Menu overview
The dishwasher has been preset with certain settings for your convenience. You can change these factory settings.
Use the function keys A, B and C to change the settings.
Water softening system / special salt
To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7° dH (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 following water hardness table).

China, Crystal, Stoneware | Some hand-painted utensils may discolor, fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the wash cycle. |
Glass | Make sure to use dishwasher-safe glass. Milk glass may discolor or become yellow. |
Non-stick Coatings | Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying. |
Plastics | Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher-safe. |
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates | Load these so they do not come in contact with other metals, stainless steel dishwasher tub walls or the inner door. |
Not Recommended | |
Acrylic | Crazing or small cracks throughout the acrylic, may occur. |
Adhesive-Joined Pieces | Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel, copper, tin, etc. may loosen. |

Glass and silverware damage
Causes:
■ Glass type.
■ Type of dishwasher detergent.
■ Water temperature of the wash cycle.
Recommendation:
■ Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-safe.
■ Use a detergent which protects silverware.
■ Use less intensive wash cycles and take glass and silverware out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the wash cycle ends.
Loading the racks
For best dishwashing results, observe the following when loading the dishwasher:
■ Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food soil.
■ Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease.
■ Pre-treat items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils.
■ Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms.
■ Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes.
■ Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms.
■ Only wash household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher-safe.
Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.
Loading the upper rack
Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
Note: When pushing the upper rack 22 into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray arm 23 connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.
Loading the lower rack
Place large items in the lower rack 30. Load pots, pans and bowls upside down. Do not block the vent hole 25 with tall baking sheets. Load these items on the right side of the dishwasher.
Recommended loading pattern
For daily, regular or typical use
12 place setting
Note: Folding the cup shelves down will allow the cups to sit at an increased angle and reduce water pooling on cup bottoms.
Additional loading pattern
10 place setting
