? Water softening system/Special salt

To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.

Tap water above 1.2 mmol/l must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.

The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).

Setting

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from 4:00 to 4:07. Salt is not required at the set value 4:00.

1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Open the door.
4. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
5. Hold down programme button A and press START button 8 until H:0.... is indicated on the digital display.
6. Release both buttons. The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 9 displays the factory setting 4:04.

To change the setting:

1. Press programme button C. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the value of H:07 has been reached, the display jumps back to 4:00 (off).
2. Press START button 8. The chosen setting has now been stored.
3. Close the door.

Water hardness table

Using special salt

Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.

1. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 26.
2. Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).
3. Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out.

As soon as the salt refill indicator 4 on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.

Diagram: Illustration showing the salt dispenser compartment being filled.

* depending on model

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/ l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.

Switching off salt refill indicator/water softening system

If the salt refill indicator 4 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.

Proceed as described under "Adjusting the water softening system” and set the value to 4:00. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

Caution: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.

✨ Rinse aid

As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator 5 is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1-2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.

The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.

Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.

Setting amount of rinse aid

The amount of rinse aid can be set from 7:00 to 7:06. Please set rinse aid on 7:05 to obtain very good drying results (7:05 is already set in factory).

Change this setting, only if streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.

1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
3. Hold down programme button A and press START button 8 until H:0.... is indicated on the digital display.
4. Release both buttons. The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 9 displays the factory setting 4:04.
5. Press programme button A until the factory set value 7:05 is indicated on the digital display 9.

To change the setting:

1. By pressing the button C, you can switch the function off 7:00 or on 7:06.
2. Press START button 8. The set value is saved.
3. Close the door.

Switching off rinse aid refill indicator

If the rinse-aid refill indicator 5 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.

Proceed as described under “Setting amount of rinse aid” and set the value to 7:00. The rinse aid refill indicator 5 is now switched off.

Diagrams: Illustrations showing how to open the dispenser, fill rinse aid, and close the cover.

?️ Utensils

Not suitable

• Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
• Delicate decorative glasses, craft and antique utensils. These decors are not dishwasher-proof.
• Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
• Copper and tin utensils.
• Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
• Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.

Glass and utensil damage

Causes:

• Glass type and glass production process.
• Chemical composition of the detergent.
• Water temperature of the wash programme.

Recommendation:

• Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-proof.
• Use a detergent which protects utensils.
• Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme ends.

Loading the dishwasher

1. Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that:
   • they are secure and cannot tip over.
   • all utensils with their openings face down.
   • parts with curves or indentations are at an angle, thereby allowing water to drain.
   • does not obstruct rotation of the two spray arms [23] and [25].

Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.

Unloading the dishwasher

To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.

Hot utensils are sensitive to shock! Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.

Note: When the programme ends, water droplets can still be seen inside the appliance. This does not affect the drying of the utensils.

Cups and glasses

Top basket [22]

Diagram: Illustration showing how to load cups and glasses in the top basket.

Pans

Bottom basket [28]

Diagram: Illustration showing how to load pans in the bottom basket.

Tip: Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket. The more powerful spray jet provides a better dishwashing result.

Tip: Other examples, such as the best way of loading your dishwasher, can be found on our homepage as a free download. The corresponding Internet address can be found on the back page of these instructions for use.

Cutlery drawer

Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer [21] as illustrated. Separately arranged utensils are easier to remove after washing.

The drawer can be taken out.

Depending on the model, you can fold down the side shelves to provide more room for taller items of cutlery. The front rows of prongs can be folded down to provide room for wider handles.

Diagrams: Illustrations showing cutlery arrangement in the drawer and folding down shelves/prongs.

Folding spikes *

* depending on model

The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.

Diagram: Illustration showing folding spikes.

Small accessories holder *

* depending on model

Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.

Diagram: Illustration showing small accessories in the holder.

Adjusting the height of the basket

The height of the upper utensils basket [22] can be adjusted in 3 stages to create more space either in the upper or lower basket.

