Do not use a damaged appliance, but consult your supplier. Please dispose of packaging material properly: D The corrugated cardboard consists mainly of waste paper. D The polystyrene moulded parts have been foamed without any CFCs. D The polyethylene film (PE) consists partly of secondary raw material. D The wooden frames (if fitted) are made of residual wood and are untreated. D The hoops (if fitted) consist of polypropylene (PP). Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable. After the appliance has been installed, the mains plug should still be easily accessible. Not on all models: The plastic housing on the water input contains an electrically operated valve. The connecting wires are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose and do not immerse the plastic housing in water. Warning For safety reasons, if the appliance is not fitted in a recess, thereby making a side wall accessible, the door hinge area should be covered at the side. (Risk of injury) Covers are available as optional accessories from customer services or specialist stores. Installation Install and connect the appliance according to the installation and assembly instructions. The dishwasher must NOT be connected to the power supply during installation. Ensure that the protective conductor system of the domestic electricity supply has been installed correctly. Electrical connection conditions must correspond with the specifications on the rating plate of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher is to be installed in a high-sided unit, ensure that the unit is attached properly and also at the rear. In daily use Warning Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be placed in the baskets either flat or with the points downwards. 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. 4 en The water in the appliance is not drinking water. Do not add any solvents to the washing chamber. Danger of explosion! Open the door carefully when the programme is still running. Water could spray 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. Child-proof lock* * some models Comply with the drawings in the back of the envelope. 40 Switch on the child-proof lock 41 Open the door with child-proof lock switched on 42 Switch off the child-proof lock When the door is open, the child-proof lock offers no protection. If a fault occurs Repairs or other work on the dishwasher should only be carried out by a qualified specialist. The dishwasher must be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work are started. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket or switch off at the fuse box. Grasp the plug to remove it from the socket; do not tug on the cable. Turn the water off at the tap. Children in the household Do not let infants play or operate the dishwasher. Keep cleaning and rinsing agents out of the reach of infants. These may cause chemical burns in the mouth, throat and eyes or asphyxiation. Keep infants away from the open dishwasher. It could contain residue of the cleaning agent. 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. When disposing of old appliances Appliances that have reached the end of their service life should be rendered inoperable in order to exclude the possibility of subsequent accidents. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket, cut through the connecting cable and disable the door lock. Take the appliance to a designated waste disposal centre. Warning Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other positions. Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the mains wire and set aside. Damage the door lock so that the door can no longer be closed. 5 en 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. Appliance interior 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Control panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Main switch Door Opener Programme selector (retractable*) Additional options* "Check water supply" display Salt refill indicator Rinse-aid refill indicator Digital display Upper basket with additional cup rack Additional cutlery basket for the top basket* Top spray arm Bottom spray arm Dispenser for salt Filters Cutlery basket Bottom basket Lock for detergent dispenser Dispenser for rinse aid Detergent dispenser Rating plate * some models * some models You will need to purchase the following before using the dishwasher for the first time: ­ special salt for use in dishwashers ­ detergent ­ rinse-aid Only use products, which are suitable for dishwashers. 6 en Water softener In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher. The water softener, that is the required amount of salt, is set up according to how hard the tap water is. Close the door Rotate the programme selector 3 from the 12 o'clock position by one notch to the left. Setting up the water softener Determine the level of hardness of your tap water. Your local water company or service agent can help you with this. Identify setting from the following water hardness table. Water hardness table Switch on main switch 1 and hold down for at least 3 sec. The digital display 8 indicates the current set hardness value and the salt refill indicator 6 flashes (hardness value has been set to 4 at the factory). To change the setting: Rotate the programme selector 3 . You can select a set value between 0 and 7 according to the hardness of your water. Switch off the main switch 1 . The chosen setting has now been stored. Approx. 4 litres of water are required for regenerating the water softening system. The overall water consumption per load can therefore be increased by between 0 and a maximum of 4 litres according to the water hardness setting. 7 en Filling in the Salt Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 24 . Warning Before switching on the appliance for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt dispenser. Then refill with salt (not cooking salt) until the salt container is full (max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt, water is being displaced and drains off. Then clean the filling area of salt residues and screw the compartment lid back on without tilting the lid. The LOW SALT indicator 6 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated. If the set hardness value is , do not add salt because no salt is used during operation; the salt refill indicator is switched off. Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener. Salt refill indicator As soon as the salt refill indicator 6 is lit on the control panel, refill with salt immediately before the next rinse cycle. Depending on the washing frequency and the hardness setting, the regeneration salt may not have to be topped up for several months. Refill with salt always just before switching on the appliance in order to prevent corrosion. As a result, any salt solution which has run over will be immediately diluted and flushed out. 8 en Adding rinse aid The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers. Open the cover on the rinse-aid dispenser 29 . To do this, press the mark (1 ) on the cover and simultaneously lift the cover on the control plate (2 ). Adjusting the amount of rinse-aid The amount of rinse-aid added to the water can be varied by adjusting the stepless control. The rinse-aid control has been set to "4" in the factory. Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid control unless streaks (turn knob towards "­") or water marks (turn knob towards "+") are left on the dishes. 29 Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just below the edge of the filler opening. Rinse aid controller Rinse-aid refill indicator As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator lights up on the control panel 7 , refill with rinse aid. If using detergent products with integrated rinse aid, the rinse-aid refill indicator can be switched off (see "Switching the rinse-aid refill indicator off and on" in the "auto 3in1" chapter). Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth. 9 en Not suitable for the dishwasher The following should not be cleaned in the dishwasher: Wooden cutlery and utensils ­ these will leach out and become unsightly; even the utilised stickers are not suitable for the temperatures which occur. Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft utensil and vases, special antique or irretrievable utensils. These ornaments are not dishwasher-proof. Plastic parts sensitive to hot water. Copper and tin utensils. Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. Absorbent materials such as sponges and cloths. 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. Recommendation: In future buy utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof. Damage to glassware and other dishes Possible causes: type of glass or manufacturing process chemical composition of detergent water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme. Suggested remedy: Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked 'dishwasher­proof' by the manufacturer. Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers. Select a programme with as low a temperature and as short a duration as possible. To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended. 10 en Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher Loading the dishwasher Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in such a way that D items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down, D curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off, D they are stacked securely and cannot tip over, D they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets. Pots and pans Lower basket 27 Cutlery Cutlery should be placed in the dishwasher always unsorted and with the eating surface pointing downwards. The spray jet is then better able to reach the individual parts. To prevent injuries, place long, pointed accessories and knives on the étagère (some models) or on the knife shelf (available as an accessory). Removing the dishes To prevent water dripping from the top basket onto the dishes in the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the top basket. Cups and glasses Upper basket 20 Folding spikes * * on applicable models To improve stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down. * not included with all models 11 en Shelf * * not on all models Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf ­ not against other items to be washed. Adjusting position of basket * * not on all models Ø max. 20/*25cm Ø max. 20/*25cm 81cm Ø max. 30/*25cm 86cm Ø max. 34/*29cm Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back when not required for use. Small accessories holder* * some models Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder. If required, the height of the top basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils either in the top or bottom basket. Select one of the two following procedures according to the design of the top basket for your appliance model: Top basket with upper and lower roller pairs Pull out the top basket. Remove the top basket and re-attach it to the upper or lower rollers. 12 en Top basket with side levers (Rackmatic) Pull out the top basket. Baking sheet spray head * * some models You can clean large baking sheets or grilles with the baking sheet spray head. To do this, remove the top basket and insert the spray head as illustrated in the diagram. To lower the basket, press in succession the two levers on the left and right sides of the basket. Always take hold of the side of the basket on the upper edge, otherwise the basket will not drop smoothly (and may damage the utensils). To ensure that the spray jet can reach all parts, arrange the baking sheets as illustrated (max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles). To raise the basket, take hold of the basket on the upper edge and pull upwards. Before you re-insert the basket, 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 connect to the water circuit. Note Never operate the dishwasher without the top basket or baking sheet spray head! 13 en Detergents Information about detergents You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have been specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal washing-up liquid!) Nowadays there are three types of dishwasher detergent available: 1. those containing phosphates and chlorine, 2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine, 3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine. When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser. Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or plastic items become discoloured. This can be resolved by: D selecting a higher temperature programme, or D increasing the amount of detergent, or D using a detergent that contains chlorine. Check the label on the detergent packaging to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware. If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the customer advice departments of the various detergent manufacturers. Detergent compartment with measuring marks The side of the detergent compartment is marked with lines to help you determine how much powder to add. The capacity of the detergent container is 15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to the middle line. When the compartment is full it contains 40 ml. If the detergent dispenser 30 is still closed, press the lock 28 to open the detergent dispenser. Adding detergent Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent. Please observe the manufacturer's instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage. Important Due to the different solvency properties of the detergent tablets supplied by various manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of the detergent may not be fully utilised by short programmes. