IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This dishwasher is provided with Installation
Instructions and this Use and Care Manual.
Read and understand all instructions before
using the dishwasher.
This dishwasher is intended for use up to a
maximum altitude of 13,000 ft (4,000 meters)
above sea level.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or serious injury, observe the following:
Risk of fi re, el ect r i cal shock, or ser i ous injury

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded to a metal,
permanent wiring system or an equipment
grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions
included with this dishwasher for more
information on electrical requirements.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Use this dishwasher only for its intended
function, which is the washing of household
dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher
safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher, and
keep them out of the reach of children.
CAUTION!
When loading items to be washed:
ʋ Locate sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
ʋ Load knives and other sharp utensils
with their HANDLES UP to reduce the
risk of cut-type injuries.
ʋ Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
ʋ Do not operate your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are in place.
ʋ Do not tamper with or override
controls and interlocks.
Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish
racks of the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Risk of injury!
To avoid risk of injury, always use caution
when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle as hot water or
steam may escape. Do not fully open the
door until water noises have stopped and
steam has subsided.
To reduce risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on the dishwasher.
When children become old enough to
operate the appliance, it is the
responsibility of the parents/legal
guardians to ensure the children are
instructed in safe practices by qualified
persons.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential
dishwashers are not intended for licensed
food establishments.
Proper Care and Maintenance
WARNING
Risk of explosion!
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or
more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before
using a dishwasher that is connected to a
hot water system that has been unused
for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
Remove the dishwasher door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher for service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold
growth, do not allow wet areas to remain
around or under the dishwasher.
Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not
allow water to remain in your dishwasher
systems through extended periods of freezing
temperatures. Freezing temperatures can
damage the water fill valve and potentially
other components of your dishwasher.
NOTICE: It is highly recommended for the
end user to become familiar with the
procedure to shut off the incoming water
supply and the procedure to shut off the
incoming power supply. See the Installation
Instructions or contact your installer for more
information.

Water softening system / special salt
Water softening system / special salt
To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires
soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise
limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior
container. Tap water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be
softened. The water is softened with special salt
(regeneration 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 following water
hardness table).

Detergent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for
dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered
dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:
ʑ Do not use hand dishwashing products in your
dishwasher.
ʑ Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft.
Using too much detergent with soft water may cause
etching in glassware and fine china.
ʑ To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low
temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle
(depending on the model) and use a detergent that
includes etch protection.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water
supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if
necessary to the least amount required to get your
kitchenware clean.
Adding detergent
1. If the detergent dispenser 9* is still closed, actuate
locking bar 92 to open it.
2. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 9*
only. Do not overfill the detergent dispenser.
When using detergent tabs, lay them such that they
do not come in contact with the cover, insert a
detergent tab flat, not on its side.
Note:Do not place detergent tabs in the tab tray 1B.
Place tabs or other detergent forms directly in the
detergent dispenser 9*.
3. Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on
the packaging. Use graduated detergent dispenser.
Usually 1¼ to 1½ tablespoons (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 wash cycle. The
powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the
appliance and is dissolved, the detergent tab falls
into the detergent tab 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).

Combination detergent
Apart from conventional single function detergents, 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, 5in1, ...), additional components such as glass
protection or stainless steel cleaner. Combination
detergents function only up to a specific degree of
hardness (usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and rinse-
aid must be added.
As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse
programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best
possible rinsing and drying result.
Notes
ʑ If you want to add more utensils after the wash cycle
has started, do not use the detergent tab tray 1B as
a handle for the upper rack. The detergent tab could
already be there and you will touch the partially
dissolved tab.
ʑ Do not place small parts for washing in the detergent
tab tray 1B; this prevents the detergent tab from
dissolving evenly.
ʑ You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results
by using single function detergents and applying salt
and rinse aid separately.
ʑ If wash cycles are short, detergent tabs 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 wash cycles.
ʑ The dosing of a detergent tab is adequate for the
“Intensive” wash cycle (for some models). When
using washing powder, you can apply some of this
cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance’s door.
ʑ Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit,
the rinse cycle will run correctly with combined
detergents.
ʑ 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.
ʑ If you switch from combined detergents to single
function detergents, ensure that the water softening
system and amount of rinse aid have been set to
the correct value.
ʑ Biological/eco detergents: Detergent products
identified as “Bio” or “Eco” (to protect the
environment) usually use lower quantities of active
agents or completely dispense with certain
substances. The cleaning effect of such products
may occasionally be restricted.

