ATTENTION!

Improper installation of the appliance

may cause damage.

▶ If the dishwasher is installed above

or below other domestic appli-

ances, follow the information on in-

stallation in combination with a

dishwasher in the installation in-

structions for the individual appli-

ances.

▶ If there is no information or if the

installation instructions do not in-

clude the relevant information, con-

tact the manufacturer of these ap-

pliances to check that the dish-

washer can be installed above or

below these appliances.

▶ If no information is available from

the manufacturer, the dishwasher

should not be installed above or

below such appliances.

▶ To ensure the safe operation of all

domestic appliances, continue fol-

lowing the installation instructions

for the dishwasher.

▶ Do not install the dishwasher un-

der a hob.

▶ Do not install the dishwasher near

heat sources, e.g. radiators, heat

storage tanks, ovens or other ap-

pliances that generate heat.

Contact between the appliance and

water pipes may lead to corrosion of

these pipes, possibly causing them

to leak.

▶ Check that there is a distance of at

least 5cm between the appliance

and the water pipe. The pipes sup-

plied for the drinking water and

waste water connections are not

affected here.

Modified or damaged water hoses

may result in material damage and

damage to the appliance.

▶ Never kink, crush, modify or cut

through water hoses.

▶ Only use the water hoses supplied

with the appliance or genuine

spare hoses.

▶ Never re-use water hoses that

have been used before.

If the water pressure is too high or

too low, the appliance may not be

able to operate properly.

▶ Make sure that the water pressure

in the water supply system is min.

50kPa (0.5bar) and max.

1000kPa (10bar).

▶ If the water pressure exceeds the

maximum value specified, a pres-

sure-reducing valve must be in-

stalled between the drinking water

connection and the hose set of the

appliance.

2.2 Safe use

ATTENTION!

Escaping water vapour can damage

fitted units.

▶ When the programme ends, leave

the appliance to cool down for a

while before opening the door.

Special salt for dishwashers can

damage the tub due to corrosion.

▶ To make sure that any special salt

that escapes is washed out of the

tub, add the special salt to the dis-

penser for special salt immediately

before the programme starts.

Detergent may damage the water

softening system.

▶ Only fill the dispenser of the water

softening system with special dish-

washer salt.

Unsuitable cleaning agents may dam-

age the appliance.

▶ Do not use a steam cleaner.

Environmental protection and saving energy en

▶ So as not to scratch the finish on

the appliance, do not use sponges

with a rough surface or abrasive

cleaning agents.

▶ To prevent corrosion, do not use

sponge cloths on dishwashers with

a stainless steel front or rinse such

cloths thoroughly several times be-

fore using them for the first time.

3 Environmental protec-

tion and saving energy

3.1 Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ-

mentally compatible and can be re-

cycled.

▶ Sort the individual components by

type and dispose of them separ-

ately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your

appliance will use less electricity and

less water.

Use the Eco50° programme.

The Eco50° programme is en-

ergy-efficient and environmentally

friendly.

→"Programmes", Page19

If you do not have much tableware to

wash, use the additional Half Load

function.

The programme will adjust to a

lower load and consumption will

be reduced.

→"Additional functions", Page22

3.3 Efficient Dry

The appliance door opens automatic-

ally during the drying phase. This en-

sures a particularly economical dry-

ing result.

For best drying results wait until the

end of programme before unloading

the tableware. The programme has

ended when the display shows

"0h:00m".

If automatic door opening is deactiv-

ated, energy consumption increases

and the drying phase is usually

shortened.

10 Water softening sys-

tem

Hard water leaves limescale on the

tableware as well as the washing

tank, and parts of the appliance may

become blocked.

To ensure good dishwashing results,

you can treat the water with special

salt and the water softening system.

To avoid damage to the appliance,

water with a hardness above 9°E

must be softened.

10.1 Overview of water hardness settings

You can find an overview of the water hardness values that can be selected

here.

You can find out how hard your water is from your local water company or by

10.3 Special salt

You can use special salt to soften

water.

Adding special salt

If the special salt refill indicator lights

up, add special salt to the dispenser

for special salt just before the pro-

gramme starts. The consumption of

special salt depends on the water

hardness. The higher the water hard-

ness, the greater the consumption of

special salt.

ATTENTION!

Detergent may damage the water

softening system.

▶ Only fill the dispenser of the water

softening system with special dish-

washer salt.

Special salt for dishwashers can

damage the tub due to corrosion.

▶ To make sure that any special salt

that escapes is washed out of the

tub, add the special salt to the dis-

penser for special salt immediately

before the programme starts.

1. Unscrew the lid of the dispenser

for special salt and remove.

2. On initial start-up: Fill the dispenser

right up with water.

3. Note:Only use special salt for

dishwashers.

Do not use salt tablets.

Do not use table salt.

Add the special salt to the dis-

penser.

Fill the dispenser right up with spe-

cial salt. The water in the dis-

penser is displaced and forced

out.

4. Place the lid back on the dis-

penser and turn to close.

10.4 Switching off the water

softening system

If you find the special salt refill indic-

ator irritating, e.g. when using com-

bined detergents with salt replace-

ment substances, you can switch the

indicator off.

Note

To avoid damage to the appliance,

only switch off the water softening

system in the following cases:

¡ The water hardness is max. 26°E

and you are using a combined de-

tergent with salt replacement sub-

stances. According to the manu-

facturers, combined detergents

with salt replacement substances

can generally only be used up to a

water hardness of 26°E without

adding special salt.

ator is deactivated.

10.5 Regeneration of the wa-

ter softening system

In order to obtain fault-free function of

the water softening system, the appli-

ance performs regeneration of the

water softening system at regular in-

tervals.