? Detergent

You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid.

The dosage can be individually adjusted with powder or a liquid detergent according to the degree of soiling.

Tablets contain an adequately large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful detergents predominantly use a low-alkaline formulation with phosphate and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen-based bleaching agents are usually used.

Note: To ensure a good washing result, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging! If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers' helpline.

⚠️ Warning: Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.

Appliance height 81.5 cm

Appliance height 86.5 cm

1. Pull out the top basket [22] out.

2. To lower the basket, press in the left and then the right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so, hold the sides of the basket along the upper edge to prevent it from suddenly dropping.

Diagram: Illustration showing how to lower the top basket using levers.

3. To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of the upper edge and lift it up.

4. Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit.

Adding detergent

1. If the detergent dispenser [30] is still closed, press the lock [31] to open the detergent dispenser. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser [30] only (insert tablet flat, not on its edge). Dosage: see manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. The graduated detergent dispenser [30] helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent. Usually 20 ml-25 ml are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.

Diagram: Illustration showing detergent dispenser with measurement markings and tablet placement.

2. Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.

Diagram: Illustration showing closing the detergent dispenser cover.

The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.

Tip: If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate. Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service (see back page).

Combination detergent

Apart from conventional detergents (Solo), a number of products are offered with additional functions. These products contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner.

Combination detergents function only up to a specific degree of hardness (usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and rinse-aid must be added.

As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result.

⚠️ Warning: Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting tray [24]; this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly.

⚠️ Warning: If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray [24] as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tablet.

Notes

• You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse aid separately.
• If programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.
• The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only. When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance's door.
• Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme will run correctly with combined detergents.
• If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent may stick.
• If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse aid have been set to the correct value.

⚙️ Overview of programmes

The max. possible number of programmes is illustrated in this overview. The corresponding programmes and their arrangement can be found on the fascia.

➕ Additional options

Programme selection

You can select a suitable programme according to the type of utensils and degree of soiling.

Information for test institutes

Test institutes receive the information for comparability tests (e.g. according to EN60436). These are the conditions for conducting the tests, however these are not the results or consumption values.

Request by e-mail to: dishwasher@test-appliances.com

The product number (E no.) and the production number (FD) are required which you can find on the rating plate [32] on the appliance door.

Express Wash/ Speed Perfect/ (VarioSpeed) *

* depending on model

Additional options can be set with the buttons [7].

This function can reduce the running time by approx. 20% to 50% depending on the selected rinse programme. The change in the running time is indicated on the digital display [9]. To obtain optimum cleaning results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased.

Half load *

* depending on model

If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to “half load”. This will save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than for a full load.

Hygiene *

* depending on model

The temperature is increased during the cleaning process. This increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards and baby bottles.

Intensive zone *

* depending on model

Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower basket together with normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.

Extra drying *

* depending on model

An increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase ensure that even plastic parts dry better. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption.

▶️ Operating the appliance

Programme data

The programme data (consumption values) can be found in the summary of instructions. They refer to normal conditions and the water hardness set value 4:04. Different influencing factors such as e.g. water temperature or line pressure may result in deviations.

Aqua sensor *

* depending on model

The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water.

The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can be transferred to the next rinse bath and water consumption can be reduced by 3-6 litres. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic programmes the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Overall condition of the machine

• Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.

If you find such deposits:

• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the appliance without utensils in the programme with the highest rinsing temperature.
• Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
• To extend the life of your appliance, clean the appliance regularly with a special dishwasher detergent.
• To ensure that the door seal always remains clean and hygienic, regularly clean it with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
• If the appliance is switched off for a prolonged period, leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of an unpleasant odour.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage. Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces. Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.

⚠️ Warning - Health hazard: Never use other domestic detergents, e.g. containing chlorine!

Special salt and rinse aid

• Check the refill indicators 4 and 5. If required, refill salt and/or rinse aid.

