Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material Disposing of your old appliance The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety.
Using for the first time Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the machine from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously. Opening the door In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Programme options – AutoOpen”). At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function is on, the door locking pins automatically retract.
Using for the first time Closing the door Activating the safety lock Push the baskets right in. Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. The door can then only be opened by using a lot of force. Raise the door upwards until the catch engages. Risk of crushing due to the door closing. When closing the door, you are at risk of shutting your fingers in it. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.
Using for the first time Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft (low limescale) water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the appliance. Water with a hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l (70 °dH - German scale).
Using for the first time Displaying and setting the water hardness The value set is shown as a figure after in the time display. Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on. will start flashing in the display. A water hardness of 2.5 mmol/l (14 °dH – German scale) is set. Press the Start button in and, whilst holding it in, switch the dishwasher on using the button. Keep the Start button pressed in for at least 4 seconds until the Start indicator light comes on.
Using for the first time Dishwasher salt Damage to the water softener In order to maintain the functioning of the water softener, it must be reactivated regularly. from detergents. Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Do not fill the salt reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. In order to be reactivated, the water softener requires dishwasher salt. Depending on the water hardness level (< 3.
Using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened.
Using for the first time Replenishing salt When the Salt indicator lights up, wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Saline solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the dishwasher load. Each time you have opened the salt reservoir cap, immediately run the 65 °C QuickPowerWash programme with the Express option and without any dishes.
Using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and it helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Washing-up liquid or detergent can cause damage. Washing-up liquid and dishwasher detergent will damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
Using for the first time Adding rinse aid Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme. Refilling rinse aid When the Rinse aid refill reminder lights up in the display, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 to 3 programmes only. Add rinse aid in good time. The refill rinse aid reminder will go out. Lift the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid container . The lid will open.
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 0 to 6 ml. 3 ml is the factory default setting. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: - Increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware: - Decrease the rinse aid dosage. Switch the dishwasher off with the button, if it is switched on.
Caring for the environment Economical dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can support the economical operation of your appliance by following these tips: - You can connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply. A hot water connection is particularly suitable with energy-saving water heating sources, such as solar water heaters. If the water is heated by electricity, we recommend connection to cold water.
Loading the dishwasher General information Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water.

The dishwasher is supplied with approx. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with an internal diameter of 22 mm. The hose can be extended using a connection piece to attach a further length of hose. The drainage length must not be longer than 4 m and the delivery head no higher than 1 m.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Venting the water drainage If the on-site drainage connection is situated lower than the guide for the rollers of the lower basket in the door, the drainage system must be vented. Otherwise, a siphoning effect during a programme can cause the appliance to empty itself of water. Open the dishwasher door fully. Remove the lower basket. Insert a screwdriver into the middle opening of the vent valve in the left wash cabinet wall .
*INSTALLATION* Installation The dishwasher is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for connection to an earthed socket. Danger of suffocation due to gases. Connecting the dishwasher to a multi-socket plug adapter or to an extension lead can overload the cable. This can cause a fire, releasing toxic gases. Do not use an extension lead or multi-socket plug adapter. Risk of fire from overheating.
