Basic Course Below are step by step instructions to help you achieve the best possible dishwashing results. Load the baskets correctly! Your dishwasher is equipped with Super Cleaning System™. It is therefore not necessary to rinse the dishes before washing. Simply remove large food particles and debris.
NB! Only use dishwasher detergent Detergent for washing by hand cannot be used as the build-up of foam impedes the machine’s performance. Press the main switch Select program Select a program by pressing the program selector one or more times until the required program is displayed. Light wash If the dishes are not heavily soiled, you can select Light wash. This program is intended for glass and china which has just been used and therefore does not need such a powerful program.
Options Press Start/Stop and close Select options To select an option, press one of the option buttons Temperature With the temperature option button you can select the wash temperature yourself. You can vary the temperatures as follows: Normal Economy Intensive wash: 75°C 60°C Strong wash: 70°C 55°C Normal wash: 65°C 55°C Light wash: 50°C 40°C Quick wash: 50°C 30°C The temperature symbol will light up if you have chosen the normal temperature. This selection will remain in force until a change is made.
Eco-dishwashing Only perform washes with a full machine Waiting to run the wash until the machine is full saves energy. Wash at a lower temperature If the load is only lightly soiled, you can lower the temperature. Select program with Economy drying To save more energy - use Economy drying. You will get a better drying result if you leave the door slightly open after the end of the program.
Fragile dishes A number of household goods are not suitable for machine washing. There can be many reasons for this. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat, others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent. Fragile decoration China with decoration on top of the glaze (the article has a rough feel) should not be machine washed. Crystal/ glass Place the articles so that they do not knock together during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest possible program.

Connection to water Connection to drainage There must be a shut-off tap on the water supply pipe. The shut-off tap should be positioned above the work surface or at the front of the sink unit. When the drain hose is routed to a connection nipple at the sink’s water trap (see illustration 1), note that the hose must be fastened level with the underside of the sink unit – otherwise the dishwater from the sink can run down into the dishwasher.
