Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The packing material protects the dishwasher from transport damage. The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. ,Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Caring for the environment Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: ^ If your household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.
Before using for the first time To open the door To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in. ^ Then lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position. ^ Pull the handle. If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted.
Before using for the first time Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated softener unit. The softener unit is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °d).
Before using for the first time Programming the water hardness level Each time a button is pressed, one of the indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights mentioned in the following programming process stages are significant. The number of times the upper right-hand programme indicator flashes tells you the water hardness level which has been set (see chart). °d (German scale) mmol/l 1- 4 0.2 - 0.7 2- 7 1 short 5- 7 0.9 - 1.
Before using for the first time Checking the programmed water hardness level ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the Off button V. ^ Press the programme selector button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the On button U. Keep the programme selector button pressed in for at least four seconds until the lower right-hand programme indicator comes on. ^ Press the programme selector button twice briefly.
Before using for the first time Before using the appliance for the first time, you require: – Approx. 1 litre of water, – Approx. 1 kg of dishwasher salt, – Domestic dishwasher detergent, – Rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.
Before using for the first time ^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir. ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 1 litre of water (first use only). Salt indicator ^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Adding rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. ,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent always causes serious damage to the reservoir.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid indicator When the light comes on, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only. ^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time. ^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. ^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. ^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
Before using for the first time Setting the rinse aid dosage You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: ^ Increase the rinse aid dosage. The upper right-hand programme indicator will flash briefly three times at intervals. This means that approx. 3 ml of rinse aid will be used per programme (factory default setting).
Loading the dishwasher Note Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to rinse items under running water. ,Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed. – Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces.
Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for dishwashers: – Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher. – Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers. – Plastic items which are not heat resistant can melt or lose shape.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket Hinged cup rack ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. ^ To make room for tall items, raise the rack. ^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low. This can be useful to help prevent water being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket Hinged spikes Both rows of spikes in the front section of the basket can be lowered to make more room for large items, e.g. pots, pans and dishes. ^ For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. Small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket. 26 ^ Press the yellow lever downwards a, and then lower the spikes b.
Loading the dishwasher Removable spiked insert Bottle holder (depending on model) The spiked insert at the back can be removed to make more room for larger items such as casserole dishes. The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles. To remove the insert a ^ Place the bottle holder in the position shown in the bottom basket. If placed anywhere else, water will not be able to access the bottle properly, and cleaning results will be impaired.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Cutlery tray If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, lay them the other way round. ^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
Operation Detergent ,Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Active ingredients Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: – Phosphates to prevent calcification. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soiling. – Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein. – Oxygen based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).
Operation Dispensing ^ Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. ^ Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml to compartment II, depending on the level of soiling. With very heavy soiling you can also add a small amount of detergent to compartment l (see "Programme chart"). ^ Tabs may not dissolve completely when the Quick wash 40 °C programme is used. Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Operation Adding detergent For information Compartment I holds max. 10 ml, Compartment II holds max. 50 ml. There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position. ^ Press the opening catch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme. ^ Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.
Operation Switching on Starting the programme ^ Turn on the tap if it is turned off. ^ Start the programme by closing the door. ^ Open the door. ^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed. ^ Switch the dishwasher on using the U button. The On indicator U and the indicator for the last used programme will light up. A programme can only be cancelled in the first few minutes. Otherwise the programme must continue to the end so that important programme stages (e.g.
Operation Programmende Switching off ^ Open the door slightly to check that the programme has finished. At the end of a programme: The indicator light next to the programme selected switches off once the programme has finished. ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the Off button V. If the programme indicator light is still on, the programme has not yet finished. Close the door again to allow the programme to finish. The drying fan will run for a few minutes after the end of the Quick wash programme.
Operation Interrupting a programme Operation is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. ,Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Additional options Buzzer A buzzer sounds at the end of the programme or if there is a fault. It will sound four times at intervals at the end of a programme with a short pause in between. The buzzer will continue to sound for up to an hour if you do not switch off or open the dishwasher. In the event of a fault, the buzzer will sound continuously. The buzzer will continue to sound for up to two minutes if you do not switch the dishwasher off, open it or correct the fault.
Additional options Factory default settings If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can reset them back to the factory default settings as follows: ^ Open the door. ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the Off button V. ^ Press the programme selector button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the On button U. Keep the programme selector button pressed in for at least four seconds until the lower-right hand indicator light comes on.
Cleaning and care Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. ,The outer surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the outer surfaces. Cleaning the door and the door seal ^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the control panel and door front ,Remove any soiling immediately. If not, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the outer surface to alter or discolour. ^ The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth. ^ Clean the front using a sponge, a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. For cleaning, you can also use a clean, damp microfibre cloth without any cleaning agent.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms. ,This dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
Cleaning and care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Press catches a together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter b. ^ Rinse all the filters under running water. ^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages. 40 ^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Then turn the handle clockwise until both arrows point towards each other. The filter combination is locked in place.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms ^ Remove the lower basket. Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). ^ Switch the dishwasher off. Remove the spray arms as follows: ^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one). ^ Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
