Water softening system
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 9° Clarke must be softened. The water is softened with 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 H:00 to H:07 Salt is not required at the set value H:00
– Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
– Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
– Close the door.
– Switch on ON/OFF switch 1
– Press and hold down the START button 4
– Rotate programme selector 8 until 3 is indicated on the digital display 5
– Release button.

To change the setting:
– Rotate programme selector 3 until the required value is indicated on the digital display 5.
– Press START button @. The set value is saved.
Water hardness table
Special salt
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.
– Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 25
– Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).
– Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).
The water is displaced and runs out.
As soon as the salt refill indicator 9 on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
*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 9 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 H.00
The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.
Warning: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.
Rinse aid
As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator 8 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.
– Open the dispenser 29 by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover.
– Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.

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
– Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
– 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 24.
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.
Cups and glasses
Top basket 20
Pans
Bottom basket 28
Tip
Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket. The more powerful spray jet provides a better dishwashing result.
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 basket
You should always place cutlery unsorted with the points downwards. To prevent injuries, place long, pointed implements and knives on the knife shelf.
Etagere *
The etagere and the space underneath can be used for small cups and glasses or for larger items of cutlery, such as wooden spoons or serving cutlery. The
etagere can be folded up if not required.
* Depending on the model, a 3-fold height adjustment is possible. To do this, first place the etagere vertically and pull up, then place at a slight angle, push down to the required height (1, 2, or 3) and snap into place.
Folding spikes *
*depending on model The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.
Small accessories holder *
*Depending on model Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.
Knife shelf *
*Depending on model Long knives and other utensils can be arranged horizontally.
Adjusting the height of the basket *
*depending on model If required, the height of the upper utensils basket 20 can be adjusted to provide more space for tall utensils either in the
upper or lower basket.
Appliance height 81.5 cm
| Top basket | Bottom basket | |
| Setting 1 max. ø | 22 cm | 30 cm |
| Setting 2 max. ø | 24.5 cm | 27.5 cm |
| Setting 3 max. ø | 27 cm | 25 cm |
Appliance height 86.5 cm
| Top basket | Bottom basket | |
| Setting 1 max. ø | 24 cm | 33 cm |
| Setting 2 max. ø | 26.5 cm | 30.5 cm |
| Setting 3 max. ø | 29 cm | 28 cm |
Select one of the two following procedures according to the design of the top basket for your appliance model:
Top basket with side levers
– Pull out the top basket 20 out.
– 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.
– To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of the upper edge and lift it up.
– 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.
Top basket with upper and lower roller pairs
– Pull out the top basket 20 out.
– Remove the upper basket and reattach it to the upper (stage 3) or lower (stage 1) rollers.
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.
Adding detergent
– 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.
– Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.
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.
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 26° Clarke). 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.
Warnings
– Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting tray 22 this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly.
– If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray 22 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.

Test institutes can request the conditions for running comparison tests by sending an e-mail to dishwasher@test-appliances.com. Quote the appliance number (ENr.) and the production date (FD) which you can find on the rating plate 32 on the appliance door.
Additional options
*depending on model Additional options can be set with the buttons 7
Express Wash/ Speed Perfect/ (VarioSpeed)*
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 5. To obtain optimum cleaning results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased.
Half load *
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 *
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 *
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 *
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.