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes. 14 en If using the "Intensive" programme (some models), also pour approx. 10­15 ml of detergent onto the appliance door. If using tablets, also place a tablet on the appliance door. Reduce costs! If your dishes are only moderately dirty, you may be able to use less detergent than recommended. Close the lid on the detergent compartment. Press down the lid (1) until it clicks shut (2). auto 3in1 The use of so-called combined detergent products may make the use of rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary. There are currently several types of combined detergent products available. 3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid and salt function. 2in1: They contain detergent and rinse aid or salt function. >>> Always check the type of detergent or combined product which you are using! Always follow the operating instructions or the information on the packaging. The rinse programme is automatically adjusted in order to obtain the best possible rinsing and drying result. Observe the following important information if using combined cleaning products: Regeneration salt is not required up to a water hardness of 21_ dH (37_ fH, 26_ Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other settings on the appliance are required. Salt is still required if the water hardness is above 21_ dH (37_ fH, 26_Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt dispenser with salt 24 and select setting 6 on the water softening system. If in doubt, please contact the detergent manufacturer, especially if: the utensils are very wet at the end of the programme. limescale forms. If you are using detergent in tablet form, read the manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging in order to determine where the tablets should be placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in cutlery basket, detergent compartment, etc.). Make sure that the lid on the detergent compartment is closed, even if you are using tablets. 15 en Note Optimum rinsing and drying results can be obtained by using standard detergents in conjunction with separate application of salt and rinse aid. Observance of the operating instructions or information on the packaging of the combined detergents determines their effectiveness. Note Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs correctly when 3in1 products are used. If the rinse aid refill indicator 7 or salt refill 6 indicator is defective and you would like to switch it off, proceed as follows: Switch on main switch 1 and hold down for at least 3 sec. The digital display 8 indicates the current set hardness value and the salt refill indicator 6 flashes (hardness value has been set to 4 at the factory). To change the setting: Rotate the programme selector 3 . You can select a set value between 0 and 7 according to the hardness of your water. Switch off the main switch 1 . The chosen setting has now been stored. Note If you use the detergent and rinse aid separately or switch from combined detergents to standard cleaning products, ensure that the rinse aid refill indicator has been switched on and the water softening system has been set to the correct water hardness. Switching the salt refill indicator / water softening system off and on Close the door Rotate the programme selector 3 from the 12 o'clock position by one notch to the left. Switching the rinse-aid refill indicator off or on* * some models You can switch off the rinse-aid refill indicator 7 if you use a detergent with integrated rinse-aid. Close the door. Press and hold down button A . Press main switch 1 until the digital display lights up. Release both buttons. The digital display 8 indicates (rinse-aid refill indicator) and the button A flashes. By pressing button A you can switch the rinse-aid indicator off or on . Switch off the main switch 1 ; The setting is saved. "Remember to switch on the rinse-aid refill indicator again if you use a detergent without an integrated rinse-aid!" 16 en Programme overview This overview lists the max. possible number of programmes. The programmes supplied with your appliance are indicated on the fascia. Type of crockery e.g.china, Nonpots/pans, delicate cutlery, glasses, etc. Type of food remains Soups, casseroles, sauces, potatoes, pasta, rice, eggs, roast or fried food a lot stuck on hard Mixed Delicate Mixed Soups, potatoes, pasta, rice, eggs, roast or fried food Coffee, cakes, milk, sausage, cold drinks, salads very little Amount of food remains Condition of food remains Wash programme a little loosely attached Rinse off if the dishes have been stacked for several days in the dishwasher prior to washing.

You will find the appropriate programme information in the introduction. 17 en Washing dishes Reduce costs! If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting a programme that operates at the next lowest temperature will usually suffice. Switching on the appliance Close the door. Turn on the tap fully. Rotate programme selector 3 to the required programme. Switch on the main switch 1 . The expected programme duration is indicated on the numerical display 8 . The programme sequence starts automatically. Programme specifications The programme specifications can be found in the summary of instructions. Programme specifications refer to normal conditions. Greater deviations may occur due to: varying amounts of dishes water supply temperature water pipe pressure ambient temperature mains voltage tolerances and the tolerances specific to the appliance (e.g. temperature, amount of water, etc.) The water consumption values refer to a set water hardness value of 4. Remaining running time display When the appliance has started, the expected programme running time is displayed. The programmed running time is affected by the water temperature, the number of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling. If these conditions are changed, the running time (depending on the selected programme) can vary greatly. As the effect is not detected until a programme is running, the time may be longer or shorter than expected. End of programme The programme has ended when a figure appears in the numerical display 8 . Aqua sensor * * on applicable models The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. A light barrier can detect dissolved food remnants in the water, e.g. egg, fat and oats. The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. When the Aqua sensor is active, "clean" rinsing water may be transferred into the next rinsing bath and/or the temperature adjusted. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In this way the water consumption is reduced by approx. 