Wash Cycle Information
To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where
the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the
cycle length, temperature and water changes based on
the amount of food soil and the incoming water
temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that
can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust
intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120°F
(49° C) water supply. If your household water supply is
different than 120°F (49° C), your dishwasher’s cycle
times may be impacted.
Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of Section 6 of the NSF/ANSI Standard
for Residential Equipment for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly,
to imply that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.

AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which
measures the cleanliness of the rinse water.
The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If
the AquaSensor is active, “clean” rinse water can be
transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can
be reduced by 0.8–1-5 gal (3–6 liters). If the rinse water
is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with
fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the
temperature and running time can also be adjusted to
the degree of soiling.
Time display
The wash cycle time is determined during the wash
cycle by the water temperature, the amount of dishes, as
well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending
on the selected wash cycle). You can change the time
display into time of day or hours/minutes so that the
remaining cycle time of the wash cycle appears in the
display window “Finish at” (for example 15:20 o’clock)
or “Finish in” (for example 3:25 hours).
Sensor setting
The wash cycle sequence is optimized in Auto wash
cycles with the aid of sensors. The sensors adjust the
wash cycle strength of Auto wash cycles depending on
the amount and type of soiling. You can adjust the
sensitivity of the sensors in 3 stages.
Standard: This setting is recommend for daily regular or
typical use. This is the most energy efficient setting.
Sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle strength
for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the
amount of soiling is low. The energy and water
consumption is increased accordingly.
Very sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle
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 increased accordingly.
Extra Dry
The final rinse uses a higher temperature which
improves the drying result. The cycle time may increase
slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!) You can
switch the Extra Dry function on or off. There is a slight
increase in energy consumption.
Eco forecast
When Eco forecast is activated, the average water and
energy consumption of the selected wash cycle is
briefly displayed in the digital display @.
Auto power off
This setting determines the length of time the control
panel stays illuminated after the cycle is complete.
To save energy, the recommended setting is “after one

Cleaning intervals
The filter system 1Z is designed to minimize
maintenance while providing premium cleaning
performance and minimum energy consumption.
Depending on use habits and water hardness, the filter
system will require some maintenance to sustain
premium cleaning performance.
Your filter system may need to be cleaned when:
ʑ You notice food soils remaining on the filter system
or objects trapped in the Large Object Trap.
ʑ A drop in cleaning performance or a gritty film forms
on the dishware.
When washing normally attached food soils that have
been scraped before loading, in a household that runs
the dishwasher every other day, your filter should be
cleaned:
Note: Clean the filter after washing loads with large
amounts of food soils or loads with a heavy starch
content to maintain optimal performance.
To check or clean the filter system:
1. After each wash cycle check the filters for residue.
2. Unscrew the Large Object Trap as illustrated and
remove the entire filter system.
3. Remove the microfilter from the fine filter for easier
cleaning.
4. Rinse the filters under running water and use a soft
brush to clean.
Note:do not use abrasive brushes or steel wool, etc.,
as they may damage the filter.
5. Reinstall the filter system in reverse sequence and
lock into place by screwing the Large Object Trap
until the marking arrows align.

Statement of Limited Product Warranty
Statement of Limited Product Warr anty
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
(“Product”) sold to you, the first using purchaser,
provided that the Product was purchased:
ʑ for your normal, household (non-commercial) use,
and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes;
ʑ new at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial
use; and
ʑ within the United States or Canada, and has at all
times remained within the country of original
purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to
the first purchaser of the Product and are not
transferable.
Gaggenau reserves the right to request proof of
purchase at the time any warranty claim is submitted to
confirm that the Product falls within the scope of this
limited product warranty.
Please make sure to return your registration card; 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.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
Gaggenau warrants that the Product is free from
defects in materials and workmanship for a period of
seven hundred thirty (730) days (2 years) from the date
of purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon
the date of purchase, 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, chip,
dents, or other damage to the finish of the Product), for
a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase 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.

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 a reasonable number 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). 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 an unauthorized servicer;
Gaggenau will have no responsibility or liability for
repairs or work performed by a non-authorized servicer.
If you choose to have someone other than an authorized
service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY
WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID.
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). 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.

provide you with any concessions, including repairs,
