8 flashes. Release button. The salt refill indicator 8 flashes and the display "Check water supply" 9 are lit (= Setting 1). Change the setting as follows: Rotate programme selector 3 until the required setting has been selected. Press Start button 4 . The salt refill indicator 8 goes out. The selected setting is saved. Water hardness table Hardness range soft medium hard hard _Clarke 0­8 9­20 21­26 27­44 mmol/l 0­1.1 1.2­2.9 3.0­3.7 3.8­6.2 Setting 0 1 2 3 6 en Salt Using salt Always refill with salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 25 . Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time). Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets). The water is displaced and runs out. As soon as the salt refill indicator 8 on the fascia is lit, top up the salt. Switching off salt refill indicator/water softening system If the salt refill indicator 8 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off. Proceed as described under "Setting" and set the value to 0. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off. Warnings Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system. To prevent corrosion, always refill with salt immediately before switching on the appliance. * depending on model Using detergents with salt component If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, salt must be used. 7 en Rinse aid As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator 7 lights up on the control panel, 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. Open the dispenser 29 by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover. Setting amount of rinse-aid The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set in 4 stages. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see water hardness table). Factory setting: 2. Do not change the amount of rinse-aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils. Close the door. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1 . Press and hold down the Start button 4. Rotate programme selector 3 until the rinse-aid refill indicator 7 flashes. Release button. The rinse-aid refill indicator 7 flashes and are lit and the displays (= Setting 2). Change the setting as follows: Rotate programme selector 3 until the required setting has been selected. Press Start button 4 . The rinse-aid refill indicator 7 goes out. The selected setting is saved. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening. Switching off rinse-aid refill indicator If the rinse-aid refill indicator 7 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse-aid component), it can be switched off. Proceed as described under "Setting amount of rinse aid" and select setting 0. The rinse-aid refill indicator 7 is now switched off. Close cover until it clicks shut. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth. 8 en Utensils Not suitable Cutlery and utensils made of wood. Delicate decorative glasses, craft and antique utensils. These decors are not dishwasher-proof. Plastic parts not resistant to heat. Copper and tin utensils. Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles. Loading the dishwasher Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water. Place the utensils so that D they are secure and cannot tip over. D all utensils with their openings face down. D parts with curves or indentations are at an angle, thereby allowing water to drain. D does not obstruct rotation of the two spray arms 23 and 24 . Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets. Glass and utensil damage Causes: Glass type and glass production process. Chemical composition of the detergent. Water temperature of the wash programme. Recommendation: Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-proof. Use a detergent which protects utensils. Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme ends. Unloading the dishwasher To prevent water from dri ...
