This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time.
Technical safety ~ Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous. ~ The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket.
~ This appliance may only be installed in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer. ~ The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component.
Installation ~ The dishwasher must be installed and connected in compliance with the diagram supplied. ~ The dishwasher must be correctly aligned to ensure problem-free operation. ~ In order to ensure stability, built-under and integrated dishwashers must only be installed under a continuous worktop which is secured to adjacent cabinetry.
~ Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling .
Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children.
Energy saving washing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: ^ If your water supply is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to hot water for further economies.
To open the door ^ Reach under the handle and pull the door open. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted. To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in. ^ Then raise the door up, and push until it clicks into position.
Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. The water softener in this dishwasher is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.
To programme the water hardness level Each time a button is pressed, one of the indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights mentioned in the following programming process stages are significant. The programming procedure can be cancelled at any time by pressing the the On/Off button K .

Before using the appliance for the first time, you require: – approx. 2 litres of water, – approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt*, – domestic dishwasher detergent*, – rinse aid* formulated for domestic dishwashers. * See "Optional accessories".
^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. It should therefore only be removed in order to refill the salt reservoir. ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only).
Switching off the refill indicators If you only ever use combination products containing salt and rinse aid in your dishwasher, you can switch both of these indicators off if you wish.
Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.
^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. ^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. ^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid.
Setting the rinse aid dosage You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory. If the Adjust Sensor wash function has been activated, the amount of rinse aid dispensed in the Sensor wash programme can be higher than that set.
Note Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to rinse items under running water. , Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher.
Items not suitable for dishwashers: – Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.
Upper basket , For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. ^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low.
Lower basket ^ For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. Glasses, cups and small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket.
MultiComfort area The rear section of the lower basket is used for washing cups, glasses, plates, pots and pans. ^ The glass rack can be raised to make more room for tall items. ^ Stem glassware, e.g. wine glasses or champagne flutes, can be leaned against the glass rack or suspended from it.
Cutlery Cutlery tray (depending on model) ^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.
Cutlery basket (depending on model) The cutlery basket can be placed anywhere on the front rows of spikes in the lower basket. ^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Detergent , Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Active ingredients Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: – Phosphates to prevent calcification. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soiling.
, Avoid inhalation of powder detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Switching on ^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed. ^ Close the door. ^ Open the stopcock, if it is closed. ^ Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button K . The Start/Stop indicator light will flash and the indicator light will come on next to the last programme selected.
Standby To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby mode a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or at the end of the programme. The indicator lights and the time display, if applicable, will go out, and only the Start/Stop indicator will flash slowly.
Unloading the dishwasher Dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Allow the dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading them. If you open the door fully after switching off, the dishes will cool much faster.
Turbo The Turbo function is used to reduce the duration of programmes in which this function is available. In order to achieve optimum cleaning results, consumption rates are increased with this option.
Delay start The start time of a programme can be delayed, e.g. to benefit from economy rates of electricity. A delay start time of between half an hour and 24 hours can be selected. With a delay start time of between half an hour and 9 hours 30 minutes, the time is set in half hour increments.
The time starts counting down until the programme start time: in one hour increments for delay start periods of over 10 hours, and in half hour increments for delay start periods of under 10 hours. At the end of the delay period, the programme selected begins automatically.
Adjust Sensor wash You can adjust the Sensor wash programme so that it will remove stubborn soiling from a lightly soiled load. ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the On/Off button K . ^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button K .
Optimise standby To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby mode a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or at the end of the programme. The indicator lights and the time display, if applicable, will go out, and only the Start/Stop indicator will flash slowly.
Factory default If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can re-set them back to the factory default settings as follows: ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the On/Off button K . ^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button K .
Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. ever y4-6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. , The external surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces.
Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms. , This dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place.
To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Press catches a together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter b . ^ Rinse all the filters under running water. ^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages. ^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). ^ Switch the dishwasher off. Remove the spray arms as follows: ^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one).
With the aid of the following guide, faults in the performance of the appliance, some of which may result from incorrect operation can be put right without contacting the Service Department. , Repairs should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and trained person in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations.
Problem Possible cause Remedy The Wash/Rinse, Drying and End indicator lights flash simultaneously. There may be a technical fault. – Clean the water inlet filter and clean the drain pump and non-return valve as described in "Maintenance".

General problems Problem Possible cause Remedy Detergent residue is left in the dispenser at the end of a programme. The dispenser was still damp when detergent was added. Make sure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. The detergent dispenser lid cannot be closed properly.
Noises Problem Possible cause Remedy Knocking noise in the wash cabinet. A spray arm is knocking against an item in a basket. Interrupt the programme, and rearrange the items which are obstructing the spray arm. Rattling noise in the wash cabinet. Items of crockery are insecure in the wash cabinet.
Unsatisfactory washing result Problem Possible cause Remedy The dishes are not clean. The dishes were not loaded correctly. See notes in "Loading the dishwasher". The programme was not powerful enough. Select a more intensive programme. See Programme chart.
Problem Possible cause Remedy Dishes, cutlery and glasses are not dry or are flecked. The amount of rinse aid may be insufficient, or the rinse aid reservoir empty. Replenish the reservoir, increase the dosage or change the brand of rinse aid (see "Before using for the first time - Rinse aid").
Problem Possible cause Remedy Glassware has a brown or blue tinge, and film cannot be wiped off. This may be caused by the detergent. Change your detergent. Glassware is dull and discoloured; film cannot be wiped off. The glasses are not dishwasher-proof.
Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw connection of the valve on the water inlet hose. The filter must be cleaned when dirty, otherwise insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. , The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component.
Cleaning the drain pump and non-return valve If the water has not been pumped away at the end of a programme the drain pump or the non-return valve might be blocked. They are, however, easy to clean. ^ Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply. Switch off at the mains socket and withdraw the plug.
