4.2 Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith drying
lets you save energy.
Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and energy
and then release them again.
During dishwashing energy is used to heat up the washing
water and dry the mineral.
During the drying phase, moisture from the interior of the
dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat is released.
The heat is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher
with dry air. This speeds up and improves drying.
Therefore, zeolith drying is very efficient.
Note:To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do
not position dishware parts directly in front of the intake
opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container.
Do not position heat-sensitive dishware parts directly in
front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container.
→
"Appliance", Page9
4.3 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light
barrier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water.
You can save water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor depends on the selected
cycle. If the soiling level is high, the washing water is
drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling
level is lower, the washing water is used in the next rinse,
so reducing water consumption by 3-6 liters. In the Auto
cycles the temperature and run time are additionally
adjusted to the level of soiling.
en-us Environmental protection and energy-saving

4.4 Sensors
The sensors adjust the cycle sequence and strength in the
Auto cycles depending on the level and type of soiling.
The sensor has different sensitivity levels that can be
changed in the basic settings.

"Changing the basic settings", Page31
Sensor setting Description
Standard Optimal setting for mixed loads
and heavily soiled dishware.
Saves both energy and water.
Sensitive Adjusts the cycle strength for
effective removal of food
remnants even with low soiling
levels. Energy and water
consumption are adjusted
accordingly.
Very sensitive Adjusts the cycle strength for
difficult conditions of use, e.g.
stubborn dried-on food remnants.
Recommended setting when
using organic or ecological
detergents containing low levels
of active agents. Energy and
water consumption are adjusted
accordingly.

6.1 Energy Guide
The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil
sensing cycle.
The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the
rinse aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent was
inserted into the detergent dispenser, with no detergent
being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to
truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure.
We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the
energy certification test have the rack position set in the
highest position. Recommended for daily, regular or
typical use to completely wash a full load of normally
soiled dishes.

separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline
formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch
and remove protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are
generally used to remove colored stains, e.g. tea or
ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each
detergent.
Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are perfect for all cleaning
functions and do not need to be
measured out.
However, with shorter Cycles
→
Page12
sometimes tabs do not
dissolve entirely and leave residues
of detergent. This may reduce its
effectiveness.
Powder detergent Powder detergent is recommended
for shorter cycles. The dosage can
be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works faster and is
recommended for shorter cycles
without a pre-rinse.
Sometimes liquid detergent may
leak out despite the detergent
dispenser being closed. This is not a
problem, just remember the
following:
¡ Only choose a cycle without
PreRinse.
¡ Do not use the Delay Start option.
The dosage can be adjusted to the
level of soiling.
12.2 Incompatible detergents
Do not use a detergent which is not designated for
dishwasher use or contains chlorine.

12.3 Information on Detergent
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "ecological" (environmentally
friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents
or none at all. The cleaning effect may be reduced.
¡ Adjust the rinse aid and the water softening system
settings in accordance with the detergent or
combination detergent in use.
¡ According to manufacturers, combination detergents
with salt replacement substances can only be used up
to a certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without
adding special salt. For the best washing and drying
results we recommend using special salt from a water
hardness of 17 °E.
¡ Any rinse aid component of a combination detergent
has limited effectiveness. You will have better results
using a separate rinse aid.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-
soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them
in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light
up, the wash cycles will run properly with combination
detergents.
¡ Use tablets with enhanced drying results.
12.4 Adding Detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking
latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.
3 tbsp (45 ml)
1.75 tbsp

1 tbsp (15 ml)
If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets
in a horizontal position.
If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and quantities for dosage in
the detergent dispenser.
1.5 to 1.75 Tbsp (20 ml – 25 ml) detergent is sufficient
for normal soiling. If dishware is only lightly soiled,
slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is
usually sufficient.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.
a The lid clicks into position.
a The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the
optimum time during the cycle. Powder or liquid
detergent will spread around the washing tank and
dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting
tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure
that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other
objects in the tablet collecting tray.

