Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material Disposing of your old appliance The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety.
Using for the first time Every dishwasher is tested at the factory. There will be residual water in the machine from this test. It is not an indication that the dishwasher has been used previously. Opening the door In some programmes the door automatically opens slightly to assist the drying process. This function can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings - AutoOpen”). At the end of the programme, if the AutoOpen function is on, the door locking pins automatically retract.
Using for the first time Closing the door Activating the safety lock Push the baskets right in. Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. The door can then only be opened by using a lot of force. Raise the door upwards until the catch engages. Risk of crushing due to the door closing. When closing the door, you are at risk of shutting your fingers in it. Do not put your hand inside the door as it is closing.
Using for the first time Standard settings Setting the water hardness Switching on the dishwasher The display will change to the screen for setting the water hardness. Switch the dishwasher on with the button. The welcome screen will appear when the dishwasher is switched on for the first time. For further information about the display functionality, see “Guide to the appliance - Display functions”. - The dishwasher needs to be programmed to the correct water hardness for your area.
Using for the first time Finally, prompts will appear in the display. After confirming these prompts with OK, the messages Refill salt and Refill rinse aid may appear. Add salt and rinse aid if necessary (see “Using for the first time Dishwasher salt” and “Rinse aid”). Select OK to confirm the messages. When a programme is selected, it will appear briefly in the display and the relevant indicator light will come on.
Using for the first time Dishwasher salt In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft (low limescale) water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the appliance. Water with a hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.5 mmol/l (70 °dH - German scale).
Using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Risk of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened.
Using for the first time Replenishing salt When Refill salt appears in the display wait until the end of the programme and then refill the salt reservoir. Confirm with OK. The salt refill indicator will go out. Risk of corrosion due to saline After the salt reservoir has been filled, the refill reminder may still appear in the display if the salt concentration has not yet reached the correct level. In this case, confirm with OK again.
Using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase, and it helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. Damage caused by washing-up liquid or detergents. Dishwasher detergent will destroy the rinse aid reservoir. Only fill rinse aid designed for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir.
Using for the first time Adding rinse aid Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This prevents over-foaming occurring during the next programme. You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results (see "Settings - Rinse aid"). Refilling rinse aid When the Refill rinse aid message appears, the reservoir only contains sufficient rinse aid for another 2 - 3 programmes. Add rinse aid in good time. Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the rinse aid container . The lid will spring open. Confirm with OK.
Caring for the environment Economical dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can support the economical operation of your appliance by following these tips: - Washing in a dishwasher generally uses less water and energy than washing dishes by hand. - Pre-rinsing dishes under running water is not necessary and unnecessarily increases water and energy consumption.
Caring for the environment EcoFeedback consumption display The "Consumption" function is used for calling up information about the energy and water consumption of your dishwasher (see "Settings Consumption (EcoFeedback)"). The estimated consumption function is activated as standard. It can be deactivated, if preferred (see “Settings Consumption (EcoFeedback)”). 2.
Loading the dishwasher General information Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to pre-rinse items under running water. Damage can be caused by ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint. These substances will contaminate the dishwasher and can then no longer be removed. Do not wash items soiled with these substances in the dishwasher. Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the baskets.
Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher: - Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts. These may discolour and fade. Furthermore, the glue used in these items is not dishwasher safe. Wooden handles may come loose after being washed in the dishwasher. - Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware. Such items are not suitable for dishwashers. Damage due to caustic alkaline detergents. Aluminium parts (e.g.

Detergents Types of detergents Damage due to unsuitable detergents. Detergents that are not suitable for domestic dishwashers can cause damage to the dishwasher or to the load. Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. There are different types of detergents: - Powder and liquid gel detergents. These detergents allow you to adjust the amount dispensed according to the size of the load and the level of soiling. - Tablet detergents. These are suitable for most levels of soiling.
Detergents Risk of chemical burns from Detergent dispensing detergent. Dishwasher detergents can cause burning on the skin and in the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat. Avoid contact with detergents. Do not inhale or ingest powder detergents. Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Seek medical attention immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergents out of reach of children. Detergent residues could still be present in the machine.
Detergents Adding detergent The detergent must not cause the detergent compartment lid to get stuck. This can prevent the lid from opening during the wash programme. Do not overfill the detergent compartment. Ensure that the detergent packaging is properly closed after use. This prevents the detergent from getting damp and clumping together. Lift the yellow catch on the lid of the detergent compartment . The lid will slide open. The lid will also be open at the end of the programme.
Operation Switching on the dishwasher Selecting a programme Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Choose your programme according to the type of crockery and the degree of soiling. Close the door. Turn on the tap if it is turned off. Press the button. When a programme is selected, it will appear briefly in the display and the relevant indicator light will come on. Next, the estimated energy and water consumption may be shown for the selected programme for several seconds.

Only use cleaning agents formulated for use on the relevant surfaces.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door and the door seal To avoid damaging the external surfaces, do not use the following: The door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a result, mould can develop here. - cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits. - abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 2–4 months). Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. Without filters, soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage. Do not run a wash programme without the lower spray arm or without the filters fitted.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Refitting the spray arms Refit the upper and middle spray arms. Refit the lower spray arm and ensure that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Use a pointed object to push food particles stuck in the jets into the spray arm. Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water. Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol .
Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet Cleaning the filters The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms. Remove the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care - Cleaning the spray arms”). Damage due to soiling entering Switch the dishwasher off.
Cleaning and care In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter downwards and away from the filter combination. Rinse all the parts under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling. Push the microfilter back onto the filter combination. Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw thread.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. Risk of electric shock. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. The housing must not be dipped in water. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply. To do this, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Carefully remove the seal from the threaded union.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the drain pump If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a programme, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These foreign objects are easy to remove. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply. To do this, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care - Cleaning the filters”).
Cleaning and care Damage caused by incorrect cleaning. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover. Risk of injury from glass splinters. It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it.