Regeneration of the water softening

system takes place before the end of

the main rinse cycle in all pro-

grammes. It will increase the run time

and consumption values, e.g. water

and electricity.

12 Detergent

12.1 Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable

for dishwashers. Both separate and

combined detergents are suitable.

For optimum washing and drying res-

ults, use separate detergent, adding

Special salt →Page27 and Rinse aid

→Page28 separately.

Modern, powerful detergents mainly

use a low-alkaline formulation with

enzymes. Enzymes break down

en Detergent

starch and remove protein. Oxygen-

based bleaching agents are generally

used to remove coloured marks, e.g.

tea or ketchup.

Note:Follow the manufacturer's in-

structions for each detergent.

Tip:Suitable detergents are available

online via our website or from Cus-

tomer Service →Page53.

Tabs

Tabs are suitable for all cleaning

functions and do not need to be

measured out.

With shorter programmes tabs some-

times do not dissolve entirely and

leave residues of detergent. This may

impair the cleaning effect.

Powder detergent

Powder detergent is recommended

for shorter programmes.

The dosage can be adjusted to the

level of soiling.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent works faster and is

recommended for shorter pro-

grammes without PreRinse.

Sometimes liquid detergent may leak

out despite the detergent dispenser

being closed. This is not a fault and

is non-critical if you remember the

following:

¡ Only choose a programme without

PreRinse.

¡ Do not select timer programming

for starting the programme.

The dosage can be adjusted to the

level of soiling.

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products

that do not contain components other

than detergent, e.g. powder deter-

gent or liquid detergent.

With powder and liquid detergent the

dosage can be individually adjusted

to the level of soiling of the table-

ware.

For better washing and drying results

and to avoid damage to the appli-

ance, please additionally use Special

salt →Page27 and Rinse aid

→Page28.

Combined detergent

Besides conventional separate deter-

gents, a number of products are

available with additional functions.

These products contain not only de-

tergent but also rinse aid and salt re-

placement substances (3in1) and,

depending on the combination (4in1,

5in1,...), additional components such

as glass protection or stainless steel

cleaner.

According to the manufacturers,

combined detergents generally only

function up to a water hardness of

26°E. With a water hardness above

26°E you will need to add special

salt and rinse aid. For the best wash-

ing and drying results we recom-

mend using special salt and rinse aid

from a water hardness of 17°E. If

you are using combined detergent,

the washing programme is adjusted

automatically to ensure the best pos-

sible washing and drying result.

12.2 Unsuitable detergents

Do not use detergent which could

cause damage to the appliance or

present a risk to health.

Hand washing-up liquid

Hand washing-up liquid can cause in-

creased frothing and damage the ap-

pliance.

Detergent containing chlorine

Chlorine residue on tableware may

present a risk to health.

Detergent en

12.3 Information on deter-

gents

Follow the instructions on detergents

in everyday use.

¡ Detergents marked as "organic" or

"ecological" (environmentally

friendly) generally contain lower

levels of active agents or com-

pletely dispense with certain sub-

stances. The cleaning effect may

be restricted here.

¡ Set the rinse aid and the water

softening system to the separate

detergent or combined detergent

in use.

¡ According to the manufacturers,

combined detergents with salt re-

placement substances can only be

used up to a certain water hard-

ness, usually 26°E, without

adding special salt. For the best

washing and drying results we re-

commend using special salt from a

water hardness of 17°E.

¡ To prevent sticking, only touch de-

tergents 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, wash-

ing programmes will run properly

with combined detergents.

¡ The function of rinse aid is limited

with combined detergents. You will

generally get better results using a

separate rinse aid.

¡ Use tablets with a special drying

performance.

12.4 Adding detergent

1. To open the detergent dispenser,

press the locking latch.

2. Add the detergent to the dry deter-

gent dispenser.

15 ml

25 ml

50 ml

If you are using tablets, one is

enough. Insert the tablets in a hori-

zontal position.

If you are using powder or liquid

detergent, follow the manufac-

turer's instructions and quantities

for dosage in the detergent dis-

penser.

20ml–25ml detergent is suffi-

cient for normal soiling. If table-

ware is only lightly soiled, slightly

less than the amount of detergent

specified is usually sufficient.

en Tableware

3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-

penser.

a The lid clicks into position.

a The detergent dispenser will open

automatically at the optimum time

during the programme. 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.

Tip:If you use powder detergent and

select a program with pre-rinse, you

can also add a little detergent to the

interior door of the appliance.

13 Tableware

Only clean tableware that is suitable

for dishwashers.

Note:Decorated glassware and parts

made of aluminium or silver may

fade or discolour with dishwashing.

panel regularly

This ensures the

parts of the appli-

ance will remain

clean and hy-

gienic.

Action Benefit

This will prevent

unpleasant

odours.

17.4 Machine Care

Deposits, e.g. from remnants of food

and limescale, can cause your appli-

ance to malfunction. To avoid such

faults and reduce odours, we recom-

mend cleaning your appliance at reg-

ular intervals.

Machine Care combined with ma-

chine care products and machine

cleaners is the right programme for

the care of your appliance.

product or machine

descaler in powder

form.

Appliance interior, e.g.

2 Food remnants and

deposits

Machine cleaner Detergent dispenser

To ensure optimum cleaning perform-

ance, the programme doses the de-

tergents independently of each an-

other during the relevant cleaning

phase. Correct placement of the de-

tergents is necessary here.

Run Machine Care without tableware

if the indicator for Machine Care

lights up on the control panel or if ad-

vised to do so by the display. The in-

dicator will go out after you have run

Machine Care. If your appliance does

not have a reminder function, we re-

commend performing Machine Care
