- Water softening system4
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.4
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.4
The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).4
- Setting4
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: 1.4
- Water hardness table4
- Special salt $5
  - Using special salt5
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.5
As soon as the salt refill indicator X on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.5
* depending on model5
- Detergents with salt componentUsing detergents with salt component5
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.5
- Switching off water softening systemSwitching off salt refill indicator/ water softening system5
If the salt refill indicator X is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.5
m Warning5
Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.5
- Rinse aid %6
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.6
The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.6
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.6
- Setting amount of rinse aid6
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).6
Factory setting: 2.6
Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.6
- Switching off rinse-aid refill indicator6
If the rinse-aid refill indicator P is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse-aid component), it can be switched off.6
The rinse aid refill indicator P is now switched off.6
- Utensils7
  - Not suitable7
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.7
- Glass and utensil damage7
Causes:7
Recommendation:7
- Loading the dishwasher7
Very small utensils should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they can easily fall out of the utensils basket 1B.7
- Unloading the dishwasher7
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.7
- BasketBasket 1B7
- Cutlery basket8
You should always place cutlery unsorted with the points downwards.8
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed implements and knives on the knife shelf.8
- Folding spikesFolding spikes *8
* depending on model8
The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.8
- Height of utensils8
The maximum height of the utensils is 36.5 cm.8
- Detergent8
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...8
Note8
To ensure a good washing result, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging!8
If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.8
m Warning8
Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.8
- Adding detergent9
Tip9
If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.9
Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service (see back page).9
- Combination detergent9
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...9
As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result.9

- Maintenance and care13
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.13
- Overall condition of the machine13
If you find such deposits:13
Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.13
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.13
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.13
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.13
m Warning13
Never use other chlorinated household detergents! Health hazard!13
- Special salt and rinse aid13
- Filters13
The filters 1* keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.13
