Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The packing material protects the dishwasher from transport damage. The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. ,Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Caring for the environment 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 household water system is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity, we would recommend connection to cold water.
Before using for the first time To open the door Safety lock ^ Press the release catch inside the door grip upwards and pull the door open. Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. If the door is opened during operation, all functions are automatically interrupted. ^ To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right. ^ To unlock the door, push the slide to the left. To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in.
Before using for the first time 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. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. – The water softener requires reactivation salt.
Before using for the first time 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 K button. The procedure can then be re-started from the beginning again.
Before using for the first time Checking the programmed water hardness level ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the K button. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "12 o'clock" position. ^ Press the Start/Stop button in and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the K button. Keep the Start/Stop button pressed in until the Start/Stop indicator comes on. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "3 o'clock" position.
Before using for the first time 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. Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the appliance from this test. It is not an indication that it has been used previously.
Before using for the first time ^ 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). Insufficient salt indication ^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt indicator light comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Adding 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. ,Inadvertently filling the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid indicator When the light comes on, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only. ^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time. ^ 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. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme.
Before using for the first time 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. 3ml at the factory. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: ^ Increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware: ^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "5 o'clock" position.
Loading the dishwasher 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. These materials will cause damage to the dishwasher. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed. – Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces.
Loading 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. – Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers. – Plastic items which are not heat resistant can melt or lose shape.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. Cup rack (depending on model) ^ To make room for tall items, raise the rack upwards. Glasses can be arranged along the positioning rail of the cup rack to give them some support during the programme. ^ Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against it. ^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom 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. This can be useful to help prevent water being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket ^ For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. You can also place glasses, cups, small plates and saucers in the lower basket. Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket. Heavily soiled items Dishwashers with cutlery tray ^ Place large platters and dishes in the centre of the lower basket. When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in diameter can be accommodated.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Cutlery tray (depending on model) If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, lay them the other way round. ^ 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. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery basket (depending on model) The cutlery basket can be placed anywhere on the front rows of spikes in the lower basket. ^ Fit it onto the cutlery basket if required. ^ In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.
Operation 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. – Enzymes to break down starch and loosen protein. – Oxygen based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).
Operation Dispensing ^ Follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging. ^ Unless directed otherwise, use one detergent tab or add 20 to 30 ml detergent to compartment II, depending on the level of soiling. With very heavy soiling you can also add a small amount of detergent to compartment l (see "Programme chart"). ^ Do not use tabs with the "Quick wash" programme, as they will not dissolve properly. Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results.
Operation Adding detergent For information Compartment I holds max. 10 ml, Compartment II holds max. 50 ml. There are markings in compartment II to assist with dispensing: 20, 30. The marks indicate a level of approx. 20 or 30 ml when the door is open in a horizontal position. ^ Press the opening catch on the detergent dispenser. The flap will spring open. The flap is always open at the end of a programme. ^ Add the required amount of detergent and close the flap.
Operation Switching on Starting the programme ^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed. ^ Turn the programme selector clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required programme. ^ Close the door. ^ Turn on the tap if it is turned off. ^ Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button K. The End indicator light comes on if the programme selector is not pointing at a programme. Selecting a programme Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.
Operation Standby Switching off 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 are switched off and only the Start/Stop indicator flashes slowly. At the end of a programme: ^ To switch the indicator lights back on, press the Start/Stop button. Standby will be cancelled.
Operation Interrupting a programme Operation is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. When the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. ,Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding! Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Operation Additional options Factory default settings The Wash/Rinse indicator light shows whether a setting other than the factory default setting has been set. If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can reset them back to the factory default settings as follows: – If the Wash/Rinse indicator light is flashing: All settings are factory default settings. ^ Switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button K.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door front Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. ,The outer surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the outer surfaces. Cleaning the wash cabinet The wash cabinet is largely self-cleaning, provided that the correct amount of detergent is always used.
Cleaning and care 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. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
Cleaning and care 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. 38 ^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Then turn the handle clockwise until both arrows point towards each other. The filter combination is locked in place.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms ^ Remove the lower basket. 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). ^ Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
