Safety information
At time of delivery
Check packaging and dishwasher
immediately for signs of transport
damage. If the appliance is damaged,
do not put it into use but contact your
supplier without delay.
Please dispose of packaging materials
properly.
During installation
Site the dishwasher and connect it up in
accordance with the installation
instructions.
The dishwasher must not be connected
to the electricity supply while installation
is being carried out.
Ensure that the domestic wiring is
properly earthed.
The mains electricity supply must
conform to the details shown on the
dishwasher nameplate.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the
electricity supply via an extension
cable.
Not on all models:
The plastic housing on the water input
contains an electrically operated valve.
The connecting wires are inside the
inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose
and do not immerse the plastic housing
in water.

should always be installed under a
continuous work surface which is
attached to the adjacent cupboards, in
order to ensure that the appliance is
entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed,
the mains plug should still be easily
accessible.
During normal use
Use the dishwasher solely in a
domestic environment and for its
designated purpose: washing
household tableware and other utensils.
Do not place any heavy objects or
stand on the door when it is open. The
appliance could tip forward.
The water inside the dishwasher is not
suitable for drinking.
Do not use solvents of any kind inside
your dishwasher. They could cause an
explosion.
Open the door very carefully if the
dishwasher is operating. There is a risk
of water squirting out.
If your family includes children
Do not permit small children to play with
or operate the dishwasher.
Keep children away from detergents
and rinse-aids.
Keep small children away from the
open door of the dishwasher. There
could still be some detergent left inside.
If a fault occurs
Repairs or other work on the
dishwasher should only be carried out
by a qualified specialist.
The dishwasher must be disconnected
from the electricity supply before any
repairs or other work are started. Pull
the mains plug out of the wall socket or

Washing dishes
Programme selection
The most appropriate programme can be
identified by comparing the type of dishes,
cutlery, etc., as well as the amount and
condition of the food residue, with the
details contained in the programme
overview.
Most of the work associated with
programme selection is performed by
the dishwasher. For example, through the
Auto Wash function, which adapts the
programme to the degree of dirt on the
dishes.
Example:
For mixed crockery with much –> little food
residue, which is not stuck hard, we
recommend the “Auto Wash” programme.
Programme data
The specified programme data is based
on standard operating conditions.
The values may deviate considerably
according to:
varying amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in the mains voltage
machine-related factors
(e.g. temperature, water volume, ...)
The consumption rates can be restricted to
a certain range when using the Auto Wash
function.
Water consumption rates are based on
a water hardness setting of 4.
Switching on the appliance
Switch on the main switch:
Provided “Refill with salt and rinse aid” is
not indicated in the display window, the
“Automatic wash” programme is always

Filling the special salt
container
How the salt works
While washing is taking place, salt is
automatically rinsed out of the salt
container into the water softener where it
dissolves the lime in the water.
The dissolved lime is pumped out of the
dishwasher. The water softening system is
then ready for the next load.
This process of regeneration can only
function when the salt is dissolved in
water.
Unscrew the lid on the salt container
24 .
Before you use the dishwasher for the first
time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the
salt container.
Use the salt filler supplied with the
dishwasher.
Tip in enough salt to fill the container to the
top (maximum of 1.5 kg). As you tip in salt,
some of the water is displaced and drains
away. When you have done this, clean off
any remnants of salt from the area round
the neck of the container. Screw the lid
back onto the container, ensuring that it is
not cross-threaded.
Note
When the control is set to
, it is
not necessary to fill up with salt
as none will be consumed while
the dishwasher is operating. The
LOW SALT indicator is switched
off. If the control is set between
and , then salt must be
added to the dispenser.
Warning!
Do not pour detergent into the
container for special salt. This
would destroy the water
softener.
If the salt level is low, the following
message is displayed in the window after
the dishwasher has been switched on:
”Refill with salt”
”Acknowledge”
If you would like to refill with salt later,
press the “Acknowledge”
button.
When the salt dispenser has been refilled,
the display is reset after a brief delay, i.e.
as soon as the salt concentration has
reached a sufficiently high level.
If you would like to wash the dishes
immediately after filling the salt dispenser,
press the “Acknowledge”
button.
aus
19
Water softener
In order to provide satisfactory rinsing
results, the dishwasher requires soft water,
i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise
water stains will be left behind on the
dishes and interior containers.
If the tap water exceeds a certain level of
hardness, it must be softened, i.e.,
decalcified, so that it can be used in the
dishwasher.
This is achieved by adding a special salt
to the water softener inside the
dishwasher.
The water softener, that is the required
amount of salt, is set up according to how
hard the tap water is.
Setting the water softening
system
Find out the hardness value of your
mains water by contacting your local
water company or customer service.
The set value can be found in the
following water hardness table.
Switch on the main switch.
Press the “Option” button repeatedly
until “Hardness” is displayed on the
upper line of the window.
Set the hardness value as indicated in
the water hardness table by pressing
the two selection buttons
and
and acknowledge the setting by
pressing the
button.