4 litres for utensils which are "less" dirty. Switching the dishwasher OFF Several minutes after the programme has ended: Set the main switch 1 to OFF. Turn the water tap off. (Does not apply when Aqua-Stop unit has been fitted) Remove dishes, etc. when they have cooled down. 18 en Interrupting the programme Set main switch 1 to OFF. Indicator lights extinguish. The programme is retained in the dishwasher memory. If the hot water was switched ON or the appliance has already heated up and then the appliance door opened, leave the door ajar for several minutes and then close. Otherwise, the appliance door may fly open due to expansion. In order to continue with the stored programme, set the main switch to ON again. Intensive drying By activating the "Intensive drying" function, the final rinse will produce a higher temperature in all programmes resulting in an improved drying result (please note that higher temperatures might have an effect on delicate items). Close the door. Hold down button B and switch on main switch 1 . Release both buttons. The digital display 8 indicates (on) or (off) and button B flashes. To change the setting, press button B . Switch off the main switch 1 ; the chosen setting has now been stored. Terminating the programme (Reset) Only when the main switch is on: Rotate programme selector to the Reset position. The digital display after approx. 3 sec. indicates The programme sequence lasts approx. 1 min. When the programme has run, switch off the main switch 1 . To restart, rotate the programme selector 3 to the required programme. Switch on the main switch 1 . The programme sequence starts automatically. Changing the programme It is possible to change the programme within 2 minutes after you have switched the dishwasher on. Should it be necessary to change the programme after this period, the programme cycle that has already been begun (e.g. washing) will be completed first of all. The new remaining time displayed is the sum of the remaining time from the preceding programme cycle and the remaining time attributable to the new programme that has been selected. 19 en Additional functions * on some models additional functions 4 Washing contents of LOWER RACK only * If you have a small number of dishes to wash in the lower rack (e.g. plates, pans, bowls), switch on the LOWER RACK function. If you select the LOWER RACK function, the upper rack must be empty. Add a reduced amount of detergent compared to that which is recommended for a full load. can be set with the buttons. Pre-Soak * The Pre-Soak programme option serves to perform a pre-soak cycle before the main programme. This cycle enables cookware, e.g. pans, bowls, etc. to be pre-soaked and pre-rinsed in the lower rack. If you wish to pre-soak the dishes, this programme option must be selected by pressing the "Pre-Soak" button before the programme starts. The recommended detergent amount is approx. 5 g poured onto the inside of the door. Time delay * h. Time reduction/ time saving * Pressing the "Time reduction/time saving" button provides a short wash cycle by curtailing the drying phase and the washing time. The washing and drying performance will be reduced with the Time reduction/time saving programme option. Washing contents of UPPER RACK only * If you have a small number of dishes to wash in the upper rack (e.g. glasses, cups, plates), switch on the UPPER RACK function. If you select the UPPER RACK function, the lower rack must be empty. Add a reduced amount of detergent compared to that which is recommended for a full load. You can delay the start of the programme in 1-hour steps up to 19 hours. Switch on the appliance. Press the timer programming button until the digital display 8 jumps to . Keep pressing the timer programming button until the required time is displayed. To delete the timer programming, keep pressing the button until is displayed. You can change your programme selection at any time until the programme starts. 20 en Maintenance and care A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems. Therefore you should occasionally have a careful look inside your dishwasher. Filters The filters 25 prevent larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. This residue can occasionally clog up the filters. The filter system consists of a filter cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on the model, a microfilter (*). Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used. By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water. Overall condition of the machine Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits. If you find such deposits: Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent, start the appliance without utensils in the programme which has the highest wash temperature. Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers. Regularly wipe the door seal with a damp cloth to remove deposits. Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage. Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and panel with a damp cloth; water and a little washing-up liquid will suffice. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces. Attention! Never use other chlorinated household detergents! Health hazard! Special dishwasher salt Check the LOW SALT indicator Top up with salt, if required. 6 . Rinse-aid As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator lights up on the control panel 7 , refill with rinse aid. 21 en Reassembly: Insert the filter system and screw down with the filter cylinder. Spray arms Lime and remnants of food in the washing water can block the nozzles in the spray arms 22 and 23 and the arm mountings . Inspect the nozzles in the spray arms for blocked holes due to remnants of food. If necessary, pull the lower arm 23 upwards and lift it off. Unscrew the upper spray arm 22 . Clean both spray arms under running water. 3 2 1 0 Refit the spray arms. Ensure that the lower arm has locked into place and the upper one is screwed tight. 22 en Pump * * on applicable models Larger remnants of food that have not been trapped by the filters and have been left in the water can cause a blockage in the pump. The water is no longer pumped out of the dishwasher and it can be seen covering the filter. Proceed as follows: First, always disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Ladle out as much water as possible. Remove the filters 25 . Undo the screw in the cover (Torx T 20) and remove the cover. Inspect the inside and remove any obstructions that you find. Re-insert the cover and screw down. Re-insert the filters and screw down. Fault finding Resolving minor problems yourself Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs, but it also means that the appliance is available for use again that much sooner. The following list of common occurrences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems. Problems ... Attention Remember: Repairs may be carried out by a technician only. If a component has to be replaced, ensure that only original spare parts are used. Improper repairs or use of non-original spare parts may cause considerable damage and put the user at considerable risk.