17.3 Tips on appliance care
Follow the tips on appliance care to make sure your
appliance functions properly at all times.
Action Benefit
Regularly wipe the door
seals, the front of the
dishwasher and the control
panel using a damp cloth
and dishwashing liquid.
This ensures the parts of
the appliance will remain
clean and hygienic.
If the appliance is not going
to be used for a while,
leave the door slightly ajar.
This will prevent unpleasant
odors.
17.4 Machine Care
Deposits, e.g. from food remnants and limescale, can
cause your appliance to malfunction. To avoid these
problems and reduce odors, we recommend cleaning your
appliance at regular intervals.
Machine Care combined with machine cleaning products
will provide the right care for your appliance.
Note:You can buy our tested and approved Dishwasher
Care and Machine Cleaner for Dishwashers online at
https://www.gaggenau.com/global/store or from customer
service.
Machine Care is a program which removes various
deposits in one wash cycle. Cleaning takes place in two
phases:
Phase Removal of Cleaner Placement
1 Grease and limescale Liquid machine care product or
machine descaler in powder form.
Appliance interior, e.g. bottle hung
in the silverware basket or powder
in the interior.
2 Food remnants and deposits Machine cleaner Detergent dispenser
To ensure optimal cleaning performance, the program
doses the cleaners independently of each another during
the relevant cleaning phase. Therefore, it's important to
place the cleaners correctly.
Run Machine Care without dishware if the indicator for
Machine Care lights up on the control panel or if advised
to do so by the display. The indicator will go out after you
have run Machine Care. If your appliance does not have a
reminder function, we recommend performing Machine

22.1 What this warranty covers & Who it
applies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
(“Gaggenau“) in this Statement of Limited Product
Warranty applies only to the Gaggenau appliance sold to
you (“Product“), provided that the Product was purchased:
¡ For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and
has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.
¡ New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly
from BSH (not a display, "as is", or previously returned
model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
¡ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times
remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original
purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each
succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary
home use during the term of the warranty.
Please make sure to register your Product; while not
necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best
way for Gaggenau to notify you in the unlikely event of a
safety notice or product recall.
22.2 How long the warranty lasts
Gaggenau warrants that the Product is free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred
and thirty (730) days from the date of the original delivery.
The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of
original delivery, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended,
or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is
also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in
material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless
steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other
damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of sixty
(60) days from the date of delivery or closing date for new
construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color
variations due to inherent differences in painted and
porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen
lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This
cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor,
“As Is”, or “B” stock appliances.
22.3 Extended Warranty
BSH also provides these additional limited warranties:
¡ 5 year limited warranty on electronics: BSH will repair or
replace any BSH microprocessor or printed circuit board
if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship
(excludes labor charges).

Depending on the appliance specifications
STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY en-us

¡ 5 year limited warranty on dish racks: BSH will replace
the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack
components), if the rack proves defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor charges).
¡ Lifetime warranty against stainless steel rust through:
BSH will repair or replace your dishwasher with the
same model or a current model that is substantially
equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner liner
should rust through (excludes labor charges).
¡ BSH will repair or replace the stainless steel door if the

22.4 Repair/replace as your exclusive
remedy
During this warranty period, Gaggenau or one of its
authorized service providers will repair your Product
without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated
herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured
with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable
attempts to repair the Product have been made without
success, then Gaggenau will replace your Product
(upgraded models may be available to you, in Gaggenau's
sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this
warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be
replaced with parts of a different type or design than the
original parts. All removed parts and components shall
become the property of Gaggenau at its sole option. All
replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of
the original part for purposes of this warranty and this
warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts.
Gaggenau's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to
repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a
Gaggenau authorized service provider during normal
business hours. For safety and property damage
concerns, Gaggenau highly recommends that you do not
attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-
authorized service provider; Gaggenau will have no
responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs
or work performed by a non-authorized service provider.
Authorized service providers are those persons or
companies that have been specially trained on Gaggenau
products, and who possess, in Gaggenau's opinion, a
superior reputation for customer service and technical
ability (note that they are independent entities and are not
agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of
Gaggenau). Nevertheless, taking your product to be
serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an
authorized dealer of Gaggenau will not void this warranty.
Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gaggenau will not incur
any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is
located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an
authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible,
hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale,
surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you
request, Gaggenau would still pay for labor and parts and
ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider,
but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any
travel time or other special charges by the service
company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a
difficult-to-access location or have otherwise installed
temporary or permanent fixtures that create barriers to
accessing or removing the Product, Gaggenau will not
incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or
costs associated with moving the Product or otherwise
creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace
it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.
22.5 Out of warranty product
Gaggenau is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to
provide you with any concessions, including repairs,
prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has
expired.
22.6 Warranty exclusions
