Guide to the appliance Display functions The display is used to select or set the following: - the program - the Timer - the Settings The OK button is used to confirm a message or setting and also to move to the next menu or another level. Under More, a scroll bar will appear in the right of the display. This offers further options. These options can be shown using the buttons.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation! Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials.
Before 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 programs the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “AutoOpen” under “Settings”). Risk of scalding due to hot water. During operation, water in the dishwasher may be very hot.
Before using for the first time Basic settings Setting the water hardness Turning on the dishwasher The display changes to the screen for setting the water hardness. Open the door. Turn the dishwasher on with the button. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is turned on. For further information about the display functionality, see “Display functions” under “Guide to the appliance”. Setting the language The display will change automatically to the screen for setting the language.
Before using for the first time Finally, prompts will appear in the display. After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear. Add salt and rinse aid if necessary (see “Reactivation salt” and “Rinse aid” under “Before using for the first time”). Select OK to confirm the messages. The program selected will appear in the display briefly and the indicator light for the program selected will come on.
Before using for the first time Reactivation salt 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 dishes and on the inner surfaces of the machine. Domestic water with a hardness level higher than 5 gpg (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 73 gpg (70 °dH – German scale).
Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 1/2 gallon (2 l) of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened.
Before using for the first time Refilling the salt Fill the salt reservoir with reactivation salt when Refill salt appears in the display. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out. Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Salt solution that runs out can cause corrosion in the wash cabinet and to the wash items. Each time you remove the salt reservoir cap, you must run the QuickIntenseWash program with the Express program option selected without wash items in the dishwasher.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water does not cling and leave marks on dishes during the drying phase, and helps dishes dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the container and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Liquid dish soap or detergent can cause damage. Liquid dish soap and detergent can damage the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill it with rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Risk of acid damage.
Before using for the first time Adding rinse aid Close the lid firmly until you hear it click into place. Otherwise, water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a program. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents excess foam developing during the next program. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best wash results (see “Rinse aid” under “Settings”). Filling the rinse-aid reservoir Press the yellow button on the lid of the rinse aid reservoir.
Settings You can alter the dishwasher’s controls to suit changing requirements by adjusting the settings. The settings can be altered at any time. Opening the settings menu Turn the dishwasher on with the button if it is turned off. Use the Program button to select the More option. The first of the additional programs will appear in the display. Select the Settings menu option using the buttons and confirm with OK. The first option in the Settings menu will appear in the display.
Settings Language Water hardness The display can be set to appear in one of several different languages. Your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. You can change the language used in the display and also the country via the Language sub-menu. - The dishwasher must be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area. The flag after the word Language serves as a guide if a language that you do not understand has been set.

Caring for the environment Energy-saving dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your machine by following these tips: - Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing by hand. - There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water, and this unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption. - Make full use of the basket capacity without overloading the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher General information Remove coarse food residues from dishes. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water. Damage can be caused by ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint. These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed. Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher Wash items not suitable for dishwashers: Damage due to caustic alkaline - Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware. Such items are not suitable for dishwashers. detergents. Aluminum parts (e.g., the grease filters of ventilation hoods) can be damaged by caustic alkaline detergents. In extreme cases, there is a risk of an explosive chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket To raise the upper basket: In order to gain more space for taller items in the lower basket or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on 3 levels with 3/4 " (2 cm) between each level. Lift the basket until it clicks into place. The upper basket can also be set at an angle so that water can run off freely from recesses. Make sure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the wash cabinet. Pull out the upper basket.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket Loading the lower basket Place larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc., in the lower basket. Glasses, cups, and small plates and saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Loading the MultiComfort area The rear section of the lower basket is used for washing cups, glasses, plates, and pots. Place very large plates in the center of the lower basket.
Loading the dishwasher Lowering the spikes Loading the FlexCare glass holder The rows of spikes at the front are used for loading plates, soup bowls, platters, dessert bowls, and saucers. The silicone elements in the glass holder provide a stable and secure hold for delicate stemware. Both right-hand rows of spikes can be lowered to make more room for large items such as pots, pans, and serving dishes.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery tray See “Loading the dishwasher, Loading examples” for examples of how to load dishware and utensils. Load the utensils into the 3D MultiFlex Tray. Loading the 3D MultiFlex Tray To make unloading easier, utensils 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.
Detergents Active ingredients Damage caused by using unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the wash items. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: - Water softening complexing agents to prevent calcification. - Alkalis to aid removal of dried-on soiling. - Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein.
Detergents Risk of chemical burns from de- Detergent dispensing tergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergents. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep children away from detergents. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine.
Detergents Adding detergent The detergent must not cause the detergent-compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the program. Do not overfill the detergent compartment. Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together. Press the yellow button on the lid of the detergent compartment. The lid will spring open. The lid will also open at the end of a program.
