2.1 Safe installation
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

aus Environmental protection and saving energy
Unsuitable cleaning agents may dam-
age the appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
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

fore using them for the first time.
Environmental protection and saving energy3 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.
If you do not have much tableware to
wash, use the additional Half Load
function.
1
The programme will adjust to a
lower load and consumption will
be reduced.
"Additional functions", Page17
3.3 Aqua sensor
1
The aqua sensor is an optical meas-
uring device (light barrier) which
measures the turbidity of the washing
water. You can save water with the
aqua sensor.
Use of the AquaSensor depends on
the programme. If the soiling level is
low, the washing water is used in the
next wash cycle, allowing water con-
sumption to be reduced by 3-6 litres.
If the soiling level is higher, the wash-
ing water is drained off and replaced
with fresh water. In the automatic pro-
grammes the temperature and run-
ning time are additionally adjusted to
the level of soiling.
Installation and connection4 Installation and con-
nection
To ensure proper operation, connect
the appliance to the power and water
supply correctly. Observe the spe-
cified criteria and the installation in-
structions.

Detergent11 Detergent
11.1 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 together
with Rinse aid.
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 coloured stains, e.g.
tea or ketchup.
Note: Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for each detergent.
Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are suitable
for all cleaning
functions and do
not need to be
measured out.
With shorter Pro-
grammes tabs

dissolve entirely
and leave
residues of deter-
gent. This may im-
pair the cleaning

gent

grammes. 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 dis-
penser being
closed. This is not
a fault and is non-
critical if you re-
member the fol-
lowing:
Only choose a
programme
without PreR-
inse.
Do not select
timer program-
ming for start-
ing the pro-
gramme.
The dosage can
be adjusted to the
level of soiling.
Tip: Suitable detergents are available
online via our website or from Cus-
tomer Service
Page42
.
Separate detergents
Separate detergents are products
that do not contain components other
than detergent, e.g. powder 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 res-
ults, please also use Rinse aid.
Combined detergents
Besides conventional separate deter-
gents, a number of products are
available with additional functions.
These products not only contain 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.
Note: Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for each detergent.
If you are using combined detergent,
the washing programme is adjusted
automatically to ensure the best pos-
sible washing and drying result.
11.2 Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could
cause damage to the appliance or
present a risk to health.
Detergent Description
Hand wash-
ing-up liquid
Hand washing-up li-
quid can cause in-
creased frothing and
damage the appli-
ance.
Detergent
containing
chlorine
Chlorine residue on
tableware may
present a risk to
health.
11.3 Information on detergents
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 system to the
separate or combined detergent in
use.
Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for each detergent.
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 refill indicator
lights up, washing programmes will
still run properly with combined de-
tergents.
The function of rinse aid is limited
with combined detergents. You will
generally get better results using
rinse aid.
Use tablets with a special drying
performance.
11.4 Adding detergent
1.
To open the detergent dispenser,
press the locking latch.
2.
Add the detergent to the dry deter-
gent dispenser.
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
22

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.
3.
Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.
The lid clicks into position.
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.
Tableware12 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.
Delicate types of glass may turn
cloudy after a few washing cycles.
12.1 Damage to glass and tableware
Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if it is marked as dishwasher-safe
by the manufacturer. Avoid damage to glass and tableware.
Cause Recommendation
The following tableware is not dish-
washer-safe:
Items of cutlery and tableware
made from wood
Decorated glassware, antique and
hand-crafted tableware
Plastic parts not resistant to heat
Tableware made from copper or tin
Tableware soiled with ash, wax, lub-
ricating grease or paint
Very small items of tableware
Only put tableware in the dishwasher if
it is marked as dishwasher-safe by the
manufacturer.
The chemical composition of deter-
gent causes damage.
Use a detergent marked by the manu-
facturer as gentle on tableware.
Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic

ing agents, do not put aluminium parts
in the dishwasher interior.
The water temperature of the pro-
gramme is too high.
Select a programme with lower temper-
atures.
After the programme has ended, take
glassware and cutlery out of the appli-
ance without delay.
12.2 Arrange tableware
Arrange tableware correctly to optim-
ise the dishwashing result and pre-
vent damage to both the appliance
and tableware.
Tips
Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared
to washing-up by hand.
See our website for examples of
how to load your appliance effi-
ciently.
To save energy and water, load
the machine with the number of
place settings specified (standard
load with tableware and cutlery).
For better washing and drying res-
ults, position items with curves or
recesses at an angle so water can
run off.
1.
Remove large remnants of food
from tableware.
To save resources, do not pre-
rinse tableware under running wa-
ter.
2.
Observe the following when arran-
ging tableware:
Put heavily soiled tableware in
the bottom basket, e.g. pans.
The more powerful the spray jet,
the better the dishwashing result
will be.
To prevent damage to table-
ware, arrange it so it is stable
and cannot tip over.
To prevent injury, arrange cut-
lery with the points and sharp
edges facing down.
Position containers with the
openings facing down so no wa-
ter can collect in them.
Do not block the spray arms -
make sure that they can turn
freely.
Do not place small parts in the
tablet collecting tray and do not
block it with tableware so as not
to obstruct the lid of the deter-
gent dispenser.

Eco products may have limited effectiveness.
Plastic tableware is
not dry.
Not a fault. As plastic does not store heat so well, it
also does not dry as well.
No remedial action possible.

cutlery drawer.
Droplets can form on the cutlery contact points.
1.
Arrange cutlery individually where possible.

wet after wash cycle.
Not a fault. The condensation drying principle causes
water droplets in the tub – they are indeed desirable
here. The moisture in the air condenses on the inside
walls, runs off and is pumped out.
No action required.