Filling the rinse-aid
container
The purpose of a rinse-aid is to prevent
the formation of water marks on tableware
and utensils, and to ensure that glasses
are clean and sparkling. The rinse-aid is
consumed during the washing process.
Fold back the lid on the rinse-aid
container
29 .
To open the lid, press the mark
on
the rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift
the lid off the lug
.
Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole
until the level indicator turns dark.
Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it
snap closed.
Important
Use only rinse-aids intended
for use in domestic
dishwashers.
Adjusting the amount of
rinse-aid
The amount of rinse-aid added to the
water can be varied by adjusting the
stepless control. The rinse-aid control has
been set to ”4” in the factory.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid
control unless streaks (turn knob towards
”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)
are left on the dishes.

Detergents
Notes on detergents
You may use any brand of liquid or powder
detergent, as well as tablets, that have
been specifically designed for use in
domestic dishwashers (do not use normal
washing-up liquid!).
Nowadays there are three types of
dishwasher detergent available:
1. Those containing phosphates
and chlorine.
2. Those containing phosphates
but no chlorine.
3. Those containing neither phosphates
nor chlorine.
When a phosphate-free detergent is used
in conjunction with hard water, there is
a greater possibility that white marks will
be left behind on the dishes and glasses,
etc.
These can be prevented by pouring an
increased amount of detergent into the
dispenser.
Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced
bleaching effect. This may mean that tea
stains are not completely removed or
plastic items become discoloured.
This can be resolved by:
– using the “Auto Super Wash”
programme
– increasing the amount of detergent
– using a detergent that contains chloride
Check the label on the packaging to
determine whether a particular product is
suitable for use with silverware.
If you have any further questions, we
recommend that you contact the customer
advice departments of the respective
detergent manufacturer.
Detergent compartment with
measuring marks
The side of the detergent compartment is
marked with lines to help you determine
how much powder to add.
The capacity of the detergent container is
15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to
the middle line. When the compartment is
full it contains 40 ml.

Adding detergent
Tip detergent powder into the
corresponding compartment
30 .
Please observe the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the detergent
packaging when determining the
correct dosage.
For the “Auto Super Wash” function,
pour an additional 10–15 ml of
detergent onto the inside of the
appliance door.
Reduce costs!
If your dishes are only
moderately dirty, you may be
able to use less detergent than
recommended.
Close the lid on the detergent
compartment.
Press down the lid (1) until it clicks
shut (2).
If you are using detergent in tablet form,
read the manufacturer’s
recommendations on the packaging in
order to
determine where the tablets should be
placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in
cutlery basket, detergent compartment,
etc.).
Make sure that the lid on the detergent
compartment is closed, even if you are
using tablets.

CAUTION – IMPORTANT NOTE
ON THE USE OF
COMBINED CLEANING PRODUCTS
DEAR CUSTOMER
Please note the following when using ”combined cleaning
products” which eliminate the need for a rinsing agent or salt, for
example:
Some products with a built-in rinsing agent are only used to their
full effect in certain programmes.
This type of product does not generally produce the desired effect
with automatic programmes.
Products which eliminate the need for regeneration salt can only
be used within a certain water hardness range.
If you wish to use these combined products, please read the
instructions carefully and heed any notes on the packaging.
Contact the manufacturer of the cleaning agent if you have any
questions, particularly if:
the crockery is very wet once the programme has
finished.
limescale deposits are formed.
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these
products are not covered by our warranty.

Not suitable for the
dishwasher
What you should not put into
the dishwasher:
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in
whole or part from wood. They become
faded and unsightly in appearance.
Furthermore, the adhesives that are used
are not suitable for the temperatures that
occur inside the dishwasher. Delicate
decorative glassware and vases, special
antique or irreplaceable china. The
decorative patterns on such items will not
be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot
water, copper and pewter utensils are also
not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or
painted onto the surface of crockery,
glasses, etc., aluminium and silver items
tend to become discoloured or faded if
washed in the dishwasher. Some types of
glass can become opaque in appearance
after they have been washed many times
in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent
materials, such as sponges and towels,
should never be placed in the dishwater.
Our recommendation:
In future, only purchase table or
kitchenware that has been confirmed as
being dishwasher-proof.
Important
Dishes or cutlery that have
been soiled by tobacco ash,
wax, lubricating grease or
paint, should not be put in the
dishwasher.
Damage to glassware and other
dishes
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that
have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’
by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described
as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek
further information from detergent
manufacturers.
To prevent damage, take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme has
ended.

Arranging crockery, glasses,
etc. in the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of left-over
food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in such a
way that
items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans,
etc. are stood upside down,
curved items, or those with recesses,
should be at a slant so that water can
run off,
they are stacked securely and cannot
tip over,
they do not prevent the spray arms from
rotating while washing takes place.
Very small items should not be washed in
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top
basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the top basket.

