Rinse aid
As soon as the low rinse-aid indicator 
is lit on the control panel or is requested on the front display * 
, rinse-aid should be topped up. 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.
* depending on the features of your dishwasher.
Top up the rinse-aid as follows:
1. Open dispenser 
; press lug on the lid (1) and lift (2).
2. Add rinse-aid up to the max. mark.
3. Close the lid. Lid “clicks” into position.
4. Remove overflowed rinse aid with a cloth. This prevents excessive frothing during the next rinse cycle.
Setting amount of rinse aid
The amount of rinse aid to be dispensed can be set from 0 to 6. Set the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed to 5 to obtain a very good drying result. Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless there are streaks or water stains on the utensils. Set a lower level to avoid streaks. Set a higher level to avoid water stains.
Set the amount of rinse aid as follows:
1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 
.
3. Press Info button for 3 seconds until the following text is indicated on the display window at the top :
Scroll with < >
Set with - +
Leave with Setup 3 sec.
4. Keep pressing button > until the rinse aid dispenser is indicated on the display window at the top .
5. Make the setting with setting buttons + - 
.
6. Press and hold the Info button for 3 seconds.
The chosen setting has now been stored.
Switching off rinse aid refill indicator
If the use of combined detergents with a rinse-aid component impairs the low rinse-aid indicator 
on the control panel or the text on the front display * 
(enough rinse aid for x rinse cycles), the displays can be switched off.
Proceed as described under “Setting amount of rinse aid” and select setting 0.
* depending on the features of your dishwasher.
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.
Adding detergent
1. If the detergent dispenser 
is still closed, actuate locking bar 
to open it.
2. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser only (insert tablet flat, not on its edge).
3. Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. Use graduated detergent dispenser. Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.
4. Close cover on the detergent dispenser.
Cover “clicks” into position.
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).
Notes
■ 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.
■ 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.
* depending on the features of your dishwasher
Overview of programmes
The max. possible number of programmes is illustrated in this overview. The corresponding programmes for your appliance can be found on the fascia. The programme data has been measured in the laboratory according to AS/NSZ 2007.
Programme selection
You can select a suitable programme according to the type of utensils and type of soiling.
Additional functions
* Depending on the features of your dishwasher, you can select different 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 *
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.
SanitationPlus *
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.
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).
Operating the appliance
Changing the settings
The dishwasher has been preset with certain settings for your convenience. You can change these factory settings.
Change the setting as follows:
1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 
.
3. Press Info button for 3 seconds until the following text is indicated on the display window at the top 
:
Scroll with < >
Set with - +
Leave with Setup 3 sec.
4. Keep pressing button >
until the required setting is indicated on the display window at the top .
5. Make the setting with setting buttons + -
.
6. Press and hold the Info button for 3 seconds.
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.
Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith is a mineral which can store moisture and heat energy and release them again.
During the washing step this heat energy is used to dry the mineral and heat up the rinsing water.
During the drying phase moisture from the rinsing compartment is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. This released heat energy is blown into the rinsing compartment with dry air. This accelerates and improves drying.
These processes therefore save a great deal of energy.
Time display
The running time is determined during the programme by the water temperature, the number of utensils as well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending on the selected programme). You can change the time display in time or hours/minutes so that the remaining running time of the rinsing progamme appears in the display window “Ready at” (for example 15:20 hours) or “Ready in” (for example 3:25).
Sensor setting
The programme sequence is optmised in Auto programmes with the aid of sensors. The sensors adjust the programme strength of Auto programmes depending on the amount and type of soiling. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensors in 3 stages.
Standard: This setting is ideal for a mixed load and heavily soiled utensils, but also saves energy and water.
Sensitive: This setting adjusts the programme strength for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the amount of soiling is low. The energy and water consumption is adjusted accordingly.
Very sensitive: This setting adjusts the programme strength for difficult conditions of use, for example firmly dried on food remnants. This setting is recommended if using biological or eco detergents which contain lower amounts of active agents. The energy and water consumption is adjusted accordingly.
extraDry
The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result. The running time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!) You can switch the extraDry function on or off.
Eco forecast
When Eco forecast is activated, the average water and energy consumption of the selected programme is briefly displayed on the display window at the top .
AutoPowerOff (Switching off automatically after the end of the programme)
To save energy, the dishwasher is switched off 1 minute after the programme ends. You can also change this setting.
Possible settings are:
■ off: The appliance does not switch off automatically.
■ After one minute: The appliance switches off after 1 minute.
■ After two hours: The appliance switches off after 2 hours.
Note: Note that for the settings "After one minute" and "After two hours", the interior lighting 
is switched off. To activate the interior lighting, press the ON/OFF switch
