Operating Instructions Control panel Function Softener Button Button Control Field Door Handle Air Outlet for Fan Assisted Drying Set Start Delay Indicators Multi-Display The Control Field comprises the ON/OFF switch M and the programme buttons with LED indicators. Softener and Function Button: in addition to the wash programme marked, it is also possible to adjust the dishwasher's water softener using the combination of these buttons.
Operating Instructions Adjust the water softener To avoid the scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content, water. The dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special salt. 3 0 You water supplier will be able to inform you on the hardness and hardness range of the water in your area.
Operating Instructions 6. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF switch. The hardness setting is then saved. Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener 1 Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent. This would irreparably damage the water softener. Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of special salt in your hand.
Operating Instructions Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator J to extinguish. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water. 3 Filling with Rinse Aid Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are free from spots, and that you glasses are clear. 1 Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers.
Operating Instructions 4. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked “max”; this corresponds to a quantity of approx. 140 ml. 5. Close the lid and press until it locks into place. 6.

Installation and Connection Instructions INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Dishwasher • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level. • To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units extend the threaded feet by unscrewing: – use a screwdriver. • The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must not be kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.
Installation and Connection Instructions • If the dishwasher is installed underneath a kitchen work surface, the original work surface of the dishwasher is to be removed as follows: – Unscrew the screws (1) from the elbows on the back side. – Slide the work surface approx. 1cm to the rear (3) , lift at the front (4) and remove. – Press the work surface retaining brackets at the position shown in the diagram (4) and remove the bracket at an angle to the rear (5).
Installation and Connection Instructions Connecting the Dishwasher Water Connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60 °C. • The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.
Installation and Connection Instructions Water drain Drain hose 1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. • Connecting the drain hose: – Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. – Minimum required height 30 cm above the lower edge of the machine. Extension hoses • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or customer service. The internal diameter of the extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded.
Installation and Connection Instructions Leak Prevention System For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention system, the AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM. In the event of a fault, the safety valve immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump switches on. By this means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.
Installation and Connection Instructions Connections The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be connected beside the dishwasher as there is insufficient space behind the appliance. The plumbing and electrical installation example given below can only be regarded as a recommendation; the actual situation where the dishwasher is to be installed will define the exact installation (available connections, local electricity and water board regulations for connecting up appliances, etc.).