Care and maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of
your appliance helps to prevent problems
from occurring. This saves time and
aggravation. You should therefore
carefully inspect the inside of your
dishwasher from time to time.
Overall condition of appliance
Check that no grease or scale has
accumulated on the inside of the
dishwasher.
If you discover any deposits:
Clean the interior of the dishwasher
thoroughly with a detergent solution.
Special Salt
When the salt level is low, your
dishwasher displays a message in the
window.
Rinse aid
When the rinse aid level is low, your
dishwasher displays a message in the
window.
Filters
The filters 25 prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside
the pump. This residue can occasionally
clog up the filters.
The filter system consists of a filter
cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on
the model, a microfilter (*).
Inspect the filters for obstructions every
time the dishwasher has been used.
By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you
can remove the filter system. Remove
any food remnants and clean the filters
under running water.

Important Information
Notes on disposal
Old appliances are not worthless rubbish!
Environment-conscious recycling can
reclaim valuable raw materials.
On out-of service appliances, unplug
mains plug from receptacle. Cut off power
cord and discard with mains plug.
To prevent playing children from becoming
trapped and endangered, ensure that the
door locking mechanism is disabled.
The shipping package has protected your
new appliance on its way to your home.
All packaging materials are
environment-friendly and recyclable.
Please contribute to a better environment
by disposing of packaging materials in an
environmentally conscious manner.
Caution: Keep children away from
shipping carton and packaging
components. Danger of suffocation from
folding cartons and plastic film.
Please ask your dealer or inquire at your
local authority about current means of
disposal.
General information
Measures must be taken to ensure that
built-under and built-in units that are
subsequently re-sited as free-standing
appliances cannot topple over. This can
be achieved by bolting the dishwasher
to the wall or fitting it under a
continuous work surface which is
screwed to the adjacent cupboards.
For Switzerland only:
There are no restrictions on installing
the appliance between wooden or
plastic walls as part of a fitted kitchen. If
the appliance is not plugged into a wall
socket, it must be connected to the
mains via a separator for all poles
within the domestic wiring system. This
device must have a gap of at least
3 mm between open contacts, in order
to conform with relevant safety
regulations.
Installation
In order to function correctly the
dishwasher must be properly installed.
Specifications for the water intake and
waste-water drainage, as well as electrical
connections, must fulfil the criteria that are
set out in the following paragraphs and the
installation instructions.
When installing the dishwasher, carry out
tasks in the following order:
– check contents of delivery upon receipt,
– site dishwasher,
– connect drainage hose,
– connect inlet hose to water supply,
– connect dishwasher to electricity supply.
Checking contents of delivery
All functions of your dishwasher have
been thoroughly tested in the factory. A
small number of water marks have been
left on the dishwasher as a result. They
disappear as soon as the appliance is
used for the first time.
Siting the dishwasher
Dimensions associated with siting the
dishwasher are contained in the
installation instructions. Ensure that the
appliance is completely level by adjusting
the feet. Make sure that it is standing on a
firm surface.
Drainage connection
See the installation instructions for details
of procedure to be followed.
If necessary, fit a siphon trap (U-bend) with
a connecting piece for the drainage hose.
Connect the drainage hose to the trap
using the enclosed parts.
aus
35
Fresh-water connection
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap using
the enclosed parts and in accordance with
the installation instructions.
Water pressure:
Minimum 0,5 bar – maximum 10 bar.
If the water pressure is higher, install a
pressure reducing valve.
Flow rate:
Minimum of 10 litres per minute.
Water temperature:
We recommend cold water connection
only.
Electrical connection
This appliance should only be connected
to a 230/240 V AC source via a properly
installed earthed socket. See nameplate
31 for size of required fuse.
The socket must be installed close to the
dishwasher.
If you need to extend the mains
connecting lead, do not cut off the plug.
Replace the whole cable, which can be
disconnected at the junction box on the
rear of the appliance.
If the domestic wiring includes a residual-
current-operated (FI) circuit-breaker, make
sure that it bears the
mark, as only
this type conforms to the latest regulations
Disconnecting the dishwasher
Here too, it is important that tasks are
carried out in the correct sequence:
always unplug the appliance from the
mains electricity first of all.
Pull plug out of wall socket.
Turn off water supply.
Disconnect drain and water input hoses.
Remove screws in underside of work
surface. Detach base board, if fitted.
Pull out appliance and carefully withdraw
hoses at same time.
Transporting the dishwasher
Drain water from the dishwasher. Secure
all loose parts. The appliance should only
be transported in an upright position.
If the appliance is not kept upright
during transport, any water left inside
may seep into the control module and
cause subsequent errors with
programme functions.
The appliance must be drained in the
following sequence:
Turn on the tap.
Switch on the main switch.
Start the Auto programme.
Close the door.
Wait approx. 4 minutes.
Open the appliance door.
Cancel programme.
Close the door.
After another minute switch off the
appliance.
Turn off the tap.
Protection from freezing
temperatures
If the appliance is installed in a location
where there is a risk of freezing
temperatures (e.g. in a holiday home), all
water must be completely drained out of
the interior (see “Transporting the
dishwasher”).
Turn OFF the tap, disconnect the supply
hose and allow to drain.
