Overview of menu

The dishwasher has been preset with certain settings for your convenience. The settings can be found in the individual chapters. You can change these factory 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).

Water hardness table

Adjusting the water softening system

You can set the amount of salt that should be added to a value between and . No salt is needed with the setting .

Here’s how to set up the amount of added salt:

1. Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of the tap water.
2. Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Switch on ON/OFF switch .
4. Hold down the programme button C and then repeatedly press the START button A until appears in the display window.
5. Release both buttons. The LED of the 6 button flashes and the digital display 10 shows the factory setting
6. Press the programme button A. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when it reaches the value the display jumps back to (Off).
7. Press START button 6. The chosen setting has now been stored in your dishwasher.

Additional functions

Express Wash/ Speed Perfect/ (VarioSpeed)

This function can reduce the running time by approx. 20% to 50% depending on the selected rinse programme. To obtain optimum cleaning and drying results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased.

Half load *

Half l oadIf 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.

hygienePlus (HygienePlus) *

This function increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfection performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards and baby bottles

intensiveZone *

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.

extraDry *

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

Shine and Dry *

By increasing the amount of water during the rinse cycle and extending the drying phase, stains are prevented and the drying result is improved. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Energy Save *

The “Energy Save” function can be used to reduce water and energy consumption. The running time is extended for optimum cleaning and drying results.

Opertating the appliance

Programme data

The programme data (consumption values) can be found in the quick reference guide. They refer to normal conditions and the set water hardness value Different influencing factors such as water temperature or line pressure may result in deviations.

AquaSensor (depending on the features of your dishwasher)

The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. The AquaSensor is used according to the programme. If the AquaSensor 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.

Switching on the appliance

1. Turn tap fully on.

2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1 The Eco 50° programme has been preset for environmentally friendly operation whenever the appliance starts. This programme remains selected if no other programme button 2 is pressed.

3. Press START button 6.

Programme sequence starts

Note: For ecological reasons the Eco 50° programme is preset whenever the appliance starts. This conserves environmental resources and not least saves you money.

The Eco 50° programme is a particularly environmentally friendly programme. According to EU regulation 1016/2010 it is the “Standard programme” which is the most efficient standard cleaning cycle for cleaning normally soiled utensils in terms of the combined energy and water consumption for cleaning these types of utensils.

Remaining running time display

When the programme is selected, the remaining programme time is indicated in the display window 10.

The running time is determined during the programme by the water temperature, the quantity of dishes as well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending on the selected programme).

Cleaning and maintenance

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.

Overall status of the dishwasher

*The interior of your dishwasher is predominantly self-cleaning. In order to remove deposits, your dishwasher automatically changes the running of the programme (such as by increasing the cleaning temperature) at certain intervals. This will lead to higher consumption values when running this programme.

*Depending on the features of your dishwasher

If you should find deposits in the interior of the dishwasher in spite of this, remove these deposits as follows:

1. Fill the detergent dispenser 31 with detergent.

2. Select the programme with the highest temperature.

3. Start the programme without dishes.

Warning

Health hazard due to detergents containing chlorine!

Always use chlorine-free detergents.

Notes

• Only clean the appliance with special detergents/appliance cleaners which are suitable for use with dishwashers.
• Regularly wipe the door seals using a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. This will keep the door seal clean and hygienic.
• Leave the door open slightly if the appliance will not be used for a while. This will prevent an unpleasant odour from developing.
• Never clean the dishwasher using a steam cleaner. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.
• Wipe the front of the dishwasher and the control panel regularly using a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
• Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents. These could scratch the surface.
• For dishwashers with a stainless steel front, avoid using sponge cloths, or rinse these thoroughly several times before using them for the first time. This will prevent corrosion

Machine Care (Machine cleaning cycle)

Machine Care used in combination with commercially available machine cleaning detergent is a suitable programme for cleaning your dishwasher. Deposits such as grease and limescale can cause your dishwasher to malfunction. In order to avoid such faults and to reduce the development of odours, we recommend cleaning the dishwasher at regular intervals.

(depending on the features of your dishwasher) As soon as the Machine Care display lights up in the control panel, or you are advised to do so on the front display, run the Machine cleaning programme Machine Care without loading any tableware. After you have run the Machine Care the display in the control panel will go out.

If your dishwasher does not have a reminder function, follow the instructions for use on the machine cleaning detergents.

Notes

• Remove any coarse soiling in the interior using a damp cloth.
• Run the programme without dishes, and in combination with a machine cleaning detergent.
• Use a special machine cleaning detergent, and not dishwasher detergent.
• Observe the safety instructions and the instructions for use on the machine cleaning detergent packaging.
• (depending on the features of your dishwasher) After three rinse cycles, the display in the control panel will go out automatically, even if you have not run the Machine cleaning cycle programme.

Special salt and rinse aid

Top up the salt and/or rinse aid as soon as either of the refill indicators on the control panel 8 or 9 lights up

Filters

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

The filter system consists of

• a coarse filter
• a flat fine filter
• a microfilter

1. After each washing cycle check the filters for residue.

2. Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated and take out filter system

3. Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.

4. Re-install filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the filter system.

Spray arms

Limescale and contaminants in the rinsing water may block nozzles and bearings on the spray arms 23 and 25.

1. Check outlet nozzles on the spray arms for blockages.

2. Unscrew the upper spray arm 23 (1) and remove downwards (2).

3. Remove the lower spray arm 25 upwards.

4. Clean spray arms under running water.

5. Re-engage or screw on spray arms.
