To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you should: 1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery basket 2. Place forks and spoons in the cutlery basket's grid insert with their handles pointing downwards.
Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the knife drawer. • Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items. • The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall crockery items. • Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the slots in the cup racks.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket Maximum height of dishes in the Upper basket Lower basket with upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm with upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm 3 The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded.

Notes for Test Institutes Testing in accordance with EN 60704 must be carried out with the appliance fully loaded and using the test cycle (see “Cycle Table”). Tests in accordance with EN 50242 must be carried out when the salt dispenser in the water softener and the rinse aid dispenser have been filled with salt and rinse aid respectively, and using the test cycle (see “Cycle Table”).
Installation and connection instructions 1 Safety information for the installation • Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt water may run out. • Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier.
Installing the dishwasher • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions. • To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver. • The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.
Connecting the dishwasher Connecting to the water supply • 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. Permitted water pressure Lowest permitted water pressure: 1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa) Consult your plumber if the water pressure is less than 1 bar.
Water drainage 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: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the appliance. Extension hoses • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or from our Customer Care Department. To ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded, the internal diameter of extension hoses must be 19 mm.
Anti-flood system For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is equipped with a anti-flood system. In the event of a fault, the safety valve immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump is activated. In this way water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out. Electrical connection Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to be found on the rating plate.
Connecting systems The water inlet hose, drain hose and the mains cable must all be connected to the side of the dishwasher as there is no space for them behind the appliance.