Filters

The filters [27] keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a microfilter.

1. After each washing cycle check the filters for residue.
2. Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated and take out filter system.

❓ Fault, what to do?

Experience has shown that you can rectify most faults which occur in daily operation yourself. This ensures that the machine is quickly available to you again. In the following overview you can find possible causes of malfunctions and helpful information for rectifying them.

Note: If the appliance stops during dishwashing or does not start for no obvious reason, first run the Abort programme function (Reset). (See chapter entitled “Operating the appliance”)

⚠️ Warning: Don't forget: Repairs may be carried out by technicians only. If a component has to be replaced, ensure that only original spare parts are used. Improper repairs or use of non-original spare parts may cause considerable damage and put the user at considerable risk.

Waste water pump

Large food remnants or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water will then be above the filter.

⚠️ Warning – Risk of cuts!

When cleaning the waste water pump, ensure that you do not injure yourself on pieces of broken glass or pointed implements.

In this case:

1. First always disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Take out top basket [22] and bottom basket [28].
3. Remove the filters [27].
4. Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
5. Prise out the white pump cover (as illustrated) using a spoon. Grip the cover on the crosspiece and lift diagonally inwards. Remove cover completely.

Installation

The required installation dimensions can be found in the installation instructions. Level the appliance with the aid of the height-adjustable feet. Ensure that the appliance is situated securely on the floor.

• A built-under or integrated appliance which is installed subsequently as a free-standing appliance must be secured to prevent it from overturning, e.g. by screwing it to the wall or by installing it under a continuous worktop which is screwed to adjacent cupboards.
• The appliance can easily be installed in a fitted kitchen between wooden and plastic walls.

Waste-water connection

1. The required work sequence can be found in the installation instructions. If required, fit a siphon with an drainage connection.
2. Connect the waste-water hose to the drainage connection of the siphon with the enclosed parts. Ensure that the drainage hose is not kinked, crushed or twisted and that there is no cover plate in the drainage to prevent the waste water from flowing out!

Drinking water connection

1. Fasten the drinking water connection to the tap according to the installation instructions using the enclosed parts. Ensure that the drinking water connection is not kinked, crushed or twisted.
2. When replacing the appliance, always use a new water supply hose.

Warm water connection *

* depending on model

The dishwasher can be connected to cold or hot water up to max. 60 °C. Connection to hot water is recommended if the hot water can be supplied by energetically favourable means and from a suitable installation, e.g. solar heating system with circulation line. This will save energy and time. The hot water setting H:01 allows you to adjust your appliance optimally to operation with hot water. It is recommended to have a water temperature (temperature of the incoming water) of at least 40 °C and no more than 60 °C. It is not recommended to connect the appliance to hot water if the water is supplied from an electric boiler.

Setting hot water:

1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
3. Hold down programme button A and press START button 8 until H:0... is indicated on the digital display.
4. Release both buttons. The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 9 displays the factory setting 4:04.
5. Press programme button A until the factory set value H:00 is indicated on the digital display 9.

To change the setting:

1. By pressing the 3 button, you can switch the hot water setting off H:00 or on H:01.
2. Press START button 8. The set value is saved.
3. Close the door.

Electrical connection

Connect the appliance to an alternating current only, ranging from 220 V to 240 V and 50 Hz or 60 Hz via a correctly installed socket with protective earth conductor. See rating plate for required fusing [32]. The socket must be near the appliance and freely accessible following installation.

If the plug is not freely accessible, an allpole disconnector with a contact opening of at least 3 mm must be fitted on the installation side to satisfy the relevant safety instructions.

The connection may be modified by technicians only.

A power cord extension may be purchased from customer service only.

Use only a residual current operated circuit-breaker which features the symbol ⚡. Only this extension guarantees compliance with the currently valid regulations.

The appliance features a water damage protection system. Please note the system will not function unless the power supply is connected.
