- 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 a specific degree of water hardness must be softened, i.e. descaled, for use in a dishwasher. Water is softened with special 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 in 4 stages depending on the hardness of your water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see table). Factory setting: 1.
- 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.
As soon as the salt refill indicator X on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
* depending on model
- Detergents with salt componentUsing 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 water softening systemSwitching off salt refill indicator/ water softening system
If the salt refill indicator X is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.
m 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 P 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.
- Setting amount of rinse aid
The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set in 4 stages. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see water hardness table).
Factory setting: 2.
Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.
- Switching off rinse-aid refill indicator
If the rinse-aid refill indicator P is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse-aid component), it can be switched off.
The rinse aid refill indicator P is now switched off.
- Utensils
  - Not suitable
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:
Recommendation:
- Loading the dishwasher
Very small utensils should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they can easily fall out of the utensils basket 1B.
- Unloading the dishwasher
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.
- BasketBasket 1B
- 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.
- Folding spikesFolding spikes *
* depending on model
The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.
- Height of utensils
The maximum height of the utensils is 36.5 cm.
- 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 l...
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.
m Warning
Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.
- Adding detergent
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).
- 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, 5i...
As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result.

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.
- · Hygiene *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.
- ¿ Extra drying *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.

The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water.
The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can be transferred to the next rinse bath and water consumption can be reduced by 2–4 litres. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drai...

- Interrupting the programme
- Terminating the programmeTerminating the programme (Reset)
- Changing the programme
When the START button 8 has been pressed, the programme cannot be changed.
The only way a programme can be changed is by Cancel programme (Reset).
- Intensive drying
The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result. The running time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!)
- Maintenance and care
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.
- Overall condition of the machine
If you find such deposits:
Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.
m Warning
Never use other chlorinated household detergents! Health hazard!
- Special salt and rinse aid
- Filters
The filters 1* keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a microfilter.
- Spray arm
Limescale and dirt from the rinsing water may block nozzles and the bearing assemblies of the spray arm 1".
- Troubleshooting
The majority of faults which could occur in daily operation can be rectified by the user. This ensures that the appliance is quickly available for use again. The following overview will help you locating the causes and gives helpful advise to elimina...
Note
If the appliance stops during dishwashing or does not start for no obvious reason, first run the Abort programme function (Reset).
(See chapter entitled “Dishwashing”)
m Warning
Don’t forget: Repairs may be carried out by technicians only. If a component has to be replaced, ensure that only original spare parts are used. Improper repairs or use of non-original spare parts may cause considerable damage and put the user at c...
- Waste water pump
Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water is then not pumped out and covers the filter.